Re-Starting A Flooded Lawnmower Engine: Correct Procedure ?

Hello:

Should have probably included this in my previous post, but forgot to:

Have a new Toro self propelled mower.

If for some reason the engine becomes "flooded," perhaps too many pushes on the priming bulb, what's the correct procedure for making it usable again, and being able to restart it ?

Thanks, B.

To re-start a "flooded" engine, you must clear the engine cylinder(s) where combustion occurs.

The most direct method is:

1) Remove the spark plug and clean if necessary 2) Try to start the engine in order to draw fresh air into the cylinder via the spark plug hole 3) Re-install the spark plug
