same here, i always tried it once or twice and gave up...took me a week to finally put my foot down and try it like 5 times in a row....but it payed off =)

 

If it's BADLY flooded, then the best way is a push start. Works everytime.

If a few rounds with the oil/ATF doesn't do it, then I generally move on to pushing.

BTW, for the small amount ATF stays in your engine during unflooding, it does nothing to clean carbon and may actually do damage by loosening chunks of carbon...

 

push start is the way to go, work every time for me as well.

 

thanks man i used oil to unflood it then i let it ran for 20 or so minutes then killed it and installed my new plugs now all i gotta do is get my rigid clutchline and im all set thanks again. btw i have a small video of it running if anyone is interested then ill post it, if not i wont even try.

 

Could you describe the process of putting the oil in to unflood your engine. I have the same problem with my car not starting and I want to try this.

Thanks

I tried push starting my car today because I was having the same symptoms of being flooding. It would still not turn over and blue smoke would come from the tailpipes.
Anyone have any ideas?

 

How fast should I be going when I try and push start it?
