I have a JCB tele-handler forklift that from the begining has had starting trouble. The air filter and fuel filters are good, but when the engine is warm, it refuses to start. We have to use a "gas rag" to get it started. I am no diesel mechanic, so I don't know what might be the problem. When you go start it in the morning, it does just fine (except that right now in Baghdad, it is 100+ alot of times here at base). Does any one have any suggestions on this. I know this is not towrig related, but this seems to be where the diesel guys hang out.:smokin:

sorry, I cant help you with your questions, but this is a new diesel from JCB and Ricardo being used for a land speed record:
