Thanks, Peter.
I took it out and discovered how it worked today, but the question I 
have is how is it intended to work? When I open the valve and lock it 
in, the engine won't start--seems to flood. When I push it all the way 
in the engine starts and runs well, but there is emission of some sort 
-like vaporized fuel-from the valve handle opening. If I pull the valve 
back out, the engine stalls immediately. Can you tell me how the AED is 
supposed to operate, and if this sounds like the AED is faulty?

Thanks,

Peter
