[C320-list] Trouble starting Yanmar 3GM

[Louis Friedman]

Hi all,

We have a 1999 320, previous owner had told me that the Yanmar when cold
would not start unless it was primed with the manuel fuel pump. He had
thought there might be a fuel leak.  I had our marina check it out(they are
certified for Yanmar engines) - they could not find any leaks and thought
it was fine. If the engine has been run within a day, it's fine. But more
than that and it needs priming to get fuel in the line - any other thoughts
on why this would be. Anyone have a similar issue?
