You guys forgot an important part of the flooded engine sydrome.... lift hood, shut fuel off, close hood, hold throttle wide open, pull starter rope until your about to puke, engine will fire up, Now as fast as you can with one hand feather the throttle, open the hood, turn the fuel back on, close the hood...... All while your buddies ride circle around you........ Don't ask me how I know
holy fug you nailed it! My ole 670 was one of the best sleds Ive had but you nailed it! ahhhhh good times...
Dont forget those hoods were flexible enough that you only had to unlatch one side to shut off the fuel
