And just tried…absolutely nothing. I'm thinking it's flooded again from today's earlier effort. Sparks out n all that jazz again and going to leave it 3 patient hours.

SHE STARTED AGAIN

Had to keep throttle down, but eventually she idled at around 900rpm This then started dropping as she warmed up a bit…
And then she started smoking…A LOT!!!

It's hard to see as it's dark. Now I know the last time I cleaned the engine bay this happened. And I know it's a lot lot colder so the smoke would seem more. I also know I've sprayed the injectors with wd-40 when I was planning on taking them out so this has to burn off. But on closer inspection…and bare with my description…
right hand side of the inlet manifold there's what looks like a little outlet which was letting liquid out onto the manifold. The idle also started getting lower and lower until it was about 100rpm and about to die, and I just turned her off. Engine was not up to the first mark on the temperature gauge by the time this happened.
I also took the oil cap off off, n it was smelling slightly of petrol I think…but this can happen with the engine flooding if I'm right in thinking?
One other thing was when she would settle at an idle and I'd rev her she'd misfire…but that would be ignition timing being out yeah?
Thank you so much for getting me this far ladies & gentlemen the end is nye…hopefully!lol

the smoke could be from burning of whatever you have used to clean the engine
as to this liquid i'm not sure what that could be
you also have to bare in mind that if you've flooded this a lot then everything will be full of petrol and this will need to burn off and can cause smoke also

I'll get a photo of the area the drips were coming from once it's daylight…thinking about it, it may well be leaking from the rocker cover gasket as I didn't change the gasket after removing the cover a second time. But daylight should reveal more anyway.
