TM1000 Won't Start!

Rode a few miles up the trail today it was very icy and was heating up. I pulled over let it idle for a minute and then shut it off. BS'ed for a few minutes and then it would not restart. It has spark and fairly wet plugs but no fire. Tried new plugs, tried carb spray down the plug hole, tired at no throttle, 1/4 throttle and full throttle. Not even a sputter, there is smoke coming out of the exhaust Y so it seems something is trying to burn? It has a decompression head and ~ 80 to 85 pds of compression, it this to low? I have seen the thread on the temp sensor and have not tried that but after 2 hours and carb spray would not think it would still be an issue, am I wrong? Has 38-40 psi of fuel pressure when pulling. Fuel and spark but no fire :confused:

They seem to flood like this once in a while. Disconnect fuel pump plug ( red and black wires into gas tank) and pull over until it starts. You may have to pull spark plugs and pull over to get gas out of cylinders and dry off plugs. Let it idle for a while (even until it stalls because of no fuel) this will clean up unburnt fuel. Your crankcase is probably full of unburnt fuel. Plug fuel pump back in and it should start and run.
