I have had problems with my starter button that caused a similar
problem.maybe it would be worthwhile to check or replace the starter button
or at least make sure the wired connection on the back of the panel are
clean and tight

Now you have me concerned about my setup.  Is it possible that the inability
to start with both pressed on battery alone indicates a battery problem?  I
had my switch set to BOTH when I did this and it cranked heartily so it did
not seem like a weak battery.  Dave

David,

The preheat button does 2 things, activates the glow plugs and deactivates
the audible alarms.  The usual start procedure should be to press the
preheat button for 30-60 seconds then press the start button while
continuing to press the preheat button.  In colder weather, you may have to
hold the preheat a bit longer.  With a warn engine, you should be able to
press the preheat and start buttons simultaneously.

I push the throttle forward SLIGHTLY when I start my Universal.

I have only had a few tries at starting the M430 engine on my new boat, and
I have been told several different stories.  One person said to hold the
glow plug button for 5-10 seconds and then start.  Another said 30 seconds
on the glow plug and then leave the button pushed while also pushing the
starter.  The latter worked when I was first starting the engine after the
winter while plugged into shore power.  Yesterday I started it for the first
time without shore power and found that the starter did not kick at all if I
started while also holding the glow plug button.  Started find when I let go
the glow plug button.  What is the "normal" starting procedure with a cold
engine in cool weather.  Warm weather?  Warm engine?  Thanks- Dave
