Ok so I haven't started my FC since January

I went to go start it the other day and it wont start anymore:\ Anyone know any ideas I could do to get it going again? I replaced the plugs and everything but no luck.

it is probably flooded. Pull the EGI fuse under the hood and crank it with the gas pedal to the floor for about ten seconds repeat three times replace the fuse and start it up. also try putting some oil into the plug holes for lubrication.

did you see if the spark plugs were fouled from flooding if so you might have fouled another set!

Yea the old spark plugs looked pretty bad so I replaced them. I figured that was the problem. I did the fuse trick as well but no luck. About the plugs though, I'm not sure if I put the caps back on right but I tried both options. Is the ones with the white tag suppose to go on the right or the left?
