flooding out FC3S4 N/A

the oil was about the consistency of water and smelled like the varnished fuel i drained out of the tank.

i didn't do the oil trick but it seemed to have enough compression to start fairly easily. i think the 3 cranks was only because the fuel system was empty.

i ran it for about 5-6 minutes before i ventured up to 7000, i twas already the coolant temp was climbing, probably 1/4 up the gauge when i ventured into higher revs (only part throttle anyways) the "block" is easily 2+ miles around

it initially idled around 750ish but after the drive it was idling lower.

the beep was a 2-shot, "beep-beep.......beep-beep"

exhaust is a stock 2-cat (i think) system so it very well could be crap built up in the cats. it was smoking out the exhaust a little for a few minutes after i parked it.

I'll double check the M/C inside the car to see if its leaking there
