Why is gas shooting out of spark plug holes when cranking it over

Check your spark plugs if you smell gas then it's flooded. If not trouble shoot back to your gas tank.

Need to have the basics: air, fuel, fire. Does carb shoot gas down carb barrel when you pump the throttle? Do you have a good spark when turning over? Air you should have. Pull a spark plug or two and see if they're wet. Leave one out, connected to plug wire, and have base well grounded, crank it and see if you've a good spark (no gas fumes around when you do this!). Make sure plug wires are going to the right plugs.

Remove the spark plugs check for wet plug or crank engine water will shoot out spark plug hole that the head gasket is not sealing. If still will not turn you have a mechanical problem internal in engine. To fix the first requires cylinder head removal and gasket replacement

Pull the magneeto, sand the contact a bit, put it back on with proper gap and try it again.. If it's getting good spark then yer carb prolly has to be rebuilt

check spark on all cyl.could be fouled plugs,or bad coils make sure crank case isnt full of gas

SPARK PLUGS ARE INCORRECTLY FITTED

first check fuel, then check to see if it is fireing at the spark plug. if it is fireing at plug, check to make sure it is getting fuel. ( should be able to smell fuel on the electrode end of spark pug). If it is getting fuel, and spark, you may try removeing all spark plugs, then shoot some oil into each spark plug hole. Replace plugs, and try to start. If it still wont try to start, may be out of time. Does it pop, backfire when you are cranking the engine?

An engine only needs 3 things to start and run. gas/ fuel air charge. spark and compression. you can check all three with little to no tools. #1 put the key in ignition and turn it on DO NOT CRANK IT. just turn it to the on position. Then go under the hood and look for a fuel bleed off valve which has a cap most times on it that is IDENTICLE to a air fed valve for your car tire, that is exactly what it is oif the cap is on or off it lloks exactly like the car tire valve. Find that, stand as far back as you can from it. Make sure before you push the valve down (like you are letting air out of the tire) that all electric things are off and nothing to cause a fire is within 5 ft in any direction from that little valve bleeder. Press it down just a quick second. Gas should shoot out or up or in any direction of that valve about 4 ft. remember this so you take correct percuations to avoid fire and or getting gas in yer mouth or eyes. If gas shoots out under pressure we will move on the the next one spark. get some type of metal bar or anything like that (screwdriver) that will slip in between spark plug and the end of the wire. set it up so, if it is sparking. You will be able to see the spark jump from the end of the wire Or what you stuck in there to make the connector stick out closer to being able to see and ground it. it should be a very small amount from some type of metal. then while cranking the car you can see the spark jump and know you have spark. and last is compression, pull any spark plug out, put you thumb over the spark plug hole. have a friend turn the engine over. do not push your thunmb on to that hole just set it there.,this because if all is good the intake stroke can **** yer finger into the hole and do something real nice like peel yer finger nail right off. as the motor is turned over about every 4 times around it should **** quite hard on yer finger and opposite that, it should make a load air pushing nosie. Those are the 3 basic ways to check for the minimums a fuel injected car engine needs to run. If you have all of those then it gets more complicated. most often if they are all good, it will start and run, most on board diaognostics have a fail safe built in and will run with the very minimums. if it wont, you are more than likey missing 1 of the 3

Check the fuel pressure regulator,and the fuel return line all the way back to the fuel tank,one ,or the other is stopped up,or the fuel regulator is closed up.I would check the fuel return line first,this is the most likely problem.

Take all the spark plugs out, then try cranking it to see if you excess gas in the cylinders. You may want disconnect the coil pack so you you don't have a fire, in case you get gas spraying out of the spark plug holes. If you get gas out of the plug holes,then look at fuel pressure regulator. If you pull the vacuum line off and there is gas there the regulator is shot.
