wont start (sorry for another one guys)

car was running fine then the next day i went to start it, it coughed and half started (sounded like only a few plugs were firing).
i have checked there is spark to all 4 plugs, there is heaps of fuel and fuel smell on cranking.
i have removed the plugs and the leading 2 plugs were wet with fuel, i removed the egi fuse and unflooded the engine. cleaned plugs and put them back in but still no luck, the plugs are only a week old. i did how ever just change from (7x2-9x2) to (9x4) heat range plugs, they have been working but could this be a problem.
also i havent put oil into the rotor hosing through the spark plus yet will this increase the chances of starting?

also there was fuel in my oil

i have tried unflooding it 3 times

thanks for looking guys i know these topics **** yous

Sounds like you have an injector leaking, it may help to put the 7's & 9's back in after clearing the motor of excess fuel. The oil will help with the compression loss from all the fuel. Hopefully it will start but you'll still have to deal with the main issue causing the problem.
