hard start issue

[robert weinberg]

question - even if it's the check valve - do you have to remove the fuel pump to 
replace it?

if so, isn't removing the fuel pump a serious pain in the ass?  obviously, i'd 
replace the pump while i'm in there...

Possible fuel pump check valve.
Fuel leaks back to tank and has to be pumped back up.
