[QUOTE="Weldorthemagnificent, post: 464167, member: 22139"] Given that it ran fine last week and the fuel thing, I'd first check the oil level, a high level may indicate fuel has made its way into the crankcase if that's good, take the plugs out, disconnect the fuel and pull it over a bunch to clear any fuel that may have flooded the engine. Using the plugs in the wire caps, you can check the spark at this point by grounding against the engine and pull it over. Once the engine has had some fresh air run through it, replace plugs, connect fuel and try it out. Sent from my CLT-L04 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
