Thread: I am really hoping I didn't hydrolock

    Well, the last time I messed with the carbs was almost a week before I attempted to start it. I assume all the raw fuel that was sitting on the cylinders from when I was messing with the accelerator pumps had all leaked through or evaporated. I will be a little worried until I get the new starter on and I hear her run....
    Now I have a gut ache : (

    Pull the spark plugs out and spin it over.

    Do as Stressedout says,pull the plugs and turn over the motor. Make sure to pull the coil wire or gas coming out of the plug holes will hit the spark plug wires and start a helaicious fire.
    Ruins your whole day.

    If you dumped that much fuel down it you might want to think about changing your oil too.

    Superdave is right. Change your oil. Gas will leak past the rings really quickly. I'd pull the plugs just to check but I bet that any gas just drained into the oil.
