Well try a new plug or one that you no works , fully charged plug heater , and make sure that your getting fuel and have compression . If you havent messed with the settings it should at least fire . RED

You may also want to check your needle. Pull it out and make sure its not bent or broken. It sounds to me like there is just way to much fuel comming in...

check your exhaust, this may sound stupid but i have made fun of may people for doing this, did you clog the stinger on your pipe to keep from dripping crap every where? if you did, your presure line is forcing gas into your engine an flooding it.

plugging the exhaust thing, yea that could be true, but check your settings, and if yo have the exhaust plugged up, it still should fire, it will blow out the plug, it did that on my maximum st once,make sure your LSN is set correct
