Default 1994 Fatboy.....NEED HELP

Ok so I got my bike out of the garage fired it up and rode down to the car wash and did a quick spray down as always careful not to get the electronics or air filter wet, like I have done a hundred other times. My bike is now back firing out of the carb and pipes and it sounds like my carb is trying really hard to suck air....I am lost! I took plugs and wires off checked the coil for moisture. I have no clue what is going on. PLEASE HELP. Also I am running Autolite 64 plugs, XXX plug wires, and a Vodoo coil.

Get a hair dryer and dry out your fuse box, remove each fuse one at a time, dry the socket & coat the fuse prongs with dielectric grease and re-install. Then dry the handlebar switches and ignition switch.

Could also be bad wires if you dry the bike off and it runs fine try spraying plug wires and see if it affects it
