It should start after the ignition system dries out. Next time you wash the engine, leave it running and it should be fine.

- About 3 or 4 hours, hopefully less. How warm is the air temp?

Mar 28, 2009

- How long has it been since you washed it?

Mar 28, 2009

- Have you tried holding the accelerator all the way down?

Mar 28, 2009

- Did it work?

Mar 28, 2009

- Does it cough and sput or just crank and not fire?

Mar 28, 2009

- The only thing I can tell you is to let is sit for a while longer. Sorry, but it will dry out.

Mar 28, 2009

- No. not as long as you don't crank it long enough to run the battery dead.
