[C320-list] ENGINE FUEL PRIME

[sail-ability sail-ability]

  I'm having an issue with my 3GM30F 1998 engine on my 320. After 
sitting idle for a time the engine refuses to start. The solution, I've 
discovered, is to prime the fuel system using the pump on the RACOR fuel 
filter. Whilst operating the pump. I can hear a hissing sound of air 
escaping from somewhere on the starboard side of the engine. Thus far 
I've been unable to discover from where it is coming. I've tightened 
fuel fittings and can see no fuel leaks or see any bubbles coming from 
fuel fittings. My next attempt is to replace the secondary fuel filter 
on the engine, needs doing anyhow.
Thoughts?
