Question about flooding
I was wondering if it is possible for your engine to get so flooded it wont even crank over.

Can you spin the engine over with a breaker bar?

i'm sure its possible, but it would pretty much need to be completely full of fuel to do it. i tested my fuel pump, and after it was done i just poured the 500ml of gas down the carb, and it had no trouble cranking.

I got it running and let it run for a while so it didn't flood, and damn that's a lot of fuel.
