My car has been sitting outside for the last week in the really bad rains we've had in LA.
I am running dual carbs. I have filters on, but didn't have the rain hats. I went out to start it just now. It made a nasty noise and then seems to have locked up. What should I do? |

Thanks Steve.
I spoke with Euro911, he said same. Pulled the plugs, cranked it. #1 shot out some water. Cranked some more. Cleaned the plugs, a little carb cleaner and voila, she's running. Letting her warm up to boil off an remaining water. Put the rain hats back on too. |
