Zack, The starting fluid that I purchased has a cylinder lubrication in it, so I think it would be just about the same as the gas with oil in it for the very small amount that I was using. I would not use it without the lubrication in it. Anyway, I think I solved the problem now. Thanks for all of your input. I appreciate it! Also when it does flood (rare occasion in the past) I remove the gas line from the motor as well and pull the cord a few times and gas comes out of the connection at the motor pretty much, then remove the plugs and pull the cord some more like you suggested.
