probably water around the spark plugs -

remove the front coil -
see if the boots/plugs are wet -

oh - and don't do that again -

.............. and the intake valley is probably full of water, too - the starter motor is down in there and the valley is wide open at both ends.

NEVER pressure wash a Northstar.

Rags, brushes, spray bottle, patience, strong back and beerz.

You're very, very, very lucky that you don't have some really expensive water damage in the engine compartment. Cross your fingers.

:yeah: I agree. Pull and dry out the ignition cassettes. (Maybe you might get away with spraying them with WD40)

Pressure washed??? Damn!!! :holycrap: You, Sir, are a very brave man...

I've been cleaning mine with just spraying Purple Power here and there to get the stuff out and still been pretty hesitant to spray even that on some spots. :lol:

But, yeah, hopefully yours will be okay once everything dries up.
