There's a filter capacitor mounted in the body of the distributor accessible
by removing the four screws which retain the threaded fitting you screw the
24V feed line to. I've had a few problems with those on the M151. If you
take it out (make sure you disconnect the wiring under the cap too), take a
look at the point where the wire solders on to the back of the filter
capacitor itself. I've had lots rot right there, resulting in no
connection/intermittent connection/high resistance connection.
