Do you guys give your engine a little gas (by deactivating the transmission) if it doesn't start within 2-3 times of cranking it OR maybe just choke it a little by pushing in on the key? It seems that I flooded my engine the other day (see long useless post about engine "problems" below) and I guess it's because I gave it too much gas while starting it... I didn't smell gas too strong, but I guess that had to be it. Any recommended methods that work best?
Oh yeah, I've noticed another thing about my motor... I'm not sure how to explain this, though. Sometimes, if the engine doesn't start the first or second time, it sounds like the starter is giving out or something. I mean, it'll turn over for a few seconds, then make a buzzing kind of noise. I'll have to turn the key off, then try again. I'm wondering if this indicates that the starter is going bad? Does anyone else's motor do this?
