The engine started after only a couple of minutes the first time and then
started easily after that. As a matter of fact, it is stopping the engine
that has been curious. I will turn the fuel pump off but the engine will
continue to run for several minutes after the pumps are off (I can still
kill the system by flicking the coils/injectors off but I believe this can
lead to flooding and is "bad form"). Actually, the engine really sound nice
just before it does stop due to fuel starvation....yeah, I think I am
running really rich 'cause when I lean, it really smoothes out.
Chris, sounds like you have something expandable in your fuel system that allows it to continue running.  Is there a lot of rubber hose? air bubble in a fuel filter or length of sample tube (like to a fuel pressure sender)? a large pulse damper?
