If it's really flooded then pull the fuel pump fuse, take out the spark plugs and crank it over for 30 seconds, keep the plug wires away from the fuel coming out the plug holes. Put it back together and start it up. To make it easy just wire in an on/off switch on the fuel pump wires, turn the pump off, crank until it starts, turn the pump back on.

Or WAAAAY easier. Dump a few ounces of seafoam down the primaries in the carb and crank it over.

Alarming smoke is normal. and it works, did it a few weeks ago.

The Seafoam procedure is much easier than any other deflooding method that you will find. In fact, in my opinion all of the other methods should be deleted from the forum because some of them could (arguably) cause damage to your seals, specifically the use of auto tranny fluid.

With the Seafoam, you don't even need to pull the plugs out. The Seafoam will actually clean the crap off of your plugs as it defloods the motor. When I've had to do this, the engine will almost always run substantially better after deflooding than it did before it flooded. Seafoam does a rotary good.

I just had to this Sunday before the meet I put the car away after washing it before it warmed up. How stoopid is that?

Anyway, pull the leading plugs only. Hit them with brake cleaner. Set them aside.

Disconnect the lead on the leading coil so there no spark around.

Now crank the engine for just a second or two. No need to mess with the fuel pump it should clear out the excess fuel.

Wait for plugs to look dry. Put them back in. Hook the coil lead back up. Start it up.

I've been doing it this way for years and it always works.

But the Seafoam method is sooooo much easier. You should try it the next time you have a brain fart and flood your motor. I had to do this about a dozen times on my old worn out motor, and a couple of times on my new one. Works like a charm every single time.
