[DML] Re: Starts after sitting overnight

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

Sounds like the classic fuel-accumulator problem to me. Has it ever 
been replaced?

turn over unless you spray a burst of starting fluid, then pow! it 
fires right up.  It can sit for a few hours and fully cool down and 
it still has this starting problem.  If you wait overnight, however, 
that is long enough and it starts beautifully.  Is this likely a 
spark plug problem or a fuel problem?   Or a hot start problem (even 
though cooled down)?   Thanks Curt.  P.S - I started to replace the 
spark plugs because it was dropping a cylinder when raining (splash 
interference) and that problem was solved with only one new plug and 
it has also improved this starting problem somewhat.  (I've only put 
one new plug in - working toward the other 5 - I do things 
gradually. :)
