That's good, simple advice. Patience. Wait and see if it dries out as suggested. For clarity, you are saying you checked for spark and you are getting it? When you are trying to start, the starter cranks but the engine does not fire up?

If it does not fire up after drying out, go back through the work you did, checking. Redo it. See if something you overlooked suddenly shows itself.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
