My dad has an 80 scottsdale 1/2 ton and for the last few years that it was still being driven daily in order to get it started you had to pump the snot outta it, i mean 20-30 times for it to start. I have never seen a vehicle require so much fuel to start, it is next to impossible to flood that thing. It has been off the road now for about 5 years but still gets used around the property and in order to start it you have to pump it till the cows come home. Back when it was still in service he did take it in and have it checked just to be told that everything was fine and if pumping it like that did not flood it , to not worry about it. I know none of this helped you in any way , just sharing a similar expierence is all.
