[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1687792, member: 16453"] I would check the fuel pickup in the bottom of the tank, sludge can cause the lift pump to work hard to deliver fuel and when you shut it down it sort of sucks the fuel back a bit and when you start it up again after a long rest it has to work to get the fuel back up there. A quick but temporary fix would be to disconnect fuel line and blow air back in there to clear it. I had a similar problem with my Cat D4D after one track abruptly sunk in a spring and the lurch disturbed the sediment in the tank. Certainly worth looking at before making any adjustments.
