Makes em crank really fast and it won't do any harm for a short burst.
I replaced the plugs and the two on the left side of the engine were fouled, I'm thing that maybe the car is flooding?? Is it easy to flood the car? It reeks of gas. I noticed that the right carb doesn't have a spring activator for the accelerator pump.
