My 244 sometimes takes a lot of cranking to start the engine, and when it finally does, it does not catch on fast, it seems to struggle to get going. This appears to happen more on hot days (after sitting in the parking lot at work all day). In the morning when it is cool it seems to start fine. Any suggestions on where to look? Although the starter appears to work properly, is is possible for the starter to take too much of the amps available and therefore not allow the fuel pump to build up pressure quick enough? Or is it possible for the fuel pump to be requiring more amps than it is suposed to? I have the feeling the problem is around that area.
