I had a similar problem with the '78 Spider and it was indeed the cold 
start solenoid. I did fix A above ... the shop tried fix B and there was 
no setting, no matter how fussy he got, that would completely prevent it 
from flooding in all circumstance. Wiring up a cut out switch gave me the 
right option.
