Paul and Cliff are both wrong I have been a mechanic for 41 years and the circuit connecting the starter motor and spark plugs must be water damaged otherwise your question is beyond me.

Check the low tension wire {thin one} that goes to the starter motor.

sounds like a flat battery or starter trouble
