RE: [DML] Digest Number 1149



David is right on this one. 99% sure it would be the accumulator. I had the
same problem, replaced the accumulator, and it fixed it. However, it seems
odd that you should have to wait several hours... 

I would also check the thermotime switch. If you smell a lot of gas it could
be stuck closed, flooding the engine. Simply pull the electrical plug on the
switch and try to start it. If it turns over, replace the switch.
