Damp sometimes do's this buy some wd40 and spray it over the ht leads then turn it over if that fails try looking to see if it has a spark when you turn it over this means take a plug lead off (just one) remove the plug put it back into the lead leave it ontop of the engine get someone to turn the engine over look for a spark if no spark prob may be the coil
