B6000 Long crank times???

[406nick]

So my B6000 just recently finished up with the engine rebuild and I am having some hard starting issues. More specifically it tends to happen when its warm or if I shut it off after running it for awhile and then try to restart it.
Am I still dealing with rings not fully seated or could a timing issue effect this?
Do any of you experience long crank time issues?

Since the rebuild is brand new, you might check to see if you got your valves adjusted right. The rings should be ok. If it runs right when it starts, your timing is probably right as well.

Sounds to me like you may be getting some air in the fuel.

I will check my valves again to be sure (anyone have the spec in case mine are off?). As for fuel, that's what I was thinking also at first but I'm getting smoke out of the exhaust and it doesn't start too bad when it's cool.
