Starting a Flooded Engine

If the engine fails to start, it may be
flooded (excessive fuel in the engine).

Follow this procedure:

1. Depress the accelerator all the way and

hold it there.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the START

position and hold it there

―for up to 10

seconds. If the engine starts, release the
key and accelerator immediately
because the engine will suddenly rev
up.

3. If the engine fails to start, crank it

without depressing the accelerator

―for

up to 10 seconds.
