Come to think of it, there was no backfiring through the exhaust nor was there kickback. When it did run it seemed to hit at random, there was no rhythm or pattern to it. It did pop back through the carb. When I pulled the air filter bowl it was full of fog and steam. I still lean toward moisture lurking in the cap but those plug wires definitely do need to go. If a plug wire was cross firing into another plug wire I would think there would be the same misfire or backfire every time the wire fired a spark. If more than one plug wire was sending spark into a neighboring wire it would still happen every time it fired. When this thing did run it would hit a couple random times then just plain die till it caught again. Anyway, new cap and wires is in order. The wires have paint on them from when I painted the tractor a good twenty years ag. Time does get away from us.
