Just to make sure that the fuel isn't the only problem, you could drain the tank
and carb. Crank it a bunch to make sure all the fuel is gone. If it fires at
all, that is a good sign. If not, try squirting 1/4 teaspoon or less into the
carb, then try to start it. If it now starts and runs for a moment, then you
know that you need to correct a fuel problem. It does sound like it's getting
too much fuel.
