Hi,
Still think you may have oil in the cylinder, and probably ruined the air filter. Remove the plug and then try the starter. Hopefully the engine will spin over and blow the oil out of the engine. If it just whines, you may have disconnected the battery and connected it back backwards; pinion is pulled down when starter spins backwards.
Check air filter for oil or gas contamination; if there, it is ruined.
Peace,
Clarke
