T1 = Trailing Front Rotor (top left spark plug looking at engine from driver's side)
T2 = Trailing Rear Rotor (top right spark plug)
L1 = Leading Front Rotor (bottom left spark plug)
L2 = Leading Rear Rotor (bottom right spark plug)

Easy flooding are generally from 2 causes, low compression or leaky injectors.

Do a compression test first, do a search for "compression test" if you're unsure how to go about doing it.


Edit: Oh, and welcome to the RX-7 community

a fuel cut off switch can also prevent flooding if its overflooded by switching it off n cranking the engine to burn the extra fuel in the chambers but other then that do the compresion test and wat white87FC said
