How do you start a flooded puma engine?

[haGGard]

Took the puma out the garage tonight to give it a run around the block. Its not even been in the garage for more than 2 weeks and i went to start it, it ran for about a second then died. When i went to start it again it just kept turning over and then i could smell petrol like its been flooded :lol:

Its only been in there a few days. Any ideas or should i just try again tomorrow morning.

Turn on ignition, push accelerator pedal to the floor, start car, and when engine fires up, release accelerator pedal.

I tried that, it was turing over for at least 30 seconds before i gave up :?

Battery low on charge?

Pumas do not like short runs, when it does fire up, take it for a longer run to clean the engine out, and to get everything up to operating temperature

I'll give it another go in the morning. When i try tomorrow, should i use the HOT start procedure straight away or the cold. It fired up straight away on the cold start tonight, It just died again after a second.

Vapours/droplets will stay in the engine, so thats why it fired up straightaway, try pumping throttle a couple of times, to put some fuel into cylinders first, make sure fuel pump primes/presurises fuel system, before attempting to start engine.
