...to consider, if and when you get spark again.

You may now have a loss of compression from the no-start attempts with fuel but no spark. Because the unburned fuel may have washed the oil from the cylinder walls.

So it might be a good idea to pull the plugs to put an ounce or so of oil into each cylinder, then spin it over for a few seconds to spread the oil, when you think it's ready to run again.
