Long trip........now wont turn over.

Went on a 3 hour and back trip in my FC. Got back and didnt drive for a few days. Now it will turn, but wont fire. Is it flooded? Does loss of compression have anything to do with it. Should I just try the ATF trick to get compression back?

Might be flooded. Try the unflooding procedure (fuse pulling).

Did you check the spark plugs to make sure they're not fouled?

Check to make sure fuel's getting in, the spark plugs are sparking and you have compression.

I'd say check in that order.
