Thanks George,
I just pulled the cold start wire, air cleaner off, and vice gripped the fuel line to the cold start. Not the problem. After two minutes, the car died. I did open the throttle a crack to get air flowing past the butterfly valve and the rpms were about 1K.
The garage filled up with blue smoke -gas- and now I have to wait for the fumes to get out of the garage and then wait for an hour or two after closing the doors to get the heat back up to tolerable. 35F is not my ideal temperature, these old fingers don't like to operate in the cold.
I am going to cut open the large wire bundle behind the instrument panel where I hope to find a burned wire. The Ebrake warning wire shorted and melted at about the same time this problem started to happen.
I will keep you posted,

Klaus

PS Have fun with your new "toy".
