if you have a block heater, plug it in for at least an hour. this will help evaporate the gas during the next steps

pull the top 2 spark plugs out and crank it a few times with the pedal to the floor. wipe up the mess that shot out, let it sit for 5 minutes. squirt 10CC of plain engine oil into each chamber crank it 3 more revolutions (youll hear 6 "puffs"), reinstall the plugs, floor the gas pedal and crank till it starts. when trying to start it you should ALWAYS crank for at least 10 seconds or you're just going to flood it even worse than before. wait at least 30 seconds between attempts to let the starter cool down and the battery "recharge".

DO NOT USE ETHER OR ANY KIND OF STARTING FLUID

if this doesnt work you have to change your oil because the oil that's getting injected into the chambers is too diluted with gas from the flooding to keep a good seal in the combustion chamber.

also if you don't hear 6 uniform puffs when cranking you may have a blown or sticking seal in the engine
