1st... Make sure H/L are set properly.
2nd... Leave DeComp alone
3rd... 3 pulls full choke, kick full choke off and pull 'till start.
It's very easy to flood the 361 on full choke. You can listen for the gurgle of an almost start, but you can miss it.
Only exception to rule 3 and (3) full choke pulls, would be when starting from a run dry condition. In this case 5-8 pulls will prime the carb, then switch full choke off.
+ 3 (or maybe more).
Also, count the faintest indication that it wants to start as a "pop", and leave the hearing protection off!
Mine has never flooded on me!
