In almost every vehicle, flooding occurs from one of 3 reasons that come to mind:
- The flow of fuel is too rich and must be adjusted
- There is a problem with the needle and seat (flow filter and repression, if the vehicle is a carburetor engine)
- Several depressions of the accelerator pedal prior to starting the car
Alternatively, if the idle of the vehicle is too high, large amounts of fuel are injected when the car is started causing flooding or backfire.
