There is other stuff,but it was running,so if the cap is dry,MAYBE the condenser in the distributor is no good,MAYBE the coil is no good.A way to check a coil is if its hot,right after the motor dies,its bad,or maybe hooked up wrong. While motors can and do break stuff and get out of time,its more likely that its water in the carb,that maybe you can drain out,or its moisture inside the cap(pushing snow,front mount distributor,fan blowing moisture around maybe?)or moisture out side the cap(you can spray WD 40 on it and it will displace the water,but you still need to wipe it off somehow with a rag or paper towel,and it can look ok and still be wet the water gets up under the boots on the wires on the cap and shorts them out)and you can spray WD 40 inside the cap,or ether,but let it air out good,cause ether can explode.You could take the cap off and inside and see if it runs after you get it good and dry. You can take out number 1 spark plug,turn the motor with a wrench untill number 1 piston is all the way up,and the rotor should be pointing to number 1 on the cap,or halfway out,EITHER way tells you that its probly not out of time. Water or snow being blown around by the fan could have shorted out your ignition switch,the switch may be bad.The water could have shorted out a wire(possibly going to the voltage regulator or coil that grounded it out). My best guess is that your carburetor is full of water,and that its enough that it killed the motor,but you dont necessarily see any water because most of it is in the carburetor. I could be wrong,but its well worth your time to drain whats in the carb and se if it fixes it.
