Talking well I went and did it after all these years

I royally flooded my 85 RX7!!!!! This wasnt all bad though. I finally had to clean two summers of stuff out of the garage, found a bunch of tools, and sorted them. The car had a foot of snow on it,so now its inside, I pulled the plugs and watched gas run out, charged the battery pumped tires cleaned inside,. Still it hasnt started, so a new cap and wires and plugs , dri gas in the tank and a new filter. Still wont start. I will fix the horn and the right light cover,. If it dont start soon I may have to sand and paint. So flooding a car isnt all bad,look what gets done when the car has to stay at home. This year I may even start it and get it dirty , so I can wash it.



HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.

Hey nooobbbb. Pour a cap of regular oil on each rotor, handcrank about 10 times, then let it sit. Install fresh set of spark plugs then start.

Happy New Year to you everyone also

Bob, you're a hoot.

I hope I can still have similiar outlook on life when I get to your age, and believe, I'm getting there.
