    sure can, it will have to be later tonight.

    The problem is it is so random. I fired it up before and after lunch today and it was fine. The only thing it does in the times where it is most likely to have an issue is it will fire up close to stoic, then drift lean for about 30 seconds and then come back. Normally it doesn't do this, only when it has been sitting in this window where it is most likely to flood on startup.

    The other thing is I took it out last night and ran it hard quite a bit. Daily it doesn't see this. I probably just drive 3-4 miles a day around town. I rev it out when I get a chance, but it doesn't really normally get run all that hard.

    It is possible that even just running it hard last night will make the problem go away for while if it cleaned the plugs off well.

    ok, tried it again after sitting about 40 minutes. Car fired right up. Went lean for about 20 seconds, slowly coming back to stoic.

    good enough it if stays this way, but I bet after the gym tonight it'll barely fire. I guess the car wants me to work on it instead of getting into shape, lol.

    Well I fired it up about 10 times today at various intervals, including after the gym and had no issues other than that temporary lean running, which doesn't bother me.

    I'm not sure if the changes I made to the tune fixed it or if going out and running the car WOT for a while just de-fouled the plugs. They could've been fouled from the previous flooding.

    For those that want to know, to run 1050s on gas you have to pull a TON out of the primer pulse. I will share the couple of tables I had to change if it is okay with Greg.
