The carbs would suck fuel down on the vacuum and remain unburnt but washes the oil film.

Thinking about it, the only car you could probably get away with it would be an S4 car or a GSLSE that was EFI and mechanical MOP.

Either way, development of flooding issues is usually a sign of a problem. Moreover, the cars do have the anti-flood fuel cut from depressing the throttle fully while cranking.

Thank you for the ground level information and you restore my faith brother. I was in fear this site was just like that other one so many of us have jumped ship from thank you.

You are correct about the oil metering pump. I am pre mixing and have been for some time and I fully expect to buy a cat because of it possibly, but so be it. I premix because I believe mazda sacrificed lubricty for emmissions, that's just my call. I have never ever experienced any flooding wet starts or any thing of the like. Starts every time hot or cold any weather. It probably starts all the time because I am under the hood daily and it isn't my daily driver its my toy thing,Any way thank you for the response brother
