Wow, I guess punctuation and sentence structure isn't a priority in Anaheim.

Anyway, sounds like you flooded it. Try the de-flood start procedure (7-20 in your manual):

Starting a Flooded Engine
If the engine fails to start, it may be
flooded (excessive fuel in the engine).
Follow this procedure:
1. Depress the accelerator all the way and
hold it there.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the START
position and hold it there―for up to 10
seconds. If the engine starts, release the
key and accelerator immediately
because the engine will suddenly rev
up.
3. If the engine fails to start, crank it
without depressing the accelerator―for
up to 10 seconds.

If the above does'nt work, pull out your fuel pump fuse. Try to start it for about 5 minutes, put the fuse back in, then try to start it again. It didnt work the first time for me, but after about 30 minutes or so, it started. Hope that helps
