Possibly needs more start up airflow to prevent the flooding.

Yank the fuel pump fuse, turn it over for 20-30 seconds in total to clear everything out. Then try to pedal it while you crank it to get it to fire.

Thank you tons, i will try this now.

I dropped it off at the exhaust shop running fine then picked it up with this issue. I can only assume they cranked it a ton without giving it some gas pedal(which it needs to get going with this new cam). I failed to inform them but i assumed they would know how to handle those kind of situations. I guess what they say about making assumptions make an *** out of you and me is true.

Is it possible that damage could have been done due to this extreme case of flooding

I cranked and cranked with the relay out and pulled a plug, still soaked. I pulled all the plugs now and i am just gonna let her set overnight. I will re-adjure the problem tomorrow night, hopefully all that stuff clears out of the cylinders by then.

Do you think something could have been damaged in the process?

The crazy thing is that those plugs have less then 5 miles on them.

It needs to be tuned, period.

I know the audio of the chop may have sounded cool but it didn't sound "healthy" if that makes sense. What is the lsa on that cam, by the way? Regardless - don't try and start the thing again until an experienced tuner can take a stab at it - let the board know...curious to know if you didn't torch something or not.
