Spark jumping on ignition wires. Where are you at as in location? Do you live in a humid area, have you had lots of rain. How about fog. All of the above can cause condition under the engine cover and moisture on the ignition wires. Try to get it to run long enouge to dry the area and spray with silicone.

This could be one cause. BTW fill out your info please, it might help.
