i won't worry about it. it won't hurt to overfill a little but it can cause damage if you overfill alot.

I don't think it should cause a problem starting the engine, unless you got it started then something happened and now it doesn't start. What's your starting problem...does it just turn over? Make sure you have fuel and spark getting into your cylinders, read the plugs...
