With the air cleaner off, hold the engine RPM at 2000 RPM or higher and dribble the water from the Dixie cup, which you've pinched to look like a spout on top, into the carb or throttle body. Go slowly and the engine will bog a bit. Stop and let it recover. Repeat until the cup is empty.
A spray bottle is easier. Is how i did it. She runs smooth how minus the fact i need to do my spider web building SYE

Drove to work in the snow. Drove home in snow. Starter died once home
Pulled starter and had to drive my wifes Kia Optima in the snow, it sucks. But made it to Advance Auto and back and replaced it. Jeep is now starting and running like a champ.
