ENGINE FLOODED

UNDER CONSCRUCTION

If an engine is flooded, move the mixture control to idle cut-off and advance the throttle and propeller controls full forward.

Turn ON the master switch and ignition switches.

The auxiliary fuel pump should be OFF.

After ensuring that the propeller is clear, engage the starter. When the engine fires, retard the throttle and advance the mixture slowly.
