Water possibly in the engine..?

I have a 02 Blaster (stock) and I’ve had no problems since I bought it 9 days ago, but after washing it 3 days ago, and letting it sit since I had work, It’s been running weird. I took it for a ride, and when i pulled the clutch in to put it into neutral and it stalled, after it stalled, i touched the engine and it was hot to the touch, yet it still took 5 good kicks to get it started, and the idling is very weak unless i rev the engine, and when i add barely any throttle, it shuts down. I took the seat, and the airbox cover off thinking the filter was wet, but it’s dry, but i heard like a…gurgling/sucking sound from the airbox when i took the filter off. It will idle fine for about 3 minutes, then just stall.Also I noticed its smoking A LOT more than usual, so I shook the gas up in the tank, and it still smokes. (My blaster is self mixing and I left the gas on while it was sitting) But I started it up yesterday, and it was running fine. Throttle response was crisp and clean.
