Pull the sparkplugs, make sure the ends of the wires aren't near ground, pull the egi fuse and crank until all the gas spits out of the chamber.

i was having the same problem, and i installed the fuel pump cut off switch. What i ended up having to do was turn the pump off, and crank it till it lit... and it will if its flooded, it just takes time, and then flip the pump back on before the thing died again... it was a pain in the ***. But on the upside, the problem disapeard as quickly as it appeared and i dont seem to have to worry about it much anymore.

So if you turn off the switch and crank, you still get nothing?

Are you sure the switch is properly cutting off the fuel pump?
