you've been flooded my friend

holding the pedal to the floor while cranking the engine will shut off the fuel and hopefully allow you to start it...

if it gets EXTREMELY flooded, pulling the plugs - dripping in some oil - and then cranking it becomes the procedure....

sometimes I just pull the EGI fuse and crank it a few times, pop it back in and try it again
