I have to crank for about 10 minutes but it finally starts.

Another guy comes along and says " I think your valves are sticking need a
valve job.
Finally anotlher guy says sounds like your running on one cylinder. It is
probably your fuel injection to that olther cylinder. So he took a wrench and
proceeds to unhook one of the fuel injectors. The motor stopped. So it seems
the other fuel injector is stopped up. reccomend taking them both and having
them rebuilt. In the process of doing that now .

Has anybody else had this problem. Does sthat seem reasonable. After the motor
starts and runs for awhile have no problem starting it.

Thanks for any feed back
