Re: [T3] Engine flooding...


Thanks for the reply Steve.

That is correct that I'm stalling while the engine is
hot. I was thinking that it's flooding because of my
situation yesterday where I could only get the engine
started with the accelerator to the floor. 

The fuel pump is a type 3 replacement. 

I have not had the valves set recently. Is this
something I can do myself?

Thanks for the rest of the suggestions about what to
check.
