old skool is on a distinguished road
washed my bike and now she won't run over idle?

yeah so i figure i'll wash my scoot for the first time today since i put the new paint on, washed it up, dryied it as usual with a leaf blower. started it up to go run some errands and she fired fine, idled with the choke out fine, and idled with the choke in fine, when i went to give it some throttle it just cut out?



i checked my plugs and they look OK



i took off the stack so i could see if my carb was gettin fuel when i opened up the throttle and that was OK



kinda at a loss? i got fuel in the tank, carb is gettin fuel, got the right amount of oil in her.



this is the first time i have washed her but i have been riddin her with no problems, now this.




I got a velocity stack with a filter, i put a waterproof sock on before i washed and i have had issues in the past with water getting in the carb when i didn't put that on butttttt it always fired up in a couple a mins. this time i get nothing.



any ideas? thanks
