Ive put new gas in it, new spark plugs, cleaned my carbs, and air filter, un plugged tors. And whouldnt the connectors be dry by now, i washed it two or three weeks ago. i am sure i didnt spray any water down the silencers im not that dumb. i replaced the stator like 3 months ago, because of a spittin and sputterin problem and that fixed it and it ran like a champ.
