Detroit Diesel 8V-71 Start Problem in Engines Posted August 1, 2012 · Report reply Hi, My 71 GMC 5305 8V-71 needs a burst of starting fluid to fire up after it has been sitting for a few days, otherwise it wont start up. She will start fine when engine has been running-- don't know how many miles on her. Any thoughts on this problem?
