    6.5TD motorhome starting problem

    Will L. wrote and asked me to list all the information on Post 13. Seems like all that you're asking me is answered on post 10 and post 13. Still waiting to hear Will L's idea on the answers on Post 13. There are no bubbles at all in the clear hose.

    Hi Fellows...too long getting back to you. I have the motorhome with the 6.5 TD. As you all have recommended I installed the fuel pressure gauge. I did find a gauge set up on Leroy Diesel where I bought the parts and bought the pressure gauge at O'Reilly. My problem still is the first start...
