Hello, I have a gas/oil weed wacker and I'm having problems getting it started! it seems to be getting gas as i have taken it apart and cleaned it and it seemed to be wet thru out. I'm thinking perhaps the spark plug? Can you please help me?

Spark plug is a cheap fix. Go for it.

Not to much to go on here. Are you getting any spark to the plug? Not to be funny, but are you sure you have the on/off switch set to on?

yes I have the switch set to where it is suppose to be and I will be getting a new plug in the next couple of days for it. I will let you know then.........Thanks

a little more info perhaps then.........the muffler spits out gas (I'm assuming it's flooded when this happens) while I'm trying to get it started, however once it's started the wetness goes away?
