Easier than I expected
My first flood I thought this was supposed to be a big deal? I just got back from a week of vacation in Sarasota Florida, went to start my car and it just kept turning over it would kick every once in a while. It took a second for it to click in it was flooded. I pushed the gas pedal to the floor and continued to turn it over until it stopped firing, then stopped for 15seconds and tired again and 10seconds of it turning over it started to fire and kick within 25 seconds it was up and running and tons of smoke reved it up a bit took it for a drive once it was warmed up redlined it once or twice and all’s well.
