[DML] Re: Start, Die, No Start

["ctdmc83" <nmastrocinque@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Everyone, ALL IS WELL.  I think Mr. Hervey's assessment was 
correct.... it simply "loaded up with fuel and died".  I turned the 
key this morning and it started perfectly.  I just made sure to idle 
it a little high (1000-1200 rpm) for about two minutes and then it 
settled into its usual 950 rpm idle with no problems.  I appreciate 
everyone's suggestions and will search the list for how to unplug the 
cold start valve per Mr. Herey's suggestion in the event this ever 
happens again.  Thank you all again!
