It *does* sound like it's still a water problem .... or the lead may
have become disconnected inside the machine as happened to me with my
15
y.o. ATCO. I took it to the local specialist who fixed it in no time at

very little cost.... a bit of a nuisance but worth the hassle.

Cheers guys that is what i thought. im going to remove the electronic
ignition until this weekend and give it a good dry out.
Prob is that it is located behind the flywheel. Anyone have any ideas how
to removw the flywheel?

The flywheel is normally on a tapered shaft with a key so tapping it gently
around the edge with a wooden or leather mallet should loosen it once you
have loosened the nut (don't take it off or you could damage/break the
flywheel as it hits the ground!) and don't lose the key.
Something else whilst behind the flywheel, the ignition is usually activated
by a pushrod working on a cam and sometimes this pushrod gets stuck (rusted)
in the up position, so make sure it's free and working OK.
