Before shutting the car off after turning it on for a few minutes, do you guys rev it
I bought my 8 used from a Honda dealership (go figure). The salesman told me some story about revving up a the rotary to 5k and shutting it off, but I had never heard anything like that before... until I took her to the Mazda dealership for a 30k mile service. The tech that worked on my car advised me to rev it to 5k and shut it down every time. I even hear them do it in the shop when they work on 8's.
I've never had mine flood after doing all the wrong things for 3 years .
I would say to any new owner . Get familiar with the deflood proceedure in the manual , and just forget about all this crap about not shutting off cold and reving it before shutting off .
If you ever do flood you will know what to do .

I take the spark plugs out every morning and do the purge procedure, then reinstall spark plugs, just to be sure. Takes about 1 hour every morning but better to be safe than sorry is what I think. Now my wrist muscles are really strong.

Rev between upshifts, rev between downshifts, and rev in neutral just for good measure. If traveling longer than 2-3 miles without a rev, go ahead and catch up on revs within the next half-mile. The alternative fix, when falling behind the necessary revs per mile, is to cook on Broil mode for 2 minutes on high heat, then reduce to Bake mode on medium-high heat for 3 minutes.
Cover in aluminum foil for 7 minutes, then serve your guests a taste of rotary.
