hello Dk friends !! I have a 2003 60 Series Detroit 430 HP Vin 3LK77817 having some fuel issues. When it set for about 10 to 15 minutes after running its very hard starting. when you start it up it will fire right off and die then you have to crank on it foe a few and then it will finally take off and keep running. Any suggestions or ideas would be great thanks for any help in advance!!!!!!:party:

#1 problem for that is the check valve in the back of the head.Next most likely is injector seals.From there it could be an injector or one of the fuel lines catching air.Check the easiest first then go from there.

Thanks DDMECH !!!! Found also had an issue with some electrical wiring in the data link where the engine was throwing fault codes and it wasn't showing a check engine light after we got that issue straightened out then we were able to trouble shoot from there. Thanks again for the help!

check all the fuel lines from the tank all the way to the engine,any small leak will let air in when shut down but MAY NOT show any wetness as these are under suction when running...just a thought.
how many miles on this unit? you might want to replace the lines as they can become soft on the inside but still look good on the outside.
