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.... |

Anything with carbs we wanted to get as much air in as possable. Throttle wide open. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

QUOTE(So.Cal.914 @ Sep 16 2007, 10:56 AM)  Throttle wide open. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) throttle to the floorboard before you turn the key and keep the foot down while cranking. *no* pedal pumping! it'll take a few seconds, but it will fire ...
