I think I may have inadvertantly flooded my car yesterday after installing a new fuel pump.
I've let it set overnight without tinkering with it and am hoping it will start today. Is 16 hours enough time for the fuel to dissipate )sp? If it is flooded, what's the best way to get it started? /6 with carbs btw.... |
