SHE LIVES!!!
got it running with the help of my 10 year old:
no smoke or noises and sounds strong.
funny story, had her start it the first time. it started right up but i heard a loud whining noise coming from the engine. first thing to pop into my mind was the IP. pinched the return line to kill it but it kept running. after what seemed like minutes, it died but i heard the starter still engaged. the whining was the starter! i went over the starting procedure with her thoroughly this time and it sounded great. lesson learned: don't expect someone to know something that you didn't tell 'em.

it was definitely the IP pumping too much fuel.I'm starting to think you need to try a known good IP
