No, too much fuel already. Prop open the butterflies in either the Carburetor or the one on the Mass Air Flow sensor and let it evaporate for about 30 minutes then you can use ether.

How do you dry a flooded engine in a grand am?

It depends on how badly the engine is flooded. If you've solved the original problem you can always pull the plugs, purchase an air gun with a long extension tube, connect it to a compressor and blow each cylinder completely dry. Make sure you mark the sparkplug wires first, so you'll be able to get them back where they were. Or... if it's just moderately flooded you can use some starting fluid to force the engine to start. Ether in the starting fluid is a lot more volatile and will burn when gasoline won't. If it were me, I'd try the starting fluid first and if that doesn't work THEN I'd escalate to compressed air in the cylinders.


Why will your 1991 S10start on ether but not on gas?

Ether is alot more flammable! Dont use too much, it is hard on your engine and can be dangerous! The reason your truck wont start is most likely because of a dirty jet in your carb, or your fuel pump is bad.

How is the engine making valve noise?

I use to have this problem, Most of the time the noise that make it sound like a whistle or Turbo noise. Its the seals are leaking its ether header or Manafold. Get a new gasket for ether of those. Use a Brake Spray to test it out!


What is a hot start lever on a dirt bike for?

It adds fresh air, leaning out a rich mixture. Think of it as the opposite of a chock. Many riders use it every time they start a warm bike. Others only use it when they stalled or flooded their engine. Pull the lever as you kick and release it once the bike kicks over.
