Hmm...if it's getting fuel and spark, it should start up especially if it ran ok when you parked it. Maybe it's just flooded and needs to dry out. Are all the air intake passages clear? Could it be possible that the computer has the wrong timing set for the engine? That could cause the backfiring. Other than that, I'm kinda stumped. You could try disconnecting the battery for an hour or so to reset the computer and try it again, then crank it with the pedal floored to help the flood clear out. Any other suggestions, anyone? Good luck on it!
