Hello All.. I seem to be having and engine “hard start problem”. It’s a 1987 Mack superliner with 350 in it. (E6 or E7) can’t remember. The engine is completely rebuilt with less than 100 miles on it (rebuilt heads,turbo and injectors too). The only thing that I did not rebuild is the pump. So anyway here’s the problem. If I let the truck sit for a few days it takes a lot of cranking to get it started. Usually kills my battery’s and turns into a long process after that since I have to charge them back up and keep cranking. But when It starts she runs like a champ. And I can turn it on and off all day and it will fire up immediately. In the summer if I would run the truck every day it would start pretty quick too. The problem seem s to be when I let it sit for a long time. I personally think that somehow the fuel must be draining back into the tank. And that’s why I have to crank it so much so I can fill the lines again. Is this possible? Also on the injector pump, a couple of the fuel lines that go in to the pump appear to be leaking.(not bad but its leaking. I can see the stain) I might have to replace them because I believe they are already threaded all the way in. could this be it? Could it be that the fuel filters are plugged? I never changed those either. (long story). I bought this truck as a project and never even got to use it. Since the economy hit me pretty hard. It’s been sitting for 3 years now and I’m ready to finish her up now and put it to work but first I have to fix that problem before I go ahead and put new battery’s in it. Do you think my pump need to be rebuilt? When its running it seem s to running great. Thanks in advance and sorry for the long story.
