By doing it this way you've richened the mixture & then your adding enough air to ignite it with.

What is a tell-tale sign that my engine is flooded? Usually I assume that if i'm hearing popping sounds in the engine while its turning over it is flooded. If I floor the accelerator during this time, the popping will increase in frequency and volume, until the engine will finally start.
For everybody else, It's too late. When I installed the manual choke, I threw out the electric choke. And the car is so close to dying I really don't feel like salvaging another one.
