- If you try to wash an engine at a car wash with the high power water, you
- should take care to cover the distributor cap, and don't pull the handle(use
- the low pressure mode). Also take a can of WD-40, if you do get the
- distributor cap wet, you can spray it with the WD-40 and it will dry it out.

- Also, I had a friend who was "stuck" at the car wash with his '92 Shadow, he
- used the high power spray and actually disconnected the distributor pickup
- coil. This is definatly something to remember...
