1987 gxl tii swap. Egr, omp and bac deleted. Car needs an alternator so I parked it for a month or so. It seems to be flooding every time I try to start it, or at least soaking the plugs.
So I put fresh plugs in it and tested the spark and it seems to be strong, it has a nice blue arc that will jump pretty far. I noticed the fuel and oil mix that was coming from the plug holes looks way cleaner than when I started working on it and t2 plug didn’t seem to be sparking and the tach wasn’t bouncing but after pulling the egr fuse and deflooding it seemed to be fine.
Vac lines are good. Im thinking there’s stuck seals because I was premixing with regular engine oil.

if the car was running when you parked it, then it probably is not something uber-complicated. since you knew it needed an alternator before you parked it, i will skip telling you to test the battery. (did you catch what i just did there?)

clear the chambers, then try it again.

okay ... well, stop this. if you're going to go through the trouble of premixing, you might as well use the correct oil. i doubt this is your issue, but, still ....

Stuck seals are almost never a thing. But I echo, if you are going to go through the largely pointless hassle of premixing, use proper TC3W rated 2 stroke oil.

It sounds like the car may just be very flooded especially if before it was parked, it was being cranked with a low battery. You can spend a lot of time trying to unflood it, or you can just push it with another vehicle. Put pads between the bumpers, push it up to about 20MPH, then let out the clutch in 2nd gear slowly. It will start.

Also, put your BAC back on. Removing it does nothing other then break the ability of the ECU to control the idle.
