She Won't start

Help,

I just started my car, backed it out of the garage to show it to a potential buyer , he got in the car and stalled it, and now the car won't start again. It turns over, but won't start. I pulled the plugs and noticed that the Trailing plugs were wet with fuel, the Leading plugs had some fuel, but not as wet.

Does this sound like an ignition problem or a flooding problem, and how do I fix this????

Any assistance is much appreciated, I'm trying to sell this car, see link:https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=503860

I posted this also in the Tech Support forum, but just looking for a little more assistance....................Thanks!

This is a 1985 GSL-SE 13B EGI

Definitely sounds like a flooded car, dry the plugs, turn the engine over a bunch with the plugs out of the cylinders, and you should be ok!
