Just because it happens to someone else doesn't mean it can happen to me.

We have had so much rain in NC. After a rain and kind of hard starting and poor running for 5 minutes I knew it had to be water getting to the distributor. I'll come home and forget about until the next rain and start up, almost daily for a while. While washing the car I remembered to check the rubber. Mold, mildew and stuck on leaves and leaves behind the rubber.

Removed the leaves and a good scrubbing with a dish brush cleaned up the mold. Easy after rain start ups.

The rubber needs a wipe of silicone or Teflon spray.
