I will assume that you had it hooked up to a garden hose through a flush kit.
These units have a wet exhaust. The only time you should have the water turned on is once the motor is running. If it's not then the water in the exhaust will flow into the motor through the exhaust ports. I think this is your problem. Not a head gasket.
The first thing you need to do is pull the black knob located on the exhaust manifold. This has a cable attached to it and will actuate the crankcase drain. Turn the motor over with it open, spark plugs out, this will get the water out of the bottom end.
Remove the air cleaner and pour some 2-stroke oil into the carb and turn the motor over again, Crankcase drain still open.
Now some gasoline to dilute the oil, drain open.
Things should be ok. Close the crankcase drain. Turn the motor over. Open the crankcase drain. Close again. Install pugs and try to start.
Don't run the motor for more than 30 seconds. Always start the motor before turning on the water , and don't crank the hose on, just a trickle. Always turn the hose off before stopping the motor.
Hope this helps.
