I bought a nice 1008 last year and have had trouble with fuel bleedoff since I got it home. I ended up parking it last year due to the trouble I had with it, but I am now trying to resurrect it for hunting season.
Long story short when I go to start it after it has been sitting for days it fires right up then dies approximately 5-10 seconds later. Then you have to crank it over for 45-60+ seconds to get it to run again. After that it runs like a champ.
I installed a new lift pump. Nothing changed.
I installed a check valve in the fuel return line right by the lift pump where it turns into a hard line to go back to the tank. Nothing changed.
I have now installed another check valve in the supply line right before the lift pump where the hard line becomes a rubber hose. This actually resulted in a slight change. Now the truck was a little harder to start initially, then it ran for the normal 5-10 seconds and then died. Another 45 seconds of cranking on it and it runs fine.
Please help. I'm clueless as to where to go next.
