2. smoke from the drain hole, thats mousture so water is getting into the plugs. if water is getting into the plugs it will trap itself under the plug cap causing arching and eventually break down the plug insulation.

Hmm...good shout. the switches could be a culprit also as I did initially think it could have been the clutch switch..didn’t think of the stand one. Is there any way of telling without replacing?...will check these once I’ve run through the hydrolock symptom checklist. The petrol smell from the oil gasket is a strong indicator that that is the problem though I reckon
