A cold engine in the morning that floods after repeated attempts to start it will stay "wet" for a long time, especially if the plugs aren't removed to allow evaporation. I suppose it depends on the postion of the valves at the time you wait. If the exhaust are open then a little quicker, but I've had a flooded engine stay flooded for nearly an hour (the amount of time it took the AA to arrive, remove and dry the plugs). -- Regards, Danny http://www.gaggia-espresso.com (a purely hobby site) http://www.dannyscoffee.com (UK advert for my mobile espresso service) swap Z for above characters in email address to reply
