G14AP Won't Start When It Rains

[GaryG]

This G14AP cart absolutely will not start after it rains. Or if it gets wet under niether for that matter. It needs a day to dry out. I thought maybe the coil wire is the problem?? I haven't done anything to it yet. I want to do things differently this time. Troubleshoot the problem first, then buy parts. I usually replace everything, then find out it was something totally diferent. Can you help me guys?

I had a similar problem,cart would run real crappy when it was cold, had to use choke to get it moving if it would start at all. I cleaned the carb with no change then spark plug still the same problem. I changed the magneto in behind the flywheel and the cart runs perfectly now. It has never been better and i never use the choke now to get going even in the cold.

Thanks Whip, is that something I can do at home or should I have a shop do it? I mean do I need to get into timing and magnetic gap?

Does the engine turn over?
