this makes no sense. easy flooding is exactly a gas issue. if you are pumping the crap out of it and flooding it , it will take forever to start. if the floats are set too high it will flood and drip gas out of the boosters and take forever to start. if you have excessive fuel pressure it will flood out and take forever to start. if you have heat soak and gas percolating or fuel boil, it will take forever to start. i would make sure you are not having a fuel/carb issue first. but thats me.
