With fuses and all four spark plugs and throttle held wide open it should not take more than 30-60 seconds to clear the engine. If is taking a lot longer then maybe you have got a leaking injector??

This usually work great on a stubborn flooded engine. Pull those fuses and crank in 30 second intervals untill fairly clear of vapors coming out the plug holes. Clean and throughly dry the spark plugs. A squirt of oil in both leading holes to bring up compression. Starting fluid sprayed in the air cleaner at the filter always helps too. Most important part though is last.
Make sure battery is nice and charged so you can get a good fast crank over. Also make sure all plugs and wires and connectors are all hooked back up with exception of those two fuses. Now while you are cranking over the engine with closed throttle have a buddy drop both of those two fuses in at the same time. Oh, and make sure the garage door is open cause it will SMOKE BAD. Let her run for at least 15 minutes. Tach not working after running is normal. Will come back to life at next restart.

HOpe that gets her going PappaSmurf
