Hi Chris,
I don't know about your specific engine but for my old Yanmar 2QM20 with no 
glow plug I put the throttle to greater than 1/2, turn it over and she starts.  
I'll then throttle down to idle put her in forward and give it a nice warm up 
under load.   
To stop it, as advised in the users manual, I throttle down until it stalls 
then turn off the key to stop the buzzing.  I do have a decompression handle 
but I never use it and I'm able to start in below freezing temperatures; 
however, I'll often run my diesel heater in the cabin a bit first to warm up 
the boat before starting in the really cold.
Before I knew to put the throttle up so high to start it I burnt out the old 
starter trying to start on a cold day.  After that, I replaced with a new 
starter and beefed up the wires form the battery to the starter.  Now she 
starts no problem.
Cheers,  Jeremy

Hi Chris, On my girlfriend's boat, she has the same engine. When starting we 
set the throttle to about 1/4 to 1/3 then start cranking. Sometimes I'll engage 
the compression release to get the engine spinning a little faster (about 10 
secs) then release it. Another thing we do is flush the engine with fresh water

I have a quick question about the specifics of starting a Yanmar SB8 single 
cylinder engine. The previous owner also disconnected the kill switch and 
turned off the engine with the key so i want to reattach the cable this spring.
Is there a specific amount of throttle to set it at prior to turning it over? I 
think I remember by old Volvo-Penta had to be positioned at 3/4 open and then 
immediately dropped down to idle once the engine turned over. 
anything special I need to know? No real information out there and the old 
service manuals are pretty much impossible to locate at this point.
Thanks for your suggestionsChris

Yup  same with 3QM30.   Always starts.  Half throttle and quickly modulate upon 
starting.  Cold or otherwise with no glow plug.

Omg! Perfect!!?
This is perfect. Thanks so much. Now I just have 
to figure out where the compression release is ???
I?ll figure it out. We flushed it with fresh 
water followed by RV pink anti freeze?

Flushing it is a great suggestion

Re: Stus-List diesel engine staring procedure

[Edd Schillay via CnC-List]

Chris,

As a general rule, diesels like to be worked. Keeping them at idle or low-RPM 
speeds is not good for them in the long run. I usually only keep the throttle 
down when shifting in and out of neutral or if I need to go slow in a channel, 
coming into a dock. or picking up a mooring. 

All the best,

Edd
