Check the starter or the wires running to the starter.

Hmmm that can't be good. I am pretty clueless on electrical and fuel systems.

Try spraying all of your wiring harness's, connections, and electrical parts with WD40, it will displace any moisture that is still hanging around.

When you get enough moisture into wiring and electrical parts it can cause small shorts (snap crackle and pops, and no not rice crispies) all over your body and frame.. the water acting as the conductor allowing power to move outside its normal mode of travel (wires).
