flooded engine -- 84 CJ7
I flooded my engine (I think) -- can't get it to start.
I've already tried starting it with my foot to the floor so that the barrel opens but that didn't seem to work. Last night the same thing happened.... but it turned out that it needed gas. I really can't tell if it's flooded or if it's not getting enough gas. It looks really wet in the carb. Any suggestions? DP 84 CJ7 |

If it's flooded, you will smell gas.

Re: flooded engine -- 84 CJ7
Should be able to see it squirt gas as you pump the accelerator. If it's
getting gas, then check for spark. Take one plug out, connect it and lay it on the engine block somewhere will it will get grounded. Turn the engine over and look for spark.
