Yet another question

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxx>]

I've pulled my dying starter and mailed it off. In the meantime, I 
thought I'd check the oil to make sure there was no coolant or 
anything in it since I changed the head gaskets.

Well, out comes 6.8 quarts of oil, and 7 quarts of gasoline. Now I 
understand that when you're cranking, and the car isn't starting, 
it's still pumping gas but isn't that a bit excessive? Especially 
since I had unplugged the cold start valve to avoid flooding it?

I ask this question because I suspect that one reason it wouldn't 
start after putting back together is because it was being flooded out.

I welcome your opinions. Thanks,

Rich
