I'm glade you got it fixed soup. I don't wish you no bad luck, but I sure am glade you came up with proof a flooding motor will cause the exhaust to turn red, because I've been on the loosing end of that argument for a long time, but I've seen it a lot of times on cars with conv. thanks for letting us know.
