quote RVPapasso:
Frank, if you read my original post the spark plugs were dry after extreme choking and injecting fuel directly into the carb. The amount of fuel I injected directly into the cylinders was enough to wet the plugs. I did not consider it excessive to flood the cylinders as I have done this before with success to get a dry motor going.
With all the fuel you dumped into that thing, one would expect the plugs to be wet. You know for a fact that it had a bunch of fuel but still they weren’t wet. Doesn’t that suggest that too much fuel doesn’t necessarily result in wet plugs? I’d dry it out and try again.
