I am flooded. It has been sitting for a few months. I have been starting it and letting it run a bit then shutting her down. I probably shut her down too soon last time. I can not make out the pictures on the unflood procedure. Do I pull the 30A fuse closest to the inside of engine? The pictures on the RP website are not working so I can not tell for sure?

Thanks

 

The green one.You may have to inject oil into the chambers though.

 

I had no problems with pulling the top two (red and green)

EGT Fuse

 

Yes, the first is a 30A (RED) and the next is 40A (GREEN). I think she is almost there, I just did not want to pull a wrong fuse and screw it up worse.

 

If its REALLLY flodded, i would try pushstarting it. This usually works. If not, ATF probably.

 

I've tried it about 5 or 6 times and she is almost starting. I will try a few more time then I am done for today.

 

Are you holding the gas pedal to the floor while cranking? If you aren't it'll take much longer to unflood. You have to clear the excess fuel out by pumping air through the engine.

 

Yes, I was holding it to the floor, but now the battery is getting low. Do I need to recharge it or can I just jump it with jumper cables? It almost turned over a few times, but I was loosing power.

Also, If I leave it flooded for a few more weeks will it get worse?

If I have to move on to more complicated unflooding procedures I need some help. I do not have the time to mess with this car. It is just a project, but it is on hold until July. I just wanted to make sure the engine did not seize in the six months it will be sitting in the garage. If someone with experience with unflooding and lives near Frisco/Plano area wants a few quick bucks let me know. fireman602@comcast.net

Like I said I do not have the time to jack with this car till July. And if leaving it flooded will only do more damage then I need to get it unflooded.
Thanks
