Discussion:
Distributor cap smoking

So I did a job for a client and they gave me a Mobilift SA30 really old lift. So I charged up the battery and well it started and ran great but then I parked it outside for a few days and it had rained. So now I went to charge the battery up and it started smoking from the distributor cap quite bad, so I'm a builder not a mechanic and I don't know what needs fixed or replaced to get the darn thing moving again and off site. Thanks
