    I have a 1982 Honda cb900 custom and yesterday I gave it a good washing, and since then it won't run and will only idle when I keep the choke on fully. Did I get water in the gas tank or somewhere else? and if I did will it dry onit's own or do I need to do something special to correct the problem? Please help cause I know very little about these things....:confused:

    you might have got the air cleaners wet & sucked some water in the carbs ,or plug wires got wet in on top of plugs , if she was running good before you washed it , it will run good after drying out
