OK, I'll bite. How do you get the fuel into the cylinder with the spark plug removed?

That is a good question.  Maybe he was talking about that fuel injected -FJ?  :)

Timing has much to do with the success of a rain dance.

Normally you get the mixture into the cylinder before removing the plug, so when you pull the plug it'll be noticably wet and you can rule out the fueling, probably.

At least that's how I do it.  The first few cranks are usually more than a little smelly, doubly so if you've have the ether out.  Once the air has cleared so to speak, more fuel won't be going in in any significant amount unless something's pretty wildly wrong.... but if things weren't really wrong, you wouldn't be checking why it wasn't running.

Just sayin to be careful.  It's up there with covering the empty plug holes so you don't drop the @#$%@#$% screws from the throttle connector down the cylinder.
