  • Engine Flooding?

    Is it true that if you twist the throttle while the engine is off, the engine will be flooded? I have a 05 600.

    Thanks

    No. There is no accelerator pump in the stock carbs.

          The petcock/fuel valve is a vacuum operated device whereby it'll only open and allow gas to pass when the engine is on pulling vacuum on the valves diaphragm and shut off when the engine is off due to a loss of vacuum....
