Deanmitchell78 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) My Mack 1997 CH613 will not start without the assistance of starting fluid. It started getting hard to start a couple of months ago, starts got longer and longer, then one day we parked it to eat lunch and it would not start. I think it has the E7? any suggestions?

alex g Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Could be a few things. Check your fuel lines for pinholes. There's a check valve on pump it could be letting fuel pass. Can you prime it to start it?

Deanmitchell78 Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 no can't prime it to start, even put a new primer pump in it, but no luck. i'm changing all the fuel lines in the morning, so we'll see what happens. Thanks!
