How many hours on your engine? How are you filters? Does it have glow plugs, a bad glow plug will cause hard starting. Dirty injectors will also cause this, but I think there would be more issues, like poor idle. With the smooth running agter start I don't think it is fuel related.

I have a C&C34 with a 3GM30 F. This motor runs well and smoothly, water circulates, no smoke. Recently it has been taking more and more revolutions to get it started. When it is turning over there does not appear to be anything going on, but when it starts its immediately smooth and normal (no coughing and spluttering). This leads me to think that there must be a leak in the fuel system which is allowing the fuel to drain back out of the injectors. The fact that it seems to start with all 3 cylinders suggests that the leak is before the injector pump. I cannot see any fuel leaking out at the supply pump or filter, so I'm wondering if anyone can suggest where I should start looking? Or what might cause this and not show fuel leaking or spraying out? I'd like to introduce some method into my troubleshooting! Thanks and regards Mike Jonesc&C34 SeanachaiOak Bay, Victoria.
