Md-88 first officer was doing a xbleed start. He had a no start. He switched igniters without clearing the accumulated fuel from the engine. After ignition occurred, he did not close the start lever, and did not keep the starter engaged. This resulted in a tailpipe fire and an engine over temperature.
