Car flooded think the dealer should have warned me how easy it is to flood the engine !The rotary engine will not drain if you flood, I have managed to get started by taking the 20amp Green fuse for the fuel pump out then turn the engine over several times to drain the petrol then put fuse back in and should start, has for me twice
