I'm back...following a long period of the CC's flawless performance.

She will start fine, run fine, and after some exertion, fails to start immediately:
(chuga, chuga, chuga, chuga, etc., for 5-10 seconds as the starter generator turns the engine over),
and fails to shut off (dieseling for 5-15 seconds sometimes) when the pedal is no longer depressed.

I suspect the carburetor. Perhaps the bowl is "run dry" by the dieseling. It isn't backfiring when it eventually starts but the dieseling is worry-some. I am certain that I have fed it, maybe still am feeding it alcohol laced gasoline (Ethanol).
