      Bought this one with 4400 hours from Gov Planet. It cranks but will not start. Fuel leaks from the return side rail. More importantly, the starter runs but gets SCARY hot. Do I need a starter? This unit needs to go into backup service for my house ASAP. Any suggestions or referrals to a competent repair facility in or near Las Cruces, NM would be appreciated.

      Before attempting to start any of the auction-purchased units, the entire fuel system must be cleaned thoroughly. All lines blown out, all filters changed. Could be many things going wrong. Check to make sure fuel is getting to each injector. Starter probably hot from over-cranking.
