I tried to start it today, but I think I flooded the engine. I used full choke and pressed the starter like I normally do, but zilch, diddly squat. I left it for 10 minutes and tried again, but still no luck. Left it for 10 more minutes and tried again, but didn't work either. Any idea about the best way of starting it with a flooded engine? Thanks
