K11 Micra refused to start this morning. Flooded engine. It normally starts 1st time OK.
I tried the usual technique of flooring the accelerator, then crank for ages. It normally works but this time flattened the battery.
Called out Green Flag and they recharged the battery and got it restarted eventually using the same technique.
- I have heard of a "fuel pump fuse" technique for getting flooded cars started. What exactly do I do? Remove fuse, crank (for how long) to get spent fuel out, replace fuse. Then, will it start normally.
- The Green Flag man advised replcement of the spark plugs. He's got a point -- they have been in there for 50k miles! Will this clear up any engine flooding problems?
Thanks Bruce
