My 350 B diesel dozer seems to lose its prime, if you start it back the next day it will start ok, but after that the longer it sets the longer I have to crank on it and use starting fluid, anyone have an ideal what to look for? Thanks

Hey Mike, one thing I ran into with mine was that the vent tube was plugged with gunk creating a vacuum on the tank, hence pulling the fuel back from the engine after shutdown. see if you can send a wire down the vent tube and it should come out the bottom rear of the tank....good luck

Hey I bet you may have something there

, I've noticed putting fuel in that the tank would have vacuum on it even if its been settting, I will check that tomorrow. Thanks cantbeatadeere
