There's a history with cars that when they get water on the dizzy and / or the coil, they just can't pump a spark until its dry again.
I've heard some folks like to leave their motor running when cleaning the engine and some others cover those items as mentioned above with a plastic bag so that they remain dry throughout the cleaning.

Perhaps a wire or hose has been knocked loose?
