Hi this is my first post. I had a hose blow coolant all over the motor the other day (having a few coolant related problems atm) I changed the hose, filled up the coolant but because there was coolant still on the tranny and such I got out the garden hose and sprayed everything down real good. There was a little steam hitting the header and such but not much. It stalled and when I went to start it back up maybe its my imagination but I thought I saw more steam then normal and smelt a little electrical type smoke. It turns over no problem the battery is strong but nothing. I left it 10 hrs and still nothing. I sprayed most of my electrical connections down with wd40 to pull the water out of them. I am at a loss. If I wake up and its still like that I may have to tow it. any ideas or suggestions. thank you very much for your help

ur welcome, and usually the caps have a gasket inbetween the dizzy and the cap, to prevent water from going inside, if no gasket that = resulting ur issue to happen.
