i thought it worked like this. when you flood the engine it loses compression right ? well if a little gas gets by on a high compression it won't flood it completely it will just run on one rotor for a few seconds then clear it self up. if you have low compression that little bit of fuel will make the engine have ZERO compression and flood the whole thing to hell. if i am wrong correct me

yah that can happen too. if the comression is low, and the oil film gets washed away the comression will get even lower
