IFT - off topic but your incident reminded me of when I was running in a new engine in a Falke from an airfield to the north of Oxford, pulled carb heat & after a few moments the engine slowly ground to a halt, the starter only turned the engine slowly & would not re-start -diving for speed was not an option as I only had just enough height to glide back. Some while later the penny dropped & all was well again - I was flooding the engine with fuel as a result of pulling the choke! All handles colour coded from there on it
