flood on startup

I may have posted this before but I forget... When I start my car it floods, every time accept in the mornings I need to hold the pedal to the floor for clear flood mode to get the car started. Other than that the car runs fine, I'm curious how to fix this problem.

What is your cranking rpm set to?

Are you using a BAC valve?

What are your cranking pulse-widths?

It's set to 250 rpm, no bac valve, and cranking pulse-widths are 1.1

You might have the cranking rpm set too low. I usually set it to 400.

How big are your primary injectors?

That shouldn't be a problem... I wonder if your injectors are just leaking. The amount of fuel you're injecting doesn't seem like too much.

The rotary likes extra air when starting though, at least in my experience, which is why I usually leave the BAC valve on, and open it up a bunch during cranking.

That's good to know. The car is down for the time being so i cant tinker with it at all. I guess till it's up and running again i'm not going to mess with it.
