    haha seriously earlier today I was thinking about torching it

    think theres just a little pump oil still on it but it will just burn off when I torch it

    well I tried to get it off the pressure washer thing today

    I got 3 out of 4 bolts off but I couldn't get the 4th out

    so I flipped it on its side towards the exhaust and I gues it filled up the air cleaner with gas even though I turned the gas line off. Anyway now it wont start I pull the rope and it wont pull again unless I spin the shaft. any ideas?

    I hoping if I let it sit a couple day the gas will evaporate. and it will start?

    4 cycle

    I think the cylinder is just full of gas/oil

    Im going to take the plug out and pull the rope a couple of times to see if I can get some of it out.

    could just be a fouled plug then...

    Didn't you say the filter got gas on it? Make sure it's good and dry or just remove it before you try to start it... otherwise you might not be getting good airflow.

    I actually took the filter assembly off because I was messing with the throttle. I saw some gas/oil down in there but I was stupid and pulled it anyway It now make sslurping noises when i pull the rope so I think the cylinder is full of gas/oil and its not getting air.

    if you're getting fuel/ air, then check for spark. it's probably a fouled plug. Take the plug out, clean it or replace it and then try to crank it.

    pull the plug turn the motor over a few times.. dont stand in front of the plug hole in case something shoots out..;D btw id probly change the oil, likely that its never been changed since new.. the carb bowl most likely dumped its contents down the intake into the cylinder. depending on compression, the rings may prevent the gas from draining into the pan. it may take a few cranks to fill the bowl back up as the pump is probly a pulse pump that is hooked to the exhaust...
