carb screen fell off and starting running weird. Water in bad spots?

[fapslap]

Newbie to PWC. Been out 3 times and getting better. I fall off alot. maybe 15 times this morning. Ski still ran but was taking more throttle to be happy.
I pulled it from the water and noticed the cover/screen fell off one of the carbs. Im assuming water was going into the carb. the thing still ran and will start and seems like its okay. is there a carb drain on anyting i should do?

thanks in advance. guys on this site are full of good knowledge!

Carb screen is a restriction. It coming off will change the fueling of that carb some. The screen doesn't block any water just large objects like loose bolts from getting in the engine.

you’re good buddy, just a hot motor that you’re noticing! Screens really don’t prevent water ingestion and the stock covers keep water out better than most aftermarket air cleaners.
