HELP pls.

I just tried starting my FD tonight to put it back in the garage and now it wont start.
It turns over and sometimes it seems like it would catch but still wont go.
Had the same problem 2 days ago I thought it was just bad gas. Added fresh gas and some gas treatment hoping to remove any water in the tank. After a couple of tries it ran.

I just got this car 5 months ago. 10 K on a new motor. It is mostly inside the garage. I take it every now and then out of the garage and let it run till its warm.

Same things I used to do with my previuos FCs.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you can smell fuel then its either flooded or your not getting a spark my guess is its flooded...hold pedal down (cuts fuel) and crank...if you can't get it to start its probably really flooded and you need to do the procedure where you pull the spark plugs, crank the engine to expel fuel, and then squirt ATF into the plug holes, reinsert plugs, and start engine.
