[QUOTE="2strokesteve89, post: 205795, member: 1670"] First of all if its flooded, dumping gas in thru the spark plug hole won't help that. I would first shut off the gas, pull the plug and clear the cylinder by kicking it over several times, then install the plug and with out turning the gas on try starting it. If it starts or try's to start you have an issue with the float or needle and seat. Letting to much fuel into the engine. If it doesn't start then I'd try a compression test, it should be at least 150 or higher, if not you may be looking at leaking or out of time valves. At that point a cylinder leak test would be in order, basically with the valves shut at TDC fill the cylinder with shop air and if it leaks out either the intake or exhaust it's valves, if thru the crank case then rings.start out with these checks then get back here with your results.
