Sorry I haven't responded. I thought this thread was dead by now.
Gerry, I shut the gas off and gas the throttle once or twice and let her run for about 15 seconds. Then I shut her off with the key. In the morning, I pull the choke, hit the starter and after starting I open the gas line back up. I know I shouldn't have to do it this way but it does stop the HUGE POP on start and that makes me a lot happier.
