Did you kill the engine?

My has the habit of flooding from time to time, if I kill the engine. Generally, I let it sit and it'll start back up given time...

Might not be applicable to you...

Can you give us a more elaborate description of what was going on?

Most likely electrical if it doesn't crank at all...

Check cap and rotor, plugs, check it all with a multimeter. Could be the coil...

Any number of things really, but those are some to try.

It's most likely the main relay, they're known for going bad in preludes and I've already had to replace mine. You could either get a new one or if you're handy with a soldering gun you could redo all of the connections.
