Flooded 4000Q! What gives?

[ERIC GLANZ <UCSEDG@uwplatt.edu>]

I just went out to my car to go to lunch today, and my 4000q would not start! 
The car would turn over all day, but no firing from the motor.  Acting on a
hunch, I pulled out fuse #13 (fuel pump) and cranked over the car.  After about
5-6 revolutions, the car sputtered to life, along with a nice cloud of unburned 
gas, and then died again.

I put the fuse back in, and the car runs fine again...  

Anyone have any ideas on what is going on here?????
