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.

snorkel and about 4psi of constant air pressure into the dizzy cap. Silicone the leads.
