I think there is some water in my honda's carb. How bad can this effect the car?? Think just some carb cleaner spray will do the trick? [Frown]

As long as its not in the engine oil it will be fine....If its just a little, you probably burnt up the water after you started it....

DONT start the car if you think it has a lot of water in the cylinders!!!!....Water does not compress!...

Shiit. Well I started it and it bogged bogged bogged at like 200rpms so I floored it to red line for a couple seconds and then it died. Then I started it up again and it idled at 900 rpms where it usually does? Does that mean maybe there wasn't to much water in there?

no because if there was a lot of water, the car wouldn't have startes. If there was only a little bit then it was burned when you started and ran it.

Yeah beater is almost an understatment! LOL... 205,550 mile 86 accord dx. There is ZERO power in this little bitch. I have a test pipe in place of the cat. and I think water got into the carb because I have the air box lid flipped upside down for that extra .0005 hp

So far so good it started right up again today. I thinks its alight. I sprayed a half can of carb cleaner in there while my little brother held the throttle at 4000rpms. [Big Grin]
