Yup! Zactly.
That little carb setup does not mix well at all. I have an MD, TD9, TD18, TD18A and TD18-182 and they will all suck that tank dry so quick it isn't funny.

Basically the cylinder is flooding with diesel and will not fire, and the injector will keep on pumping in fuel.
Of course all of this has to be done with tongue firmly to the right (okay left ifn you're a lefty) or else all is lost.
