Not having rain caps is a major problem! Having a little roof over it like some of them do is what you need. Check your fuel supply. Check with Jegs or Summit auto for performance parts. Also you need to find out the proper timing, when it’s kicking back when starting it means timing is too far advanced, which WILL damage something

[@yowser8780]

YUP ! Rainfall in the exhaust will waste the engine. Likely wasted the distributor cap too. Engine sounds like a fuel problem... like too much fuel ! Which it was I guess.

[@brianrance]

Seconding for Summit Racing, they should have a quality distributor cap kit and I'd also advise some sort of cover, half a milk jug or something with a Bungie cord to hold it down to keep water from infiltrating. Dielectric Grease can help as well.

[@FriPilot]

And check the alternator. I wonder how well it's charging?

[@joefudd]

I don't think that Grant even owns a timing light? Every distributor that I've seen him replace in previous videos, not once do we ever see him use a timing light to properly adjust the timing. Yes, kicking back against the starter means that the timing is too high. It running on natural gas (lower octane) will likely cause pre-ignition/detonation much easier than with gasoline and can torch the valves and pistons.

[@FriPilot]

@@joefudd I kept wondering the same thing. Timing lights aren't real expensive.

[@theetactician]

Can I just say there is nothing more American than watering your corn with a straight piped American V8. I love it. Honestly, the pivots are the reason I started watching this channel. I grew up in the country, but we don’t have those around here very often. So I always wondered how they worked when I seen them. Now I just watch because you guys are awesome.

[@ronaldwilkinson6685]

Your ignition timing is off on the engine. You have to set it with a timing light. That's why it cranks hard like that.

[@bollera.bolljr2414]

regarding the distributor , I've had good luck with ordering from Speedway Motors in Lincoln , and also from the local NAPA shop for cap ,rotor, wires and module .Keep up the great videos ! Also sounds like its advanced way too much , check with a timing light , or pull #1 plug and see where timing mark is at when engine is at TDC

[@charlesrainey2843]

I've never seen Grant ever use a timing light. I'll bet that he doesn't even own one!

[@maxrunge7599]

Get rid of the HEI distributor and put one that doesn't have the coil on top. They are not ment to be out in the rain. Water will get under the coil and internet top of the distributor. You can get a drop in distributor from Jegs for under 100 bux

[@earlbrown]

No idea if you'll find this comment since the video is 4 hours old.... From watching this video, I can see you have a big block Ford with an HEI conversion distributor. It is most likely a POS, but that's OK. For what you're doing it can be fixed. First, the ONLY ignition module to run in those is an OEM GM or Delphi module... Bad part is they don't exist anymore. I paid extra for one a couple months ago and it came with ''made in China'' on the box. Another thing you need to look at is the mechanical advance next time you have the cap and button off. There's a VERY good chance it's seized up. That explains why it was kicking back when you were trying to start it. If it's locked at full advance, it'll be hard to start but 'right' when running. (assuming the timing is set right for your fuel and load when running right) Now it's good you don't have the vacuum advance setup. On cars, it's great, for a stationary engine that runs one speed, it's useless. The engine only sees one load, so there's no need for a load related advance adjustment. Now for the quality of your cap, button, and coil what you have is standard GM stuff. If you look up parts for an '80 Camaro with a 350, you'll find listings for whatever you need. Rockauto is a great place to find good parts on the cheap and buy in bulk. I like the caps with brass terminals instead of terminals. On thing you need to investigate is 'rotor phasing'. Basically that means the spark fires while the rotor is actually pointed at the terminal. If it's way off, you'll have sparks flying around in there creating some havoc, that could shorten the life of your carbon contact and the other contacts as well. You found one of your issues with the smoked carbon contact that made a bunch of issues under the cap. You can also get a Standard brand with brass contacts. I've have good luck with those in cars. If you want to try an AC Delco cap, Amazon has them for $14. I have no idea if they're made in China right now, but you can see them here. amzn.to/46f2hgj Pertonix is also a good brand. For a few bucks more they have a cap and rotor kit that might work good for your stationary engine. amzn.to/3PsMa7U The real trick will be to find a cap and rotor that will last one full season. Then you can just make that yearly maintenance item and hopefully stop dealing with it at random when crops are dry. Since I pretty much wrote a book, I should probably stop, but IF you happen to find this and need some clarification, just message me back and I'll fix you up.

[@js7127]

My guess on the primary problem was the diaphragm in the natural gas "carburetor". So partially right, was a fuel problem but the dist. cap was really tired. Love the day to day vids cuz you make them educational. Hoping for an update on Pepper and her little ones. Best as always

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video Laura and Grant. Wow. Hard day for you both getting the irrigation fixed and going. Who would have thought someone shut the natural gas off. Oh well. You got it going again. Yeah. Once you got the motor going it ran pretty darn good. Nice work you two. Yes irrigation is tough to keep going but it is a necessity to get good crops and make money and have income. So I guess it is something to just put up with. Hang in there you two. You both are doing great. Proud of you for hanging in there. Yeah. Farming has many ups and downs. Hopefully more ups than downs. You are doing great. Keep up the good work Laura and Grant. Thanks for everything. The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.

[@ronaldschmidt4748]

Glad you got your pivots started. Thanks for the kitten update. Take Care and Be safe on the farm. Out

[@paulbadosa108]

A few diagnostic steps to help determine what's causing the repeated failure would save you a lot of time and money down the road. It may not just be low quality parts as that's an extremely common set of aftermarket parts. The first distributor rotor center tab was bent down away, which caused it to melt. As many have replied, resistance in the secondary ignition is damaging the coil in the distributor. The spark plugs may have too large of a gap. Since natural gas burns clean, spark plugs may be colder and not foul out. The plug wires may be weathered and arcing to ground, WD-40 is a good to spray on wires and in cap to see if it runs smoother or you can go at night in the dark with a spray bottle of water and mist the wires and look for a light show of sparks arcing. Another thing in many aftermarket distributors not mentioned is the phasing of the rotor to the cap, the relationship of where the rotor is pointed to the terminal on the cap when the stator and the pick up coil trigger the coil to fire, if not lined up and firing between the terminals will cause poor running and high resistance. A basic timing light is a good investment, set at lowest idle, if it bucks like it was it is too far advanced. A vacuum gauge can be used also for rough setting, at idle, turn to highest manifold vacuum then reduce 2 inches of vacuum. A good quality cap & rotor with brass contacts will increase longevity, MSD, Accel, NAPA or Standard all have these available for a GM HEI system that your distributor is operating. Make sure the distributor has a good 14 volts when running to operate most efficiently. The control modules can go bad also, changing whole distributors should have made a change in operation. The higher performance the ignition the more maintenance that is required. Maybe going back to a old school points ignition is all that is required for this application, even if it operates a MSD 5 box. A marine system is also a possible option. A good awning, open shed would be great idea for protection of ignition system, alternator and exhaust from water and sun exposure. As a last resort, since you have natural gas, find a small 4 cylinder diesel engine and adapt it to pump, no ignition distributor problems. Just some thoughts to consider. Thanks for the sharing these parts of your life, and showing the hard work and dedication farmers put in!

[@jarrsong]

Grant, all you need is the cap and rotor. Get a good one from Accel with copper connections. The coil on top can be moved to the new cap. Easy peasy. The distributor itself and module will probably last forever in this application. In this case, your carburetor seems to having issues on the idle circuit since it runs fine off idle. Also the cap and rotors probably should be replaced every couple years as regular maintenance depending on the hours. Also get a timing light for setting the timing instead of just moving the distributor around. Pick an application, say a 1985 Chevy Pickup and set the timing to that. I can tell at the end of the video when you are trying to crank it that your timing is too far advanced.

[@mikemoloney6448]

Thanks for the information session on corn maturity and grant shows a great acumen for motors and mechanical arts in general

[@jimmyhenderson2860]

When i was farming a long while back we had a hand clutch to be able to start the motor without the pump running. Worked great for working on the motors too.

[@scallums]

Since the engine is running out in the open and not protected from the weather, you can find Marine grade HEI distributors (complete) for under $200 anywhere - Amazon to Napa. From what I see you're burning the contactor from the coil to the rotor due to your timing being off... You have the vacuum advance disconnected (vacuum hose from intake manifold to distributor)...As your rpm changes due to acceleration or engine load the manifold vacuum changes and the vacuum advance changes distributor timing to maintain air fuel balance with engine torque... Will it run without it ....YES , but then you should think about buying caps and rotors in bulk....

[@danielrobey1759]

Any hei style distributor that can be had for $200 is going to be junk. It'd be interesting to know what rpm they set the engine at, running the vaccum advance could help with fuel consumption but since it runs at a steady rpm I can understand why they don't bother with it...

[@joefudd]

The rain water and condensation getting inside is corroding the metal contacts, causes conductive streaks, carbon tracks/short circuits which causes arcing across and then this higher current arcing causes heat and then melts the plastic. No way does the timing being off cause this. Since this engine runs at a constant RPM and load, no vaccum advance is even needed. Mechanical advance (springs counterweights) is all that is needed to ease the starting and eliminate kickback and then raise the timing for the higher RPM for efficiency. Cammed up racing engines usually have their mechanical advance mechanism welded to static and use no vaccum advance at all.

[@MrCrazycook8]

Each year, Nebraska farmers produce well over one billion bushels of high-quality corn. Nebraska is the nation’s third largest corn producer, behind only Iowa and Illinois.

[@taddscoins1130]

Shed in the engines to keep them out of the sun and the weather. Keep them dry and sun free and your repairs will go down and less parts damage.

[@oldtimefarmboy617]

A mobile gas powered air compressor is a valuable tool. With pressurized air and a blow gun with an extended nozzle you can easily blow surfaces clean of all the lose debris and caked on crud before you start removing parts. The is also a problem that a lot of people do not know about. If the coil is compromised and is not putting out a very strong spark, the flow of air in the cylinders as they are in the compression stroke can literally blow the spark out before it can ignite the fuel. Also, for engines left out exposed to the elements, when it rains it can mess up the electronics for the ignition outside and inside the distributor cap. If you get a tube of dielectric grease and put a generous amount on all of the electrical connections inside and outside the cap and the coil and put a bead of dielectric grease where the cap and the distributor base come together you can seal out water and prevent any corrosion and tarnish or dirt buildup on all of the connections.

My dad worked for our local Farm Bureau Co-op. He was the county maintenance man. He found the top grade Standard brand or the best grade NAPA ignition parts both had brass posts in the cap. He found this when keeping the spray and fertilizer trucks running. They would eat the lower grade parts due to heat under the hoods. I've seen the exhaust manifolds glowing red by the end of the day.

[@JetScreamer24]

While dealing with those problems are time consuming and running pivots can be a pain, be thankful you don't have to irrigate with gated pipe. While we never farmed the acres y'all do, laying out pipe, putting it together, setting gates, and watching the end of the rows for the water to come thru, was extremely time consuming. And back when I was a little kid, we used a ditch and tubes to irrigate. The best part of that was getting in the ditch when it was full of nice cold well water. Nothing better!

[@jameslmorehead]

You should cover those moors with some sort of rain protection. Also, swap out the ignition system for a distributor less ignition. No cap to go bad, and one bad cylinder will not drag the others down.

[@natopeacekeeper97]

For non-farmers, you normally only see them working when they are discing, planting, harvesting, etc. You never see all the work that goes on like Grant fixing the area in the field for the combine to cross, or working on pivots. Always great to see a couple working together.

[@davidgates3775]

Bad wires will cause problems with the distributor cap as the high energy ignition charge seeks somewhere to go if the wires are bad and it will flow through the wrong place in the cap. An orange looking deposit in the cap is indicative of too much resistance in the plug wires. Of course the module in the bottom of the distributor can also be a problem.

[@greggmccleary1440]

Summit racing or Jegg’s for this caps, they are a standard distributor with the coil in the cap…

[@howardedwards5908]

A trick you can do to help with the distributor if you make a cover to protect it from the direct sunlight they will last longer the sunlight drys the plastic out a lot quicker then if it was covered

[@johnabriggs6044]

as for your issues with engine electrics keeping it Dry while running help as even marine engines need to be dry to run best. Adding some type of plastic cover over the distributor would help as the temperature changing underwater running over it when hot, will break the cap and the electronics inside them. The other choice may be marine electrical caps for the gas motors. I have seen the Leead Farms has several pivots with roofs on them. Any choice will have some cost

Noticed that there is not a vacuum advance tube connected to the timing advance actuator on the distributor. This is what adjusts the timing to compensate for engine load, and can explain why it was running poorly when transitioning from idle to higher rpms.

I really don't know much about pivots however a long running engine takes more maintenance than just adding oil and gas.

You can also eat field corn just like you eat sweet corn, boiled or roasted and slathered with butter and salt. Although roasting ears are not sweet and are sometimes less tender, some people actually prefer the flavor of field corn. If you pay close attention to your corn, you will see the silk start to turn brown. Two or three days after that, the field corn is perfect for eating. If you leave the ears on the stalk too long, the corn will be tough and flavorless.

Handcrank on the windows in the pickup gets me every time. 😂 Just the fact it's exposed to the weather, not just moisture. But the sun beats down on it. A engine under a hood gets hot. But, the sun roasting it with UV rays isn't good for the cap housings

Timing chain, or gas diaphragm in the regulator. You can help the fuel by spraying carb cleaner in the airbox as you try to raise RPM. If it runs better with a richer air/fuel mix, then it is fuel starvation.

The answer is pretty obvious,it almost never rains in Nebraska and when it does it floods and runs right off.

Water moisture is what really does your distributor caps and well all ignition parts in ruins them that carbon button that was gone on that particular cap you showed really is affected by moisture if you would have them roofs on top of them like that diesel one you showed that would really help a lot but being they pump water and all the moisture around them I would even seal the distributor up to help protect them but definitely a roof would make a big difference even the sun does your plug wires in cracks them up

Can't you separate the coil pack from the cap and just get a cap?
