Water makes my RPMs go up, WTF

[POS carb]

Hey when I shoot water on my radiator/condensor (like all over it with a garden hose) my rpms go up like 200 or so, what gives? I'm guessing it has something to do with lowering the pressure inside or something but maybe it's something more serious?

I need a car-on-crack emoticon :stick:

Hmm I wonder if we can figure a way to shoot water on the radiator while driving if that would make us go faster then? Any thoughts?

id bet because youre cooling down the car that the fast idle valve is opening up slightly and giving you a faster idle...

nah I don't have any fast idle or any other Honda voodo on my carb anymore. I wonder if it's the moisture affecting the a/f mixture

was the fan on? Cause mine does that too when it ingests a fine mist of water... must raise the compression or something. and partially cools the air.
