I just bought my 300ex not to long ago and had the same problem..It could possibly be flooded bc i was told that if 300ex's r left sitting for a while, they flood out unless u turn off the gas when ur done riding (could just be mine"?") ...what I* did to get mine goin was put a new battery in just to be safe(80$) , put a new spark plug in, and i turned off the gas an tryed getting it going...this way while your trying to get it going you dont have more gas flooding ur sh*t out.. you can also try the easy route and spray some good old starter fluid in ur air box and try starting it while doing so... hope this helps ya out...
