I would check the oil to see how much fuel is in it.

Change the oil if it smells like fuel (even if it doesn't if it was mine). Fix the carb, float heavy, trash in the needle/seat, fuel pressure, etc.
Did it hydraulic when you tried to start it? Did it turn over? I had epoxy fall out of an intake port and fill a cylinder with water one time and didn't know it. Engine hesitated and then started before I knew what had happened. Bent a rod. Something to keep in mind.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Hydro lock would be when you are trying to compress fuel and the engine won't turn over. Sounds like a bad float and it just flooded until it shut off.
Without Data, you’re just another guy with an opinion.

Also,could it be possible that those 2 cylinders were not firing? Causing those 2 cylinders to flood? It might add to it but those cylinders would keep pushing out the fuel during the non firing... you have a float, N/S issue and possible power valve gasket issue.. with the one bowl full it sounds like a N/S issue

Thanks guys, I'll pull the carb and check get it all cleaned and checked out, one other thing, when I pulled the coil wire to turn it over the coil was arching from the + terminal to the coil tower, its an msd 6al and blaster 2 coil PLEASE, disable the ignition if you are clearing a flooded engine by cranking it and spraying fuel around or dealing with a fuel leak, etc. Bad things can happen.

Yes! And I now kno why... No nothing caught fire thankfully, but with the cool wire in hooked when I hit the key I saw a spark from the cool + terminal to the cool tower... Then proceeded to completely unhook the ignition
