I have always wanted to do that with a 1/2 cordless impact driver until I discovered Starting Fluid. Did you blow the main jet out? My best Friend sold his auto parts store but kept the small engine repair and parts and I spend a lot of time watching him. 'Phone Rings'..."hi this is Mel how can I help you?.Mower won't run? Bring it in and leave it and I'll check it out. could be the disgrontifacator." Hangs up and says it either water in the main jet or a oiled air cleaner from turning it on the carb side. Customer drops it off and leaves. 15 minutes and it's running.
Bil does small engine repair also. And like his father did before him, I think he makes more money with that than his day job.
