Default Woes me...

I have a 99 warrior and before I washed it the a few weeks ago it always started no problem.

I thought I was far enough back with the pressure washer and avoided what looked like the electrical components but it did get wet. Since then I have had trouble starting it and it turns over slowly. Once it starts it runs like it always did, also, when pull starting it with my truck it fires up right away. I'm stumped.

Should also have mentioned that immediately after washing I tried starting and it wouldn't fire up. 3 hours later it did like normal but I have had this problem ever since, could I have fried something when trying to start with wet electrical?

What did I do and what should I try to fix?

Thanks

Since it runs fine, but turns over slowly, I would guess that there is a problem with the starter, or proper amps getting to the starter.
