Welcome to the hobby and good luck. With all these tips you should enjoy a trouble free return journey.

The M561 is a rare item over here, worth quite a bit (at least £10,000) BUT, there is just no money around the hobby at this point in time..and nothing but nothing is selling hardly, and we see the same vehicles re-appearing on sales sites..to no avail. I did manage to sell a jeep, and the F350...

I also am curious for the story behind that avatar. And, It does sound filter, pressure loss related. Which would account for starting after standing. Run a pipe or tube straight from the (or any tank) and see if it runs correctly full time.
