    When trying to start a car with a flooded engine

    Don't park your bike behind it. When the car finally does go it will spew unburnt petrol and condensation all over your bike.

    Where's that face palm picture? I think I deserve it.

    When I flood an engine I just take the plug(s) out and hold a flame from a lighter into the cylinder. Do that and you won't have to mess your bike up!

    Would it not be just easier to move the bike?

    It's not as much fun as seeing a big flame pop out of the bore.

    Move the bike? Thats where I did move it too so that the guy who was giving my car a jump start could get his close enough.
