Re: no cold starts

["Allyn" <amalventano1@home.com>]

I dunno, its doing something weird. On a cold start after only 2 secs of
cranking i can smell fuel. Its not leaking anywhere, and doesnt do it when
started hot. I may have some kind of funky failure of the thermo-time
switch. Now im all confused :P
