- I've got a 72 Jeepster w/232 motor. Whenever it rains heavily, my jeepster
- won't start. Turns over but it doesn't sound like ignition is occuring.
- Can anyone suggest areas to check for moisture that could keep her from
- starting. I'm thinking about going over( by guessing) the electrical
- system and dabbing some silicone junk or spray over the areas that might
- get wet. Is this dangerous? As you can tell, I'm not too knowledgeable
- about this so your suggestions/advice is very much appreciated. Gotta get
- this fixed before attempting a run to tahoe.(snow)
