My Speedfight 2 won't start, esp in damp/wet conditions?

My Speedfight 2 50cc (52 Reg) won't spark up in damp/wet conditions and now won't start at all. Any ideas?? Is it the coil?? Is it the immobilizer.... I have been told the immobilizer has this sort of problem, but at over £100 to fix, I am hoping this isn't the case?

Any ideas?

my speedfight was 4 years old and had 1500km on the clock when i bought and it wouldnt start on the first day as i left it ouytside, but if you keep it inside a warm house or garage it might help, i know this soungds stupid, but try putting the hairdryer on the motor and cylinder that is what does mine, email me for more info cracker7295@hotmail.com

I have the Workshop Manual for that bike, It includes loads of fault finding help, Pictures, Part lists & wiring diagrams etc. If you would like a copy email me @ slippery.steve@ntlworld.com

Or look at my small guide I posted @ http://www.howtomendit.com/answers.php?id=143363

Best of luck!

no spark when damp usually means the spark is going somewhwer else.try starting at night in as dark as possible,look and listen for the spark jumping u may see blue flashes from the coil ,lead,or plug cap jumping to the engine.anyway renew the plug and plug cap,cheapest starting point
