Default please help wont start

hi guys

I installed a jetpro V2 pipe on my FGMT today and now it won't start. I do have spark and It ran fine with the stock muffler. I doesn't even act like it wants to start. Do I need to adjust needles because of the V2 pipe. I didn't drain the tank when I installed the pipe so is it possible I got too much gas somewhere when I had the truck proped up in different angles. The starter doesn't have resistance when it's pulled, so I don't think its flooded. When I pulled it with the plug off I got some gas and smoke from the cyl head. Should I drain the tank turn the truck over and pull the starter cord? I don't know?

thanks for the help

check the kill switch, they sometimes stick down, if so just use a knife to get the edge and pull it up.

we like to put a screw in to aid in pulling them up.
Center of this page has a basic how to and a pic.

you may need to adjust your idle up a bit when i installed my reed kit and pipe i had to crank the idle to get it running and after a tank or so the idle is back where it belongs and it runs like it used to.

Woohoo, thanks guys got her back up and running. It was the spark plug. The FGman was right. I had spark from the bad one, but maybe it just wasn't good enough. Slapped a new NGK in and she fired right up in 3 pulls.

thanks to u all 4 the help
