My Vespa SmallFrame is still running off 6V, and it’s just for pleasure so I don’t want to change it to the more reliable 12V. When ever the smallest bit of water falls it doesn’t like to run, and been told it’s because of the coil getting wet! I’m just seeing if anyone had any tips to help avoid this, other then getting it converted? I’ve been told by some people covering the coil with rubber cloves helps. Is there a more reliable coil to get, that’s maybe better protected or is it just one of them things?
Sorry if this is a really obvious question! I’m new to this!

What system do you have right now? Stock points coil mounted on the engine cases? Stock electronic on the cases? Or in the side panel?

consider going electronic and fit the cdi inside the frame
but first check the insulation on all the wires is in good condition and fit covers on all the connections. a little vaseline smeared over the coil connections may also help
is the connection on the cut out switch in good condition and no stray bits of wire in that area
