As above, coevred alternator and air intake with plastic bags and cleaned the engine. left it an hour or so to dry off and now it wont start.
whats more worrying is when i tries to start it the exhaust made a bang like a cannon.
now its just turning over. any suggestions.
and yes i have done this before with no problems.
