Anyone have an idea what would cause C13 to take 3-5 attempts at firing before you get engine to fire. Only happens after grinder sits for a week or so. If we run it daily it fires right up. Have checked connections from tank to engine. Filters are all tight. Installed block heater but problem can happen if its 60 F or 28 F temperature out. Checked primer pump and good resistance when it fails to start. Operator panel does not show code.

wow that is hot but, what am seeing here is like you need to rechecked back your electric lines more especially ECM cuz it happen to me once and resulted with hard starting, and overheat at the same time. goodluck bro.
