Hi all

2.0l Aircooled 1980

Think I have manage to flood the engine/plugs/carb by over pumping the accelerator when trying to start, it now wont start although the starter motor is trying, it is cold out there today...which doesn't help, can anyone tell me an easy way to clear this, or should I just leave it over night?

Dave

Push foot down on accellerator and leave it there, on the floor. Don't lift or push back down as this will pump more in!
Now just turn over engine until it starts to fire.
Should work hopefully.
