Re: Hot start problem

You can remove the return hose on the accumulater, plug up at the tee 
and see if fuel is comming out of the accumulater when under pressure. 
If it is then it means that the diaghram is leaking and the acumulater 
is dead. If it doesn't leak then a pressue gauge can confirm that the 
system isn't holding rest pressure probably because of a bad check 
valve at the fuel pump, assuming no leaks.
