My 84 Westie won't start.  It seems to be flooding out regardless of
where I set the accelerator peddle.  It will crank, kick a bit, barely
idle, then die.  When it does start it cranks, coughs just a tiny bit
then takes right off.  Another clue: it push starts quite easily.

It's been suggested that the starter is sucking too much juice so that
the ECU isn't getting enough voltage.

Theories?
