needs air, fuel and spark. You have spark, make sure air filter is not clogged and the fuel pressure is up there; could also be water in fuel... dump fuel from filter in a glass bowl and take a look... replace filter and flush fuel system if water found. Injectors might need cleaning...
When I have a problem starting my saw what I do is;
Remove the spark plug
Pour about 5ml (one teaspoonful) of fuel into the opening
Wet the electrode end of the spark plug (The spark gap) with fuel
Replace the plug and try to start the saw.
The fuel you poured into the spark plug opening should ignite and cause the saw to start. The process may have to be repeated 2 to 3 times but should get it going. Don't be tempted to pour any more than the 5 ml of fuel in or you'll flood the saw.
I'm very surprised pouring water onto the engine makes it start, if anything you are pouring water into the sensors, electrical wiring and surrounding the spark plugs. Water and electricity shouldn't mix, ever.
Check the distributor cap for any cracks - replace if there is.
Check a spark is getting to the spark plugs by holding an HT lead (one by one) to the engine block, crank the starter and if you see a spark that lead is OK, repeat for the other leads. If there is no spark, change the coil or coil pack.
Once you have established a spark then it could be fuel related. Check the injectors are wet after you have pumped the gas pedal. Hold the throttle wide open and try and start the car, if it starts then you timing could be out.
Adjust the timing with a timing gun.
I hope this helkps you and please vote for me and please don't pour any more water on your engine :)
Hi, first , pour about 2/3 cup of water into the ice maker . If if freezes
, and dumps , replace the water valve. If it does
not dump the cubes , replace the ice maker. After
pouring the water into the ice maker , remove the bottom kick panel ,
and clean the bottom coils , of dust , lint , pet hair , etc , as this
will raise the freezer temp . An ice maker has to be 5 degrees , to
operate , correctly . If ice maker starts working , after cleaning the
coils , GREAT ! ( it does happen ) .
Pour about 2/3 cup of water into icemaker . If it dumps , replace the water valve . If it doesn't , replace the icemaker . Your icemaker may have the white flap arm with a spring attached between the arm and bottom of the icemaker . Check that spring , to make sure both ends are seated . Ocassionally , the top of the spring (fitting into the bottom of the icemaker ) comes out , and has to be pushed back into the hole .
Take a 4 inch piece of 14 gauge insulated wire and strip 1 inch of insulation off each end. Bend the wire into a U shape.Remove the plastic cover from the front of the icemaker. Insert the bare ends into the terminals marked T and H on the face of the icemaker. The wheel should move and dispense the ice into the bucket. If it does not move and drop the ice replace the icemaker.
Pour about 1/2 cup of water into ice maker . If it dumps , replace the water valve . If doesn't dump , replace the ice maker . Also make sure the coils are clean of dust , lint , etc...

If you have air fuel and spark, you have everything it takes UNLESS! That wire did a no no like shorting out. Where did the wire go? and what color was it?.
The Icemaker may not be dumping the cubes after they freeze then more water pours in on top of them. The icemaker has a heater which turns the cubes loose and allows them to dump. You may find someone to work on an icemaker, not sure. If this is the case, I would replace the icemaker.
