Tell us more about how it's flooding the plugs.

Is it popping? Does it foul the plugs? (black sooty stuff on plugs). Or are the plugs wet? How does it run? Does it put gas on the plugs *all* the time? Or just when you stomp on it? Is the carb new? Are all the plugs wet, or just a couple?

My first reaction to your original post was that you may have garbage in the needle & seat. When that happens, gas flows through the carb (into the intake) all the time. You should be able to smell the gas. This makes a mess. It will dump a *lot* of gas into the oil, and plugs. You can fix it by replacing the needle&seat or just cleaning it out (but they're cheap so why not make sure you're getting a good seal). If you find that's the problem, make sure you replace the fuel filter. - and your oil!
