Help needed. Engine won't start after car cleaning.
It was dirty after running Saturday in dust and some mud. So I first sparyed it with garden hose, then cleaned with blower, then used green foam to clean more, then cleaned with blower, then went with WD-40, then cleaned with blower, then went with silicone spary and blower... Protected filter.
Then broght it Sunday to another track but it woun't start.
There is spark. Even tried new spark plug...
Stock carburator. Put LN to stock. No luck.
When came home noted fuel puddel in the trunk. Probably came from pipe?
After drive home tried to start - no luck

Hopefully I didn't kill the engine...

Thank in advance.

They are fidgety little things. My craftsman weed whacker loves the fast pulls on choke, it won't even pop with slow pulls. My 30degree truck will flood instantly if I pull fast on choke. Like I said, somehow the pop can be very subtle on my 5th scale truck. It still seems as if it runs rich too, but temps at the head are a little higher than I would like. It's a clone motor and my first motor.
 
Just last evening I went to start my truck after fixing the leak at the exhaust and sure enough, it flooded. No pop from a few slow pulls on choke and eventually oil was spitting out the pipe. Sometimes I doubt it even needs a choke.
Today I put in a new spark plug and discovered I have no spark. My coil may have taken a poop
