Help plz - Flooded Engine

Hi everyone,

I was wondering how you unflooded your engine, I tried pressing in the gas pedal and cranking it for 15+ secs, but now it seems i'm draining my battery as the engine struggles? would push-starting it work?

Thanks

I'm guessing from your name that you have an FD. If so, you could pull the fuel pump relay and turn the negine over a few times until the extra fuel is cleared.

Pull the fuel pump relay and also remove the airbox to blow the excess gas out.
