weird (flooding?) cold start problem 200

Hiya,
My '76 245dl does the following: on cold start (no pedal, just turning the key) I get a nice fire up, 1500 rpm for about 3 seconds, then coughing, sputting, and the engine dies. The second attempt is usually less successful. If I give it ANY pedal during the (brief) nice idle, it seems to sputter and die quicker. If I start with a bit of pedal pressure, it doesn't even get to that nice, brief idle point. On the other hand, warm starts are easy.

It sure feels like flooding to me. Since my head is immersed in my B18 rebuild, at the moment, I'd really appreciate the lowdown on this CIS cold start problem. My head can handle only so many engine details at a time!

thanks,
Tom in Charlottesville
