In the fuel system, back near the main pump, is a check valve. It is there to retain fuel pressure between operating cycles. If it takes longer to get started, then maybe the check valve is failing and fuel pressure must be built up in order to run.

See if revving up to 1500 rpm or so right after starting makes a difference.

Oops, all my 240's have a tach, and maybe yours does not. Anyway, rev it up just a little, as the oil won't be well distributed early on.

Good Luck,

Bob
