In addition to Gordo's advice, shut off the fuel at the sediment and pull off the air hose at the carburetor. Open the throttle wide and let it air out a while before attempting to restart.

When you do go to start don't reopen the fuel shutoff until AFTER the engine fires. Now open it slowly while listening/watching for signs it's flooding again.

If it does show it's flooding again a few gentle taps on the carb bowl will often clear it up. Otherwise you'll need to go inside the carb to find/correct the cause.
