Help Engine wont start! Weird sound on turn over!

  1. If the starter cranks the engine over slower than usual, for whatever reason, you will hear a sort of soft liquid popping noise (difficult to describe exactly as its not a combustion generated sound ) as a cylinder comes off compression. Since your battery was reading 12V instead of the normal 12.5 to 13.5V I would suggest that the engine was not cranking over fast enough at the time.

    I think you may have just flooded it, got the odd pop, and when you left it longer it started.
    I'd stick with the IE but maybe get some points for emergency use. IE is better for maintaining your timing and spark as there are no moving parts to wear.
