[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1446060, member: 19880"] The WOT (wide open throttle) technique for a flooded FJR isn't instantaneous. I have had to do this upon a couple of occasions. Once after extended (winter) storage and once after starting and shutting off without letting the engine warm up. FULLY CHARGED BATTERY to start with. WOT, crank for maybe 15-20 seconds and give it a rest for the starter to cool a couple minutes. Might take a few tries. Once it seems to be catching a bit (you can tell) I would back off on the throttle a bit. It will eventually catch but maybe only on one or two cylinders and you might have to modulate the throttle to keep it going. Doesn't take long to clear. If the cranking speed slows down due to battery depletion, charge the battery (or boost). [/QUOTE]
