Discussion:
very long crank time before starting

it's a 2005 P6000 with a diesel 4 cylinder S/N AT14E00844, it seems like it's losing prime, if I prime it with the plunger it will get hard but within a min it gets soft again, Most of the time if I prime it it will start right up within a couple revolutions of the motor. I blocked of the line coming from the tank like a check valve but still gets soft, If i block off the line going to the injection pump it will stay primed. I've replaced the filter, housing due to the diaphragm being torn, lines going to and from the housing. It also seems to start better when it's ran for a bit. Just wondering where I could be losing prime or why it cranks so long when cold, it's inside a heated shop. Glow plugs seem to working and tested ok and getting voltage to all of them

For testing, run temporary clear tubing to look for air bubbles. Could be other problems causing the hard start. Injectors, injection pump, compression etc.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
