waterproof the dizzy/spark plugs, and probably an electric fan you can switch off when stationary in mud/water

silicone grease is your friend, mollycote have an o ring grease that works well, just pack the ends of your leads and plug them back on the dizzy and plugs, works on electrical conections aswell.
