Problems Starting

I have a 2002 Ex w/7.3 the problem is that in the morning it act as if has no fuel once I have primed it,It will start same thing if the truck sit for an hour or so. I have looked to see if there are any fuel leaks around the lines but I can`t seem to find any. Just looking for some suggestions.

Not familiar with how you "prime" a 7.3, but have you tried jumping out the glow plug relay, before you prime? When it does start, do you have a puff of white smoke? Had problems starting mine last year, with advice from the forum, diagnosed a bad GPR, replaced it, been great since.

Prime would be to spray starter fluid into the throttle body.No puff of smoke when it starts.
