This should be in workshop, anyway sometimes they get a bit upset after they have been on their sides so just keep trying. It'll catch eventually. ____________________ My Flickr |

Don't do this with the killswitch on as you risk it firing and maxxing revs on a possibly cold engine.

Wouldn't you just be filling the cylinder with more fuel? I always thought you took the plug out, kicked it over a few times and let it stand with the plug out fo a few minutes. Isn't it the plug getting wet and failing to spark that causes the problems? |
No, turning it over without firing does not cause enough vacuum to raise the carb diaphragm. Only enough fuel to idle, from the idle jet, will get into the cylinder and that is a very small amount compared to the amount required to flood the engine.

Ah right, interesting. Most of my flooding episodes have been with 2 strokes - forgot about Vacuum carbs.  |
