One of our 81's is hard to start after it has been sitting for a few days or a week. If you drive it every day, it starts right up in the morning, almost stalls, hunts, and finally finds a comfortable idle. When warmed up, it starts up immediately and idles fine without hunting. But after sitting for a week it takes a lot of cranking to get it to start. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
