I have a 90 cherokee inline 6 with 250 000km. I bought this vehicle used a few years ago to pull my boat and small trailer. I don't drive it often but when I do it is hard to start. It cranks for quite awhile before it finally starts. Once running there are no problems. One day I washed the engin and must have got some water in the Distributer cap as it would not start after. I let it sit for 6 hours and tried again. It started as soon as I turned the key. (scared the piss out of me as I was not ready for it.) It did this one other time and then went back to the normal taking a while to start.

Problem is recently it seems to be taking even longer and I am afraid that one day when I am out fishing in the bush it won't start.

Any Ideas or suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
