i'm going with mark r oil most likley flooded it not gas, take the plug out and see if it has oil on it. if it does crank the engine a few times with the plug out. this will blow the oil out of the cylinder , clean the oil off the plug with brake clean or gas, put it back in and try starting it again. good luck

I agree with all the flooded answers.
Turn off the petcock.
Drain the carb's float bowl.
Remove the spark plug.
Crank the engine over till you see nothing come out of the spark plug hole.
Install a new plug, turn on the petcock and start it up.

Carb's probably flooded or there may be more damage. Was the engine damaged in any way? Let it sit for an hour or so and give it a few cranks.

The plugs are oil fouled. You'll have to take them out and clean them.From being flipped over oil will run into the pistons.

how long have you waited? Could just be that the carb got flooded. The plugs getting fouled is likely too. That guys right.

more than likely it's merely just flooded!!!
open the throttle wide open and start cranking it, it should start within a few tries, run rough for a little bit, then clear up and run fine...
happens all the time with a dirt bike when dropped...

Oil may have saturated the air filter.

Some newer vehicles have sensors that won't let them start if they detect they have been dropped. He should read the owners manual and do what it says.
