Take off the "engine" fuse. Hold the throttle to the floor and run the starter for 10-15seconds so the float bowl will empty out and will clear out the gas. Then reinstall the fuse and start it. If it does this again, repeat and then try starter fluid down the carb before you start it.

first thing i try is unplugging the fuel pump and crankin it til it wants to kick over. if that doesnt work you have to take the plugs out and crank it over a few times to clear it out. then try and start with no pump, when it starts i plus it back in

were all the fuses are under the dash, the engine fuse removed will shut off the fuel pump. Easier then trying to unplug the fuel pump.
