Like the others mentioned tough, it's NOT good to start an alky engine unless you can get the water temp up to about 210 before you cut it off as there's not enough heat to help dry it out otherwise. One more thing I do is to prop open the throtle blades to allow inside the cylinders to dry out also. I've pulled more than one alky engine down and found rust pits in the cylinder walls and valve seats. A little WD-40 also helps down the intake while rolling the engine over with the starter.
This is a quote from Ken on your website under Fuel Systems
You know George after reading some of the post on your website i can see where you are coming from, like this one from your buddy Ken!!!!
I would never dream of getting my water temp up to 210 degrees for any reason.
