Default 89' v12 FPR flooded engine / no start

Anyone had this before?

V12 FPR diaphragm failed spectacularly while driving, flooded the intake manifold (or both?) with gasoline until it spewed out the filterbox - engine stalled and now won't start despite having a new starter.

I would remove all the plugs, air filter boxes and let it stand for a couple of days.

Yep.

Took 4 days to dry out, just as well the fridge was full of Amber fluid,

I also jammed the throttles wide open, piece of wood, whatever, and that was just me for that warm and fuzzy feel I needed.
