no start problem

hey guys i have a 7.3 idit only has 135,000 on it and for a while after you ran it and it was up to temp and let it sit for 20-40 mins it would crank but not start....you would have to give it some ether to get it started...but now it doesnt start at all even with the ether. it does have a small fuel leak and i was going to the shop to get it fixed the night it quit....any thoughts as to why this will not start( i also think i fried the starter from cranking it for so long

The fuel leak might have put an air bubble in it. Where is the fuel leak? Is it after the filter?
