Re: Flooded engine

If you flood any engine. Make sure the choke is open or primer system is off. Open throttle plates WOT by hand and crank engine in short bursts. If it doesn't fire, remove the spark plugs and air it out. You usually don't have to remove the plugs unless its really really flooded. Find out why it flooded in the first place. Usually there is another problem, like a bad ignition or stuck open float valve that got you flooded in the first place. Its hard to flood an engine that starts quickly.
