is it flooded??

Alright this is whats going on, for the past couple days i've been trying to get the engine running, yes gas is getting to it, yes its pouring gas into the primaries, but no its not starting. Does that mean its flooded? The weird thing is that i can get the engine to fire up if i pour gas down the secondaries only. Is that the effect of flooding?

yeah, pull the plugs, if their wet it's flooded, also, its the same if the oil smells like gas.

i will try pulling the plugs tonight when it stops raining, but i'm just confused on why the engine would work if i pour gas down the secondaries, but won't work if poured down the primary.
