Does the starter spin at all, or do you only hear the solenoid click every time you turn the key? I'm not seeing what flooding and spark plugs have to do with it, if that's the case. If the starter won't spin, the ignition switch or the wiring from it to the starter may be to blame.

With the car out of gear, jack it up and bridge the small signal wire connection (on the starter solenoid) with the (+) battery cable's terminal. If the start spins, the problem is further up the chain. I'll say it again too: do this ONLY with the car out of gear, or you'll run yourself over.
