actually yeah.  when i worked on my rocco recently for 6 days and then
tried to start it, it didn't...  i checked all the connections, vacuum
lines, timing, every thing.  i was at a loss, but i remembered a trick
my dad used to do on older cars.  i took out all the plugs (they were
all fuel soaked), dried them, and sanded (with fine sand paper) the tip
and underside of the electrode (where the spark jumps) just enough to
clean them off.  reinstalled and she started.  i guess she was
flooded?!?!
