That's a great point about using grease. I know a couple guys who also had (older) Pantah engines where the spark plug boot on the front cylinder had water pooling which kept it from firing. It can catch a lot of spray since it's right behind the front wheel. Another good place for grease.

another thing is that water likes to collect in the rubber boot from the connection from battery cable to the starter. this, on top of electricity causes things to corrode very quickly leading to difficult starts. replace cables, threaded fasteners, and fill boot with dielectric grease to keep water out.[/QUOTE]
