to much fuel

My engine keeps flooding because I'm getting to much fuel. I have 720 secondaires and the rx7.com fuel pump however the fuel pump on the site says that it doesn't make idle to rich. I can't even turn my car over because of the fuel issue is there anything I can do? THanks. I do have an safc but really am a newb on using one is there any pointers yall could give me on leaning it out at first with the safc? Thanks.

What are your mods that constitute the needs for 720's ? Mods list would be an asset.

The secondaries should not effect the idle at all, unless they are leaking.

I can't even turn my car over because of the fuel issue is there anything I can do?
You mean the engine won't spin? Or won't start?

Turn over=engine rotates
cranks=engine rotates
fires=starts

the engine fires most definatly but keeps flooding. I do have an safc but like I said I'm a total noob to it so I don't know how to lean it out on idle. I took out my plugs yesterday to clean them off and they where definatly fuel soaked. I had the engine at least starting before I had my friend get in it once and give it gas I think he gave it too much when he was starting it and it flooded. Now I can't get it to start for anything. Thanks

Go to settings, and then low. At 1000 move it down to around -15% or so and do the same for 2000 as well. Might want to do this at the high setting as well since we see 100% throttle most of the time you hit the gas at all. And I'd put your throttle point to 98 low and 99 high. You aren't going to hurt anything by messing with the s-afc at idle. Just go low enough that it stays running. I actually did that to mine and then took more out until it sounded like it might stall. I did that just to save gas while stopped at lights and stuff.
