Hard cold start

[Wazarager]

Hi all,
First post here, have a 98 150hp Ficht 150FSXECR it has developed a cold start problem, initially starts fine, then into gear dies, then hard to start. After about a dozen tries it fires beautifully and performs flawlessly for the rest of the day. Fuel bulb is firm, plugs about 75hours. All comments appreciated.
Cheers
David

Check fuel pressure, check for fire on all cylinders when fails to start.
