HELP!!! I think I super flooded my engine, left it to sit lastnight... and now it wont turn over...(it turns a little, but then stops like somthings stuck inside...) What could it be and what can I do about it?
Thanks
Tim

 

Take the hose that connects to the intake off and spray WD-40 in it while your cranking it. That worked for me the one time i did what you did.

 

ummm why not turn the engine by hand and see what happens? Pour some MMO in the spark plug holes and see if that helps at all...

 

I can't imagine flooding an engine to the point where it locks. Not saying it can't be done, I've just never seen it. Maybe you've got a broken apex seal hanging up in a port. Try turning the motor backwards and see what happens.

 

Inother words, im more than likely SCREWED


(edit)
WAIT, your going to laugh.... IM THE BIGGEST RETARD OF ALL!!!!
This I think will beat all "stupidity" Stories....
It was in gear and EBrake was on.....
LMAO!!!!
guess i been doing to much and smoking to think about it...

thanks anyway Guys(i thought i was screwed, having to rebuild and ****)Im Super afraid of doing that... I heard 3 distinct farts from the Spark Holes on both rotors so compression should be good...
but i do know lastnight it wouldnt fire... it would buck but wouldnt fire up...
The spark plugs were black and wet...

Maby now i can figure out whats up... btw, I hate EFI and i dont like Carbs so far ether...

 

Well, MAYBE.
If it's actually locked due to being full of liquid (fuel), why not just take out the spark plugs and let it air out?

 

LOL, that was good for a Saturday morning laugh! Glad you got her figured out.

 

well, sorta, i still gota find out why she wont start... i think she was just flooded... the sparkplugs were really wet and oil covered... How do you DeFowl the plugs?

Would alota 2cycle oil cause that? I dont know if i premixed correctly

 

I agree. I'll say one thing though...if I ever did something like that I don't think I'd be telling everyone on this forum about it. But it WAS a good laugh!!!

 

i always use a small propane torch. gently put them in a vice and heat the electrodes with the torch. that ussually burns off all of the deposits and leaves them looking new.


you want to hear another funnt saturday morning story? i just realized today that i locked the keys in 85 -se. i was doing some work on the engine today and needed inside the car, went in the house to grab the keys,walked back to the car and realised that last weekend when i locked the doors that i had grabed the wrong keys from inside,looked on the seat and there they were. i had to swap the steering column so the keys dont match now. and now i have to figure out how to get insde the damn car

 

lol that sucks... maby if you Call Mazda they can send you a key to get in(thats all the locksmiths do) i lost a starter key and mazda made me one for $20

 

Sounds like a job for a Slim Jim, tho they're not sold around here, you gotta make your own, but I suspect an aluminum beer can and a pair of snips will do the job. I make dupe keys for all my cars, and I always plant one extra on the car in a magnet box. yeah, I know that could make it easier for a thief, but i figure most locks are just to keep little kids and minor vandals out. A determined thief can screwdriver the doorlock and slidehammer the ignition and be gone in 30 seconds.

thanks for the info guys
i feel like a total tard now too. i found the door key to the car, i dont really even want to say where i found it. and after the way this week has been going i knew with my luck the keys on the seat were the door keys.
i ussually have back-up keys also but i havent gotten around to making a set for this car because i havent even got it running yet.

 

You buy new ones. At least, that's how I do it.

 

JOIN THE CROWD!!!

maby someone should make a post and sticky it for people that do dumb things and can post about it... so that others can laugh at you and you can laugh at them... the "Why I'm A Retard" Post...
ROFL... well i got one more thing to add though... i broke my Ignition Switch and it was the only one around here(boneyard) SA22's Are not plentiful enough...

 

LOL, I spent one day fixing the sunroof ****, only to lock the key inside the car that night. I only got one key with the car, and I kept it on a seperate key ring.
Spent the next day re-fixing the sunroof ****, cause I broke in thru the sunroof, and went to get another key made. I keep one key on each ring, that way I cannot lock myself out again. Well, it would take extra effort.............

 

If you had an SA you could get in through the taillight.
