They hate getting the engine wet....

Ummmm... does it turn over? Mine would run rough after an engine wash, or even going through a deep puddle but whatever moisture was there would soon burn off on its own. Never needed to take anything apart or clean specific components.

Could you have replaced something the wrong way when drying it out?
