I had this and followed the guide and it did work.
The FD does not like a short burst of life, you really need to have it running for more than a minute or so to prevent engine flooding.

Did you take the plugs out and the fuse and then turn the engine over before putting the plugs back in?

Actually, that\'s not strictly true. Fresh engines are fine being started up for a few seconds. I can start mine, shut it off immediately, and it\'ll still start next time fine. Done this several times now. Not a problem.
