  1. i have a problem with my 340. when the car stand for a night (or about 7 -8 hours) the engine dont start.
    i have to use start pilot spray to start the engine.

    when the engines running and i stop it to start it again it works directly. but when the car stand still for 7 - 8 hours i have to use the spray again.

    what could it be?
    :Do No:

    I had a similar problem, turned out it was a pinhole leak in the fuel line-had to crank forever to get it going! I found it when converting to electric fuel pump-it really leaked under pressure.
    Nice car!
