I would resolder the flyback connections on the PCB, I have seen cold solder problems. Try to start there..
Ehh it was a bit damp where I found it, but the inside was nice and dry, plus I let it sit in the house for a bit before I messed with it.

I ***DON'T*** want to run it any more until I can be fairly certain it won't start doing that shit again.
