From asking a few mini experts on the mini forum, there should be an inertia switch that I might have set off. Would make sense I suppose, cause I can't figure out how I could have broke anything by hitting a bad bump. I'm guessing it simple will not allow the fuel or fuel pump to deliver to the intake, so when I sprayed a direct shot of ether into the intake it fired right up. Now I just have to find the switch they are talking about.

Look in the trunk...
i used to drive a 92 taurus, this switch that we're talking about was on the driver's side of the trunk. i went a little fast over some RR tracks once and set it off, took me about an hour to figure out what was going on

FIXED!! Yes the Austin Mini's have trunks,the new BMW's don't really have a trunk. The inertia switch was on the right side of the engine bay up against the firewall. Just a little black button that controls the fuel lines. Ahhh now I know how Vosko feels after getting his car to run smooth because of a wrong setting.
