    Open the throttle all the way and crank it. If it does not work right away then you will have to let it sit.

    Fred’s Dad got it – another option is to remove the spark plugs, crank it over until you do not see gas blowing out of the holes any more. Replace spark plugs and start it as usual.

    opening the throttle usually makes it start right up.

    Open the throttle all the way open, and crank it over..If that doesnt do it leave the throttle open pull the plugs and crank it over to dry out cylinders…..
