1000 is too high. The vacuum is probably responsible.

Charged the battery and now I can't get her to start, will crank but not start. I'm getting fuel and spark. This is getting frustrated

Pull the plugs, see if they are wet.

Next time you try and start it, hold the gas pedal on the floor.... see if that helps.

if it is running rich and flooding, how will holding it WOT help? I'm not trying to be a smartass, just trying to learn as much as I can.

Unscrew the pre cat o2 sensor from the pipe and see what happens.
