Flooded the crap out of my snowblower. Now what?
Welp... With the first significant snow on the way this year for me, I figured it was time to get the snowblower up and running.
I filled it with gas and had a large brainfart; I primed it about 10-12 times then had the choke on full. Needless to say, I flooded it. This is a four-stroke Toro.
So I pulled the spark plug and the chamber is pretty wet. What do I do? Just leave it sit overnight, leave the plug pulled and try again tomorrow?

Actually, I think I did that already... I can't remember.
I think I'm going to let it sit overnight with the plug pulled and see what happens tomorrow.
Actually, it has been sitting for about an hour. Maybe I'll try it later tonight.

Fixed.
It was flooded. Tried to start it again w/o gas, put the plug back in and tried to start it w/o the choke. It wouldn't go. So then tried it with full choke and BOOM.
Ready for the snow.

Little late but...Fouled plug? A flooded engine doesnt usually last more the 20 min. At least for me. I have a 78 Toro 524 and its pretty tough to flood.
Any updates?
