Rotary Resurrection has maaaany useful links.

this is just to find out the condition of your engine. my coolant seals went out and thats what caused my "flooding problem" and "poor fuel quality" issues. so if these tests come out with positive results then proceed to the next basic things such as air, fire, and fuel. make sure the engine is getting all three of those and just go from there.

good luck with all this.
