WelI figured out my engine flooding trouble and thought I'd share. I was getting flooded out before I even started the engine with the APS 380 fuel pump. I set up the pump exactly to what they had in the manual.. but what was happening is the return line from the pump connect via a T-connector to the fill-line for the tank. just as recommended. but what happened, is when I was filling my tank, fuel would flow backward down the Fuel Pump return-line and pushed fuel into the carb. So.. I was flooding before I even started. What I did to resolve is bought a fuel line check-value and placed on the return line from the pump, before the "T" on the fill line.. Engine starts and runs fine. I can't believe I haven't read about this in all the threads I've read.. Or.. I'm open to positive criticism if I'm miss something.. Always willing to learn.
