DIAGNOSING AND STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE
A flooded engine can be identified by the smell of unburned gasoline coming from
the exhaust pipe, or by periodic weak firing and puffs of black smoke during starting
attempts. If you have a flooded engine, follow the procedure below:

Remove the spark plug and thoroughly dry it. (Note another indication of a
flooded engine is a spark plug that is dripping with gas).

With the spark plug removed push the starter button for a few seconds while
holding the throttle in the full-open position. This will remove excess fuel from
the engine.

Install the dry spark plug, and start using the normal procedure.
WARNING! Ensure you have placed the spark plug cap away from all fuel sources
before pulling the starter cord or a fire could occur!
WARNING! Do not use a flooded engine procedure whereby you hold the throttle
wide-open and then attempt to start the engine. If the engine starts, the prop would
rapidly spin to full RPM and damage or injury would most likely occur!
