flooding trouble

Just pull the fuse on S4's.

That usally helps bring up engine compression (priming it)
One way I "unflood" a real bad flooded engine sometimes is,plull the 2 trailing plugs (top) move the sparkplug lines over... and then crank the engine,it might be a little loud.You will hear the enging's "whooshes" but ti will flood out the fuel,start it.. hold the key down for 5 secs,stop for a few secs and redo abotu 1or 2 times more.
Dry the plugs out,that you have taken out.with a cloth.. then reinstall.
Proper way to clean the carbon off the plugs is with a sparkplug cleaning machine..which I left at my dam job.But you can use sand paper (very fine bit) or a wire brush,and some carb cleaner or brake and parts cleaner.
