? out carb flood with gas on spark plugs...
My problem as subject. but i think some of the gas has dried its almost starting.
My question is should i try to give it gas or just keep trying to start it? b/c i don't want to flood it more.
it is a carb.

Mike,
Hopefully you've removed most of the plugs, cranked the engine to expell excess fuel, and installed dry plugs. Plugs that are wet with fuel will shunt the park rather than getnerate a spark across the gap.
If you are still getting too much fuel delivery, try holding the throttl and choke open to start the engine. Do not "pump" the throttle to add more fuel, just open it once and hold it there. Once thte engine fires on a few cylinders and will run on its own, slowly back the throttle down to limit RPM but still keep the engine running. As it warms up to operating temperature, the remaining cylinders should dry out and begin firing. Once it is running correctly, you'll have to determine why it's flooding in the first place.
