Spraying too much starting fluid into it will flood it just as easy as too much gas. It only takes a couple seconds of spray. 5 seconds and it will be flooded for sure!

Re: Engine turns over, but wont start
Oh, it had way more than that....I left the old oil in it because I knew it would thin it out. I did that on the Ford too. We used a lot of starting fluid trying to start it, and the oil was like water. I changed it of course, and Ill change the oil here too. I just wanted to start it before it was all back together. Ill replace the fuel pump, charge the battery, add some fuel, and see if I can make it idle.

Still works the same even if it's Electronic, just that the ECU triggers the coil instead of points.
