RE: [DML] Starting problem

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Roland, A few things you need to check or figure out.
#1.Is it the original fuel sending unit and is it accurate.
#2 Is the fuel pump the original one. If so then it may be worn to the point
it won't prime easily unless there is more fuel in the tank. Also the fuel
screen in the old pick up baffle may not be flat on the tank causing it to
suck some air. There could also be a tear in the pickup hose.
#3. Is the accumulator the original, If so then the hot start problem may be
showing up because of the age.

My feeling is if you had put at least 1/2 tank of gas in the car then the
lower part of the pump would not have to prime and it would start. Again,
Due to the age and wear it may start having a pressure problem.
Very common.
