Sounds like you haven't tried unflooding it yet. Try a search for 'unflood procedure' and you should get plenty of suggestions.

In a nutshell, you remove the plugs, crank the engine, and it blows out the extra fuel. Then you put in clean plugs and start the engine with the gas pedal down to prevent extra fuel injection. It can take a while to get it going, and it might smoke a lot, but keep trying it will go.
