My first post so I apologize up front for my naive post. I have been viewing trying to better understand my Scout II and decided I should take the plunge...sign up and see if I can get some help.

My Scout was a gift from my Dad who purchased it only to lose his license to health problems so she sat for at least 5 years under a carport in humid southern ms. I had her shipped out and she cranked right up as she always did when I drove her on my annual visits to ms.

We had a long cold winter yet she started right up two months ago when I moved her. Since she has sometimes started and sometimes not. New battery, she turns over and that's all. I can smell gas even when I put no pressure on the gas pedal. I see a few wires unconnected from the solenoid.....

I can't find a good picture/image/drawing of the solenoid and it's wiring to check where to start...any ideas? Thanks!
 
Sounds like it's flooding. Start by removing the top of the carb and look at the float needle. If it's cracked or dry get a carb kit or if dirty clean it, blow things out with air and reassemble. This is assuming you have the oem top loading Holley 2210 carb.
