did it ever run for you???

if so it is probably still flooded. Make sure you have a fully charged battery, and hold the accellerator all the way down, while cranking. DO NOT PUMP THE ACCELLERATOR while cranking.

YOu can also check the condition of the leading (lower) spark plugs. Replace them if center electrode tips are rounded or the spark plug itself is covered with black carbon build up. Also make sure the air filter is clean, as a dirty filter will further add too flooding issues.
