Default starting problems (or worse)

I have a johnson 25hp manual start 2 stroke outboard that won't start.
Also fuel (blackish in color) comes out from behind the propeller and
from one of the holes in the leg when I use the pull cord. I'm using
new fuel 50:1 mixture.

Have I flooded it or worse? Has it something to do with the fact that I
ran it (for only 10 seconds) before I left without water running
through it? (Dummy)
