What test for fuel do you mean?, I feel like it floods pretty much immediately, because after I turn key to off I hear what seems like fuel moving down(sorry if explination is horrible), removed egi fuse, I haven't tried starter fluid where would I spray the starter fluid at?, as far as compression testing can I just use regular compression tester?

Fuel pump works w/key to start and not to on.
A proper way to deflood the engine would be to remove a spark plug from each housing, pull an EGI fuse and turn the engine over to expel excess fuel.
You would squirt 1 to 2 seconds of spray into the air intake duct cowl.
A compression tester w/the schrader valve is a must.
If you have a fuel cut switch it should be really easy to figure out if it is working properly or not.
