3.0 OMC 1988 Bayliner---Wont kick over...

[kscpa]

I have had the carb rebuilt, tune up, new water/fuel separater. I have a spark--- the fuel is flowing but I cant get it to kick over. Worse part is I am a woman with limited mechanical ability. A male friend told me to get carb kit and get it cleaned but that did not work. It did sit for a year---but I did have it winterized and carefully stored.
I only had half a tank of gas when I stored it---but I had put stabilizer in it when I stored it. I put 5 gallons of super in it a week ago. I poured gas in the carb and it still wont kick..It sounds like it wants to kick but I cant get it to--..can anyone help?????
Desparate!!

Do ya have good spark??? Are you sure??

Try a little starting fluid.. Bet ya flooded it pouring fuel down the carb..
I have known a few people who burned themselves real bad doing that by the way..

Open the throttle all the way up.. Thats a good way to start a flooded engine
