It may not be related, but I had trouble with mine at first. I opened up the plug gap because it seemed like the thing to do do. WRONG. I had constant problems. Went back to .025 plug gap and haven't had a problem in years. The extra voltage caused by the wider gaps stressed the caps causing minute cracks which allowed the moisture in.
