heyguys.every time i go to start the dale after it sits for a few days it takes somme time to get it going.slmost like it looses the fuel prime.i prime it first and the return is flowing fuel the first shot in the tank fine.once warm though it starts up just fine.

It could be that your fuel settings are too lean. Do you have acces to an AFR meter or a dyno? Also, a bad coolant temperature sensor will cause that. If you have a D & M kit, look at your coolant temperature sensor after it has sat overnight..... it should read close to whatever the outside ambient temperature is at the time.
