RX7 FC Dosn't start after fill coolant.

Hi, my FC dosn't start after just fill some coolant and drain the air from the cooling plug, i waited a day after this happends the first time to see if it was just flooded and still dosn't start, here is a video where u can ear the sound of the engine trying to start. Never happened before.

Edit: Finally started, with a big cloud of smoke coming out of the exhaust, mostly white, could it be the surplus of gas because it was flooded or some problem in the cooling system? I'll check the spark plugs as soon as possible anyway.

Blue smoke - Oil burning

White smoke - Water/coolant 'burning'....it’s steam. Often accompanied by a distinctly sweet smell.

Black smoke - Fuel burning (running rich, flooded)
