She wont start unless I pump the throttle 5 or 6 time? Whats wrong?
When I turn her over without pumping the throttle it seems like there is no fire. I guess that is my gasser experien showing through. After I crank it a bit the theaft light flashes off and on. Then if I pump the throttle she fires every time and right away. What's up?

Dang, I thought we'd get out of it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I have to admit, that is a stumper since pumping the peddle shouldn't be doing anything.

Good point. I have a 2001 PSD with about 60,000 miles. Put different fule in it today...same problem. Enough said?

On a limb, have you checked your fuel filter lately? Not sure why the pumping would help it, but definately sounds like the motor isn't getting fuel. How about motor oil level?

I have not checked the fule filter in a while. She runs fine once lit. I was two quarts low and topped in off last week. Why would low oil effect starting?

Bought two new batteries...no more problems. I am new to diesel the lesson for me is just because she turns over doesn't mean there is enough juice to start her up. Thanks for the help!!!
