<p>[QUOTE="jazzedman, post: 10618806, member: 237587"]Have a Cat C13 in the shop, another guy is working on it, will not start without ether. Once started it will run on it's own but will not accelerate(only gets up to 1000 rpms). Once you shut it off, it will not start again until you shoot it with ether. Doesn't have a primer pump so... We checked the check fuel pressure regulator on the bottom of the fuel filter housing by swapping it with another known good one, no change. No external leaks have been found. Also bypassed the tank and supply line by sucking out of a 5 gl bucket, ran fine and sucked the fuel right up. Any suggestions on what to try next? Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
