Flooding problems

The electrical plugs for the carburetor on our 85 RX7 are mixed up. Can somebody post a picture of how they are supposed to go? We think that is what is causing the flooding issue. Thank you.

Can't get you any photos right now, but here's something you can check on. Make sure that the vent solenoid is plugged in. It's the only electrical connection on the driver's side of the carb. That will definitely cause flooding issues if not connected.

its an 85 and the carb is from an runing 81 it ran fine and never flooded hit the back with a truck and broke the rear end. so thought it would work on the 85 but it keeps flooding not every time just if i let it sit for a day.
