fc vert won't start after sitting 2 weeks
subject says it all........it sat outside for 2 weeks now it won't start. I tried pulling the egi fuse and cranking it while holding the accelerator down to unflood it. Then put back egi fuse and started normally but still wouldn't. It would just keep cranking. ANy ideas? Car ran fine before.
I recommend quirting no less than three squirts (using a transmission oil filling pump) of automatic transmission fluid in each top spark plug hole after blowing out all the old air / fuel, reinstall the plugs, egi fuse, and wires, and crank it while holding the gas pedal down 1/4 of the way.
When I rebuilt my engine, I had a heck of a time getting it going at first. I unflooded the **** out of it over and over again, and tried a little auto trans. fluid but it wouldn't kick until I used _at least_ three ounces of fluid per chamber and wasn't afraid to hold in some gas pedal while cranking.
