	Sounds like an electrical problem. You are probably getting
	moisture in your distributor cap. You may want to get a new set
	of plug wires and a new distributor cap.

	Second thing to check is that the automatic choke is functioning
	properly. If this were the cause I would expect the symptoms to
	occur on any cold day (not just wet ones).
