IT STARTS!!! ...Well kind of
I went out and started the rex after its long winter nap and (just like it did before winter) it was hard to start due to flooding.
Now, to solve this problem should I adjust the mixture screw?
I know very little about carbs so, how do I do that?
I know there has been a lot of start-up questions lately so I am sorry for the redundancy of the topic, but thanks for your help in advance!

A few factors/questions that will help us help you...
do you use the choke? if so how far do you pull it?
how many times do you pump it?
when was your last tune up?
has it always been this way or did it develop?
depend on weather?
does it do it hot? or just cold?

2. once or twice at most
3. did tune up about last August (I stopped driving it in September)
4. it has been this way since I bought it last summer, the previous owner had the same problems.
5. yes, it is harder to start when it is cold and or damp out
6. it usually, is when the engine is cold.
It starts right up if I spray starting fluid down the carb and pull out the choke.
Thanks again.

What causes this problem? the flooding I mean.

I'll just use starting fluid in it for a while until I get the time to test the ignition system.
