read faq, does it have used housings? if so they take awhile to build up compression depending on condition.

im not sure about the housings id say theird be fine as the car was sold with warranty,it normally starts on the button do you think mabe a lead or plug could be down???????????

Flooding is a direct result of too much fuel, weak spark, or weak compression. 1st thing I would do is a compression test to see how good of a job they supposedly did on the rebuild. A number of other things could also be wrong like a lack of lubrication from the OMP which will lower the compression some. Do a compression test so you can establish a base line then get back to us.
