i rather it have flooded, then have to replace a fuel pump, good advice greg, will check spark plug, when i get home tonight

but after the last time I cranked I smelt a fuel around teh 8, so I think its flooded.

 

well of course you'd rather it be flooded than need something expensive like that. im just saying you dont want to be cranking the living daylights out of your starter for days on end with the assumption its flooded when it could be something else. good luck, and like i said if you need a hand im almost certain i have the afternoon off tomorrow i can drive out and help you if need be, just PM me if thats the case.

 

Both times I've flooded mine after taking it out of storage, I've got it going by hooking up a jumper vehicle and cranking the car for 6-8 second intervals with my foot floored on the accelerator for about 8 times consecutively, on the 8th try lift partway through the crank and it comes to life
If it doesn't start dont continue to crank with your foot off the accelerator, resume the foot floored(dry cranks), for another 8 times until you have success and it starts.
After its running dont release the clutch or give it gas, as it will liekly stall, just let it warm up and let the smokeshow begin

 

Thx for the input guys, tommorrow is supposed to be really warm, gonna wake up early and pull the plugs to see if it is flooded. Will keep you posted, thx for the offer greg, but I sadly have work in the afternoon.

 

i got the wheel off, plug wires off, f'in plugs are stuck, gotta go pick up a socket set.

 

Get a good long breaker bar... you'll thank yourself for it.

 

do i have to get off all the plugs? i got the leadings ones off. After I get them off, do i just crank the engine, with the plugs removed? and put the plugs back in and then start it up?

 

Use some anti-seize on the threads, this time.

It's a fine line between 'they're stiff' and 'they're seized solid'

Yes, just the leading out should be okay......

S

 

so i got three plugs, out, one trailiing left, so can I leave that in there.

So do I just rehook the battery, crank to dispel the gas in the engine, i assume i want the plug wire unconnected to the spark plug that lefts in there

 

^ yep that's right.

How do your plugs look?

 

could look better.lol

 

Might not be a bad idea to swap em then

 

so how many times shoudl i crank? i cranked three intervals, around 5 sec

 

Once fuel stops spewing out, you can stop.

 

thx

 

i just got white smoke coming out it now, i plugged the plugs back in and wires, reconnected battery, still no go,

WTF

so is there more fuel in the engine?

 

How bad were those plugs really?

Either more fuel or dead plugs..

 

what the hell is the white smoke coming out of the engine, i dont wanna crank too much and kill my engine

 

how do u tell if you have too much fuel still in there? does it spray out as a liquid, or fumes?

 

lol, tried calling greg at work, hes working on a car, greg need help

 

Spews out liquid as it's not ignited. Did you pull the fuel relay while cranking?

Show us the plugs if you can.

 

uploading pics now

 

Pics, I believe my leading are new, below ar epics of both trailing and one leading

 

Gonna upload macro shots

 

lol fix your focus

from the looks of the ones in the background they look black
