So, if my chamber fouled my spark plugs, should I crank the engine with the plugs out to try and get the excess gas out?

He's got another thread about him "adjusting timing". He never said anything about using timing light. I think there is more to the story. How bad could you screw it up just by turning the distributor? Unless he turned it around about 2 or 3 times lol.

He didn't use a light.. Now it won't start... Members told him it might be flooded.... Hence the question...
