starts, may or may
not run properly once
started Weak battery Check battery, recharge or replace
Battery cables and connectionsClean and tighten connections, check voltage
drop on high amperage circuit
Starter or bendix/drive gears Check starter, inspect bendix/drive gears
Water in fuel system Check water separator/fuel filter, sample fuel from
fuel return manifold test port
Contaminated or poor fuel
quality Check or replace fuel supply
Air in fuel system Check for air in fuel supply manifold, refer to Fuel
System (vapor separator venting and fuel supply)
