    carb is probably full of fuel... loosen the jubilee clip, spin the carb over (so the cable points down) the fuel/water will drain off... put the carb back upright, tighten the jubilee... will need a GOOD few kicks to refill with fuel (alternativly pull the vac pipe off, suck it for a few seconds and the carb will refill) then it should start, if not then its an electrical issue, or all the water your engine ingested has cooked the barrel.
