It means that you somehow got liquid gasoline into the cylinder(s) of the engine and it is so rich that it won't fire.
It is ALMOST impossible to actually flood a modern engine......using anything close to "normal" starting proceedures. With a carb like the GZ, either something is broken or the operator did something REALLY dumb.
With a fuel injected engine, something has to be broken because there is nothing the driver can do to cause it.......except maybe pouring gas directly into the intake.
Why do you ask ?? :whistle:
If someone told you your engine was flooded, chances are good that they were wrong.......or something IS broken and needs to be fixed.
Theoretically, trying to start the engine with the choke fully closed/operated/on and continuing to crank it for a LONG time while it is not firing might do it......but with a modern carb, I think even that is a stretch.
