Kodiak won't start

The engine turns over.You can put the choke in multiple places with no change in trying to start.Once or twice it sounds like it wants to take off but really never fires.Yes the gas was left on (dumb move).I have let it go longer than this and it has started fine.I have not got to check my plug or if it is getting fire.The manual says to take off the gas line to see if the fuel **** is clogged.I wanted to get your guys opinion first.Thanks for any help

If I was haveing your problem here is what I would do.
1. I know this sounds silly but, check your kill button.
2. Check your plug and see if its getting fire. If not then install a new one. Also note the condition. If its black or even wet then the choke plunger might be sticking causing it to flood. This is what happend to mine this past winter. If the fire is weak I would install a new plug if I had one.
3. If the plug is firing and looks in good condition turn the gas off and drain the float bowl. On page 8-34 of your owners manual shows a picture of the screw to turn to release the fuel "possibly" water out of your bowl. Its the small one on the bottom with the plastic tube connected to it. Be sure to let the contents run into something to see if water was in it. "If it had water in it fill it back up and try again".
4. After it is empty I would turn the gas back on and see if gas ran out the drain tube. If it didnt, turn off the gas, take off the tube that goes from the fuel **** to the carb, turn the gas back on and see if any fuel flows. If it doesnt flow then the fuel **** stoped up.
5. If all the above check out; plug firing, gas flowing then you are not getting gas through the carb. I would take off the carb and take out the slow jet/pilot jet. This is the circuit that deals with starting and idleing.
These are the things I would do. It may or may not work but its where I would start.
Hope it helps.
