I know the general direction but when even when I line it up right it still wont start, the only thing else I can think of is flooded, so push the pedal all the way down then try to start? wont that just flood it more?

Just adjusted it, thats why I dont understand why it is not starting, ok i tried the pedal to the floor thing it didnt help much, but i've been cranking it for a long time and no start so the chamber has to be flooded right?
