We started it up and took it about 1/3 of a mile and it turned off. We couldn't get it to start up again. There was a raw gas smell, and we think that the engine was flooded. What would be the problem. We think it might be that the fuel sytem needs to be flushed, or mabye the fuel pump is putting out too much gas. It's an electrical fuel pump.We also thought that it might be that we need a new fuel filter, we put a new one in about a month ago but haven't driven it.
If anyone knows the problem, that would be great. Thanks a lot.
