No, if it's up on the stands just leave it there. Getting the starter motor back on and working is the first priority. I was just thinking that maybe when you originally put the needle and seat valves in with the O-ring dry that they weren't seated properly and that let gas by on one of them, which caused gas to flow out the boosters, and that's what caused the flooding. But, we'll take a look at that after you get a new starter motor in. FWIW, here's a pic of my OEM starter. I have actually driven my car up on to a flatbed before using nothing but this starter motor. And if you stubbed your toe on it, it would break your ankle.
