If its flooded the plug will appear real wet when you pull it out. To clear out a flooded motor this is what I do. if theres a gas shut off turn it off.npull it over a few times. the Boat guru,s might laugh or think im crazy for what Im about to tell you. But Ive done this with weedwhip,chainsaw,highly modified snowmobiles. And never have caught fire or blown up
in over 35 years. I take the plug out and burn the gas off the plug with a lighter then hold the lighter over the plug hole keep hair and face back and pullit over. A little puff of flame will blow out and thats it. Put the plug back in and try to fire it up. Dave
Snake keeps saying the plug is dry, so not flooding. more like not getting fuel. I think he really needs to check his fuel plumbing.
I don't think it's wise to reccomend trying to light off any unspent fuel in the cylinder with the plug removed or by holding the plug near the plug hole and cranking the engine. If there happens to be any fumes in the hull, it could spell disaster and is a very dangerous situation you are recommending. If it were flooding, it would be highly likely that some fuel will make it into the hull. Now, how would you feel if his next post is that he followed your advise and wound up in the hospital with severe burns?
