1. How much fuel? Could be that there is too much if a float valve is stuck.
Open up a spark pulg or two and take a look inside should not be drowning
just a bit damp. (carful of sparks, if you crank it with a plug out a
good bit a gas may come out and possible ignite)
1.a. Are you pumping gas? Or has water condensed and settled to the
bottom of your tank?
2. How do you know you are getting spark? (Spark at the plug tip, when
cranking.)
3. Has anything changes since it last ran? Start there, if so, and work
back.
