Default 400EX wont start! help!

omg im so freakin mad at this thing. i go out to the garage, hit the start button, starts for a sec, shuts off. so i keep trying to start it. now, the battery dies, so its on the charger. so i think,"maybe the filter is plugged and its not getting enough air." so i open the airbox. theres a half pound of freaking birdseed inside!!!good god! stupid mice!!!! so i finallly got the airbox cleaned out. but it still wont start!!!
what the heck is wrong with my quad? could the carb be frozen? what the heck?

Did it suck anything in? Check your fuel/line/tank/switch to be sure its getting gas. Next check kill switch/wiring and spark plug/wire/ignition/wiring to be sure they never chewed anything else.

i dont think that that is the problem. i think that the plug might be fouled. but i got too cold to take it out and check.

Check your plug. You might have flooded it since it wasn't getting any air.

we tried pop starting it, and the engine would come on, but if i gave it any gas whatsoever, it would stall out. i think that the plug is fouled, but im not ecactly sure how to remove the plug.
