Subject:Help with wet weather cut out problem
From:Dave Engstrom
Date:Sun, 9 May 2004 17:31:58 EDT

My 87 Westie has developed a problem.  After the engine is warmed up and if
it is wet out (raining) the engine will cut out.  Turning the ignition off and
restarting solves the problem for a few miles and then it cuts out again. This
is not a problem in dry weather only in wet weather. Any suggestions? Coil?
Plug wire?  Dist. Cap?

Any suggestions appreciated.
