ke70 trouble

Hey all, I have a ke70 corolla I bought for 140$ and I was flogging it down some dirt roads for a while but turned it off after and now it doesn't start. The motor turns over and there is a spark. I have a feeling it may be flooded as my mate went and pumped the accelerater like 10 times when it was off. What do you all think>
It needs a new radiator. How much will one cost from a wrecker?
thanks
Gavin

Read the posts next time. 
As suggested, check to see if the plugs are wet. Check the fuel bowl level gauge thingy.... There should be a little window on the side/front of the carby, to show the fuel level in the carby bowl, if it's heaps full of petrol then it's most likely flooded. Easy/quick fix, undo the drain nut on the front of it, or at least that's where I think it is. Fuel will piss out until the carby is drained, put the plug back in and give it another go.
Another thing, could be vapor-lock, 4K's are good at that... I bought a fuel pump because of it one day. 
Let it sit for a while, try again tomorrow. If it still won't go, come back.

thanks guys. Im going to take the tools, take off that ugly air filter ont he top and drain the carb. I dont know what else I should do but I guess I'll figure it out. Then i'll prolly buy a radiator from a wrecker. Its worth it.... the car is great fun even on cement roads.... its handles well for what it is surprisingly
thanks
