how long was it sitting without running? could the needle & seat have dried up in the float bowls, not making a good seal to shut off?
was the ass-end sitting up on top the closed tailgate?
Rotax is famous for flooding if the ass end sits higher then the front (angled downward).

Call your friendly BRP dealer and replace the needle and seat assemblies (the ones in it are viton tipped). There is a heavier brass needle and seat (I think they were used in the older Mach 670's). Better starting, and don't flood as easily. Solves the pointed downhill problem.

adjusting the floats correctly will also help the downhill problem. the 583's were notorious for this, tbut the 670X's also had issues.
