Do you mean to tell us you’ve filled up your engine with so much gas, it won’t turn over??

If that’s the case, remove all the spark plugs and then try to crank it over. Let it sit and air out for a day. Rebuild your carburetor in the meantime because it has a stuck float and filled the engine with gas. And if you don’t fix it, that will happen again.
