First pull the spark plug out and turn the engine over several times to clear the gas from the cylinder. Then check the oil, make sure that it is not over full from gas draining in the crank case. If it is over full or smells like gas then change the oil. After those checks, put the spark plug back in and you should be good to go. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheaper than an engine rebuild. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
