John:

I still think it is condensation but look for any gasket or mating surface
on the block that could allow rain/moisture in. If it truly is allowing
moisture in, other than condensation, throwing a good tarp over the tractor
for a test might be useful. How about where the distributor/magneto enters
the block?

Well, I'll take a closer look.  But don't see how air cleaner water could 
get in through an updraft carb.   I'm skeptical about that much 
condensation since I haven't noticed water in any of my other old 
tractors.    John
