Finally got my HK1 running after rebuilding the transmission and carb. Today I took her out for 2-3 hours on a local dirt trail. I was washing it off (covered in mud) while it was running. I shielded the air intake, exhaust, etc. so no water would enter the engine. When I was washing the chunks of mud off the chain, it suddenly killed. After looking, I found there was no spark. My question... did I perhaps kill an electrical component on the stator plate? Would the coil short/kill if it got wet? I tried a new plug/cap, I reset the point gap, and I checked the wiring coming off the stator. Still no luck. I took the tank out and there was some moisture on the coil, so I dont know if that would affect it. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
