    Your engine should be o.k.,it's your electric's where there might be a problem.,
    Hose all your plastics - after you've washed them?,

    If you're carb./airbox +,are'nt on your 'ped when you ?jetwash can't worry 'bout them can you?,
    Just make sure everythings blocked off properly/sealed against water/moisture.,
    Little prep. goes a long way.mk.

    Was just saying take carb.an airbox off + anything else that may worry you an make sure all holes left
    are properly plugged - then wash it. :) .

    Cling film + rubber bands,
    Plug holes with bog roll or kitchen towels case anything does! seep in /or/ to protect 'gainst condensation if you're
    using a hot/warm jetwash.,
    Pre-cut rubber bungs can be useful as well if you've got nothing to wrap c.film+r.ban around.

    hosed it all off got most of the muck off it just got to wait for some gunk and elbow grease to come
    it get all the rest off .
    I took carb off and sealed up the hoses
    thanks for your help

    also when I look the carb off I looked to see that the jet was in it and it was a 54
    but I thought in speedfight 50
    it comes stand with 72
    anyways took it out and put a 85 in it an now runs a lot better
