Of Sean Garrett


My 1981 has had a issue for 3 yrs. It floods from cold start or hot if I
give it to much gas. Last night it left me stranded so I must address the
issue now. I have some ideas on how to track down the problem and want to
bounce them off some folks. Central Arizona

I think a compression check is in order.
Often low compression prohibits proper combustion and flooding happens.
I've seen dripping cylinders on 90% of Air Cooled engines in cold
weather(Gas passing through between the cylinder head and cylinder) it can
be seen as a drip in the lower sheet metal plates.
