Anyone seen This problem before? When cold it starts easy. After use if i shut engine off, and try to start it the engine is hard to start. All filters are new/clean. And the diesel tank is clean

    Is it a - 6e with zexel injection pump if so seen it many times your injection pump needs to be over hauled. A quick and easy test is after warming up machine pour 5 gallons of cold water over the injection pump and if it starts easier the injection pump is in trouble

    Had similar issue. Diagnosed same way as Ireland mentioned, but I used bit of start spray first. It starts just after first bang. But if you don't "help" it, you may crank all you want, until it cools down, it won't start up.
