Some use flooding as a generic term for when they can't get an engine  started. They probably choke and pull a lot of fuel thru it. What is flooded and where is the extra gas?Choke gets used on ice cold motors on cold days and maybe for a few seconds as needed to build some rpm. If my motors don't start that easy I richen up the low speed. Most set low speed when it's running and if you get it just right they start with very minimal use of choke. One trick on hard starting motors is to just pull it easy once or twice to pull fresh air in. Third firm pull lights it right up. Ever see a tiny kid start big dirt bike? 3-5 easy kicks right after another is all it takes them. You say "flooded" so unless you misunderstood the troubleshooting for flooding you have hard starting. What is yours doing?</blockquote>
