yup, called a carbon flush. old v8 trick, guys use to dump water right down the carb at about 3/4 throttle (very slowly) this cleans alot of the carbon depositis. On hondas we dont have to much carbon deposites, unless they are really high milage, and it becomes a problem.

how the hell does that work? in theory it would be the same as sucking water through your intake thus causing it to hydrolock

Re:cleaning motor out with water??
I've done it before. My dad has done this forever. A freind said he was full of sheit. they poured water into one side of a dual plane manifold on a v-8 that was going to be torn down anyway. the head and pistons were clean on the water side and filthy on the no water side. Ever blow a head gasket? the piston that is clean is the one that got the water. Make sure engine is WARMED UP. Keep rpms up and slow down or stop the water when engine stumbles or slows down.
