Water in the carb is definitely a possibility, especially since it was running before the car wash. But it was running after the carwash too! So...

A motor can actually run with a discharged battery, no problem, as long as the battery isn't shorted inside, grounding out the system (doesn't sound like it here). Spark actually comes from the Coil with power and trigger from the stator through the CDI.

It would be good to get a reading on the charging system if it decides to start again. You may need an extra pair of hands, but get a voltmeter on that battery when it is running... 13V, 14V??? This would help rule out the reg/rec/stator.

If that checks out, did you install the new coil?
