    Should be ok, just don't hit the plugs, dizzy, coil etc.

    I would suggest blowing it all dry afterwords with a compressor or I wouldn't do it.

    Steve I did it to my engine...two of my engines in fact. Just completely cover up the electrical components (as static said^^^) and get some degreaser or carby cleaner....leave it to chew through the dirt then blast away. Then grab a compressor and blow the crap out of the electrical components even if they were covered
