Last fall when developing starting procedures in cold weather I suspected 
leaking injectors were causing flooding problems.  I sent my injectors to 
"Cruzin Performance" in Michigan to be flow tested and cleaned. 
http://www.cruzinperformance.com/  As it turned out, they were OK but it 
eliminated a possible cause.  Follow Cruzin's instructions on the website - 
you must make an appointment to have your injectors examined and cleaned! 
He does a flow check before and after cleaning and emails you the results. 
Plastic parts and "O" rings were replaced and the injectors painted.  A 
detailed report is included.  He does nice work.

FWIW, my cold starting problems were eliminated by this method:  1.  Fuel 
pump ON.  2.  Mixture RICH.  3.Crank engine.  4.  Cold start ON  5.  Cold 
start OFF when engine is running somewhat smoothly.  6.  Mixture AS REQUIRED 
as engine warms.
