Somethings to look over when you suspect a flooded sled. Pull the spark plug or plugs and see if there wet. If there wet, then yours sleds flooded. One thing to do would be to leave the plug out and just pull the recoil many times. Put the plugs back in and try again to fire it up. If this sled has say a while, It maybe time to change the screw on oil filter if it has one, check the fuel lines to see if its time to replace, then get a carb kit and redo the gaskets etc.
