When I try to start it in the morning it just continuously cranks two to to three time in between 2 or 3 minute breaks in between. Then cranks up and starts and runs fine the rest of the day. What could be the problem?

Hi,

This sounds like a fuel pressure issue. Best thing to do is to test fuel pressure when you crank it first thing in the morning. It should be about 60 PSI after cranking. I would expect it to be low to 0 after sitting all night but should come up very quickly.

Let me know what it is and we can go from there. If this checks out then we will need to check for spark when it is not starting. Thanks
