How To - Clear a Flooded Engine

The engine can become flooded if it is primed too many times during the course of a routine startup. When the engine is flooded, the EZ-Starter cannot turn the engine and it will appear to be locked. Use the following procedure to clear a flooded engine.

1. Remove the blue glow plug wire
2. Remove the glow plug with a 5/16 nut driver
3. Plug in the EZ-Start® and turn the model upside down
4. Push the EZ-Start button for several seconds to clear the excess fuel from the combustion chamber
5. Turn the model over and re-install the glow plug with gasket
6. Reconnect the blue glow plug wire
7. Remove one of the motor wires from the EZ-Start motor
8. Push the EZ-Start button for several seconds. This lights the glow plug and burns off any remaining fuel
9. Reconnect the EZ-Start motor
10. Do not prime the engine. Press the EZ-Start button.

The engine should start immediately.
