I had the fuel run into the cylinders twice on my ss with FCR's, and once so far too the person I sold it to. The starter clicks and then nothing. The thing to do is turn off the fuel on the bottom of the tank if you are going to store it or trailer it. When you trailer it the vibration lets the fuel run past the float needle valve and fill the cylinder. If it happens again pull the plugs and turn it over by hand, fuel will spray out of the plug holes. Don't use the starter, you don't want spark with the loose fuel, unless you need the insurance money.

If you have checked all the electrical issues with the ss, especially the starter solenoid and the starter terminal boot. Fuel hydrolocking is your best bet.
