From: Who says "Nothing is impossible" ? I've been doing nothing for years.
Update, I went out yesterday with the intention of taking off the front bowl and holding the metering block against the bowl and seeing where the gas was leaking.
I first pulled the number one plug and confirmed it was firing. The engine sputtered a bit like it was going to fire. This was the first time in over a week this has happened.
I went around and looked in the front sight window and sure enough the level was up to where it should be.
I went to start it and I'll be damned if it didn't just fire up. It still a mystery why the front bowl was empty on many previous attempts.
Thanks for all the comments and ideas

I also hope the cyliders didn't get washed down with gas from all the flooding.
I am going to take the intake off and fix the leak and hopefully I can find the root cause of the problem and will post what I find.
