and CLEAN YOUR PLUGS because they're fouled and that's why your car won't run

Really, you'll be amazed.

just because you deflooded it doesn't mean your plugs aren't caked with oil/gas/soot/carbon from the cranking that didn't get combustion.

We tried again today but found out that the starter was fried.

yeah I guess I can use bigger grounds but we grounded everything with jumper cables so it was fine for the time being.

We had to torch the plugs to get the scoot or whatever out. Put gas in the plug holes. almost got it started on a dead starter so monday I will try again. I have spark and Fuel obviously. Looks like all I need is a better starter and it will start monday. Ill let you know
