See, you should always listen to the old boys. They said 'for the winter, make sure your wires and plugs are in good shape.' Did I listen? No. Plowing snow, slow, cold and lugging down a bit in spite of TA, #2 quit. Well, if it had been a green tractor, I'd of been out of luck, but reds run okay on 3 of 4. Finished up, limped home, prayed it wasn't a valve. Went to TSC, got wires and plugs. Ordered cap and rotor from NAPA. Did wires and plugs, one at a time (#2 first) to start with. Replaced them one at a time (hey, I've been around the block at least once) to see if and when I added a miss-fire. Well, with each dirty old fouled plug (leaned out the mixture later) and floppy old wire that was covered from the paint job, she just ran better. After all four, she purred. Came back next day. Stone, ice-cold. Hit the starter and barely turned over once before she caught and purred. Old boys were right. Cap and rotor came in. Re-arced the cap springs, replaced the old cap, as cascades of green stuff came out of the old wire-holes, and things got even better. Yep. Listen to the old boys. Get the ignition in shape BEFORE winter.
