hard starting on a hyster h280XL diesel Perkins 8 Cyl.

customer has to start unit with ether every morning and unit will run good all day even when they stop it during the day. But if not started with ether unit won't start.I bled air from system and also primed. plus removed both fuel filters and try'd using trans oil, still no start until shot with ether. Not too familiar with diesels. Need some info Thanks chopped
