Not so much flooding as fuel starvation but par for the course when spinning (fully developed) carburated Robin 2160s.

A rather unnerving feeling whirling around with the airframe shaking as the engine coughs itself silent .....then a wonderful sssshhhhhh sound.

Exit spin, apply some g and the engine (hopefully) splutters back to life

If it doesn't then time to look for that emergency landing field that you identified before entering the spin
