Flooded Mine Today :)

[shafster]

hehehe, that was fun  :Giggle

the rx has been parked up for about 2 weeks now due to the bad weather and me dedicating some time to the other cars..... well the scooby was parked in front of it and i couldnt be bothered to take it out

anyhow, came to start it and it cranked over and was about to start and then decided bugger it, i aint playing ball  :reallymad

so anyhow, im not putting up with no sh1t either. so keep pumping the gas and turning it over every 30 secs for about 2-3 secs at a time and then letting it catch up. almost get it to start a couple of times like it\'s going to but then it gives up the ghost.

after about 15mins, i get it to start and then it splutters and dies again..... back to square one

i keep cranking and waiting for another 5 mins and then it finally starts up, i give it a little gas and it pops a loud one and stays on  :wiggle but it lets out a sh1t load of smoke and fills out the garage with unburnt fuel. almost choked to death

anyhow, take it for a long spin, fill it up with petrol and all is good in the world again

so the moral of the story is.... dont keep it parked up for too long

[Mr J.T]

moral is DONT SELL IT

[Kash_]
