best way clear flooded 2 stroke 5th scale: take the 2 screws out that hold the airbox and carb on and put carb to side without even taking any linkage off just let hang to the side, then with carb off simply pull the starter 3-6 times until it fires it, it will start and increase rpm but won't go max rpm just burning the flood out, once it stops, put car & airbox back on screw the 2 screws down and pull starter WITH CHOKE OFF & DO NOT PRIME. It should fire right up, mine did, I tried to deflood it all the wrong ways, until doing it the right way, now no more flooded engine problems, with this technique you can always always get your motor running very easily. Unless your kill switch button is jammed or your needles are way off otherwise, this will do the trick

An easier way is to just squirt some starter fliid in through the air filter and she'll start straight up.
If it's flooded there'l be plenty of lube in there and no need to pull anything apart.
