I flooded my engine

Appology accepted, unless I spelled appology wrong, then the apology is accepted.

We are both on the same page - stay the hell away from the gas pedal while starting a fuel injected engine, but if you missed that part of the class, then hold the gas pedal all of the way down to recover from the problems caused by sleeping through the class.

Always do the simple stuff first.

Well sure it started then. You physically removed the affect of whatever the problem was.

I had this discussion with a woman on the BMW boards the other day. She said that her car was started and stopped and started and stopped again in a very short time frame, and then would not start again as hard as she might try. I scoffed at the notion that this would flood the engine, but I did pretty much the very same thing with my motorhome (the only similarity is the fuel injected engine) and it flooded. I was selling the mo'home, and a buyer wanted to start it - I was winding up my day with a gin&whatever - and the mo'home wouldn't start. It finally did start, but it took several minutes. Basically, the buyer's tail lights were disappearing over the horizon, and the mo'home decided to fire. It had never balked at any time in the previous

The woman with the BMW said they (she and her husband) had to call the two truck to take the car to the dealership for service. The plugs turned out to be wet, just like yours. By her own account, they did not try more than a minute or two to start the car, my mo'home took at least ten minutes of fussing around to roar back to life.

Ahh.. Jeff

Your story was different. Don't you think that your motorhome 'knew' that you were going to be parted, and it did the only thing it could to scupper the deal. And from your account, it succeeded!

Sometimes I think these things are almost human............lol!

Not only did it know we will soon be parted, it knew that I had busted my ass taking trees out of the backyard, and was winding down with Gin & Whatever - and the whatever was kept to low dosages. And, you're right, I still have a motorhome for sale.
