FD sat for 3 days..wont start

tried the egi fuse trick in case the motor was flooded. I tried push starting it on my own today in 1st. Still no luck. My only assumption is spark plugs. And Ive had the car since Oct.

I would do an unflooding procedure. Letting a rotary sit doesn't help it resolve a flooded condition.

BTW your signature is way larger than the permitted max for the forum. Please size it appropriately or remove it.
