We finally had a cool damp mornig one day last week and the old H played hard to start. Doesn't pop a peep. It'll flood easy, too, but that's a matter of using the lightest touch on the choke. Cold doesn't seem to make much difference but if the tractor is sweaty all over from the condensation it's probably going to be hard to start. I finally got it to run, but it took a lot more fiddling than I'd like. Last year I decided the dist. cap was part of the problem. It was old, weathered and the aluminum posts inside were chipped, scorched, and corroded. Now I have one that's new, shiny and the aluminum posts inside are chipped, scorched, and corroded. On the off chance that there's a connection between the condition of the cap and the failure to start on damp days I've decided to get another. I think I have read here that dist. caps for these tractors are available with copper rather than aluminum connections. If anybody thinks they're better I'll go for it. If I can find them. Thanks, Wm
