Rutor,

This almost certainly has to do with your coil or coil wires just based on your description of it happening after a rainfall. Since you just replaced the coil, let’s assume that is good. So, I’d suggest buying a new set of plug wires and the wire that goes from the coil to the distributor (if it is separate…sorry i don’t know this engine by heart). Or, the wire that feeds the coil (12VDC) might be shorting out. Best of luck.
