[fordiebeer]

my 350lc was running great , came back on motorway from the lakes no problem , bit since then (4 weeks) , everytime i have tried to start it from cold its flooded immediately and needs a mega long bump start to get going , then its fine untill i let it go cold then it wont start again , ive checked the plugs when this happens they spark well but are very wet and you can smell fuel , help
