I left a H outside last night and we had about 2 inches of rain. Decided to start it up and dry it out. Turned fuel on, pulled ignition switch, and then turned to dump water out of the seat pan. By the time I turned around there was smoke all around the engine. I shut the ignition switch off and the wire to the coil was plenty hot. I don't think the switch was on more than 30-60 seconds. I have accidently left the switch on before and drained the battery, but haven't heated up the wiring like today. I pulled the distributor and replace with a magneto until I can find out what the problem may be. Any Ideas? Thanks-John

Sounds like you had a bad wire on it and it let you know when it got wet. I would replace the wire from the switch to the coil and also look over all the other wires also.

Oh boy!! I get to use the line I have read on previous posts - Never, every let the smoke out of the wires! Sorry, just couldn"t help myself. Sounds like some electrical flow shorting; check for cracked, frayed wiring. My dad"s "37 unstyled AC WC hadn"t been run for about a year and I quickly found out the solenoid button stuck down and heated up the wires, but, I didn"t let the smoke out. When his WC gets the hint of rain, it doesn"t want to start. Good luck.
