Rhino, just to clear up the question of flooding, can you do a simple test please. Fill the fuel tank, turn on the fuel, and walk away for 15 minutes. Then remove the spark plug and pull the starter cord a couple of times. Does liquid fuel come out of the spark plug hole? If it does, your problem is carburetor flooding. We can talk then about how to fix it.
Do not worry too much about piston damage from flooding with a mixed-fuel 2-stroke. There is always quite a bit of oil on the cylinder wall when you have flooding or when you over-prime it. (It's quite different with a 4-stroke: keep the priming to a minimum with those, because it washes the oil off the cylinder wall.)
