Aro

Hi I seem to have put a little too much ARO in my carb earlier and when I ran the EZ start it acted like it was flooded. It would spin the engine for a couple of secs then it would stop, this happened a few times when I tried the EZ start. I got worried and ran to my computer to read about flooded nitro engines. This took about 10 minutes then I figured out what I should do. I went back outside to my nitro car and figured I would try the ez start one more time. When I tried it, it worked fine, turning the engine like normal, as if I put only a couple drops in. I ran the ez start 3 or 4 times for about 3 to 4 seconds each time and it didn't stop or do anything strange then some of the ARO ran out of the exhaust. Am I to assume it's fine and I shouldn't mess with it because it turns over fine?

can't really use to much ARO IMO. If you truck acts flooded whether its from fuel or ARO all you have to do is remove the glow plug, turn it up side down, and crank the engine over a few times. This should allow you to put the glow plug back in and start more normally.

Thank you. When I went to read about flooded engines that's what I read to do, but since it turns over fine now should I even have to?

It won't hurt. I would do it myself in your situation.
