Do NOT use WD40 or starting fluid unless you don't want the crank in it. If it doesn't start with new, fresh gas it isn't going to start at all. First you need to get the water out of the system. Drain the tank (remove and dump). Remove the carb bowl and dump. Use carb cleaner to clean out the carburetor. Dump your gas into a can that is clean. Once dumped look at it and if you see little clear balls at the bottom you have water. Now if you see 2 different levels then you have a lot of water. You need to clean out the system of any water including the filter if there is one.

billy you need to undo the sparkplug spray some crc or wd40. into it pull the cord with the pug out a few times them put a cap of fuel in then do up the sparkplug and pull a few times and it should start.
