Moisture under the cap will cause all kinds of havoc after a few minutes
running. The moisture atomizes and shorts things out. The coil or tower
wire could be failing. The Petronix module could be failing. The resistor
wire doesn't matter since there are no points. In fact it should be
bypassed. The ignition switch could be going bad. Run a jumper from the
battery to the coil to see weather the problem is 12 volts or high
voltage. Make sure you have a good water separation filter in the gas
line so that the carb doesn't glop up again. This should be a cheap fix,
even if you buy all of the parts I mentioned.

You just earned yourself a Miller. Good advice.
