I have the same issue with my 2Qm. I've learned to live with it. I
suspect it's battery. My boat sits on the hard
all winter (Nov - May). I put a freshly charged battery in it, straight
from my garage charging station to the boat and
it fires within a crank or maybe two if it's ony 5 or 6 degrees (40 F
ish). If it were a fuel leak, the 7 months would
definitely drained the lines. So fuel is available and getting there.
Fresh battery starts the 1979 old beast with
ease. Later in the season, the battery is likely not 100% charged and
it takes longer. Maybe more resistance
from old oil too...although 5 months of oil use shouldn't be too bad.
Easy to test. Charge the battery well...then hit the button...if it
takes less time you don't have to tear down anything.
If it does not then have fun tearing the beastie down.

I'm experiencing the same issue with my 1GM10. I'm suspecting an air
leak in the line. My trouble shooting thus far has only been replacing
the fuel filter. I'm anxious to hear suggestions too.

Hello experts,
I wonder if you can help me with any suggestions. 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 Jones

Good morning all. Several weeks back there was a discussion
surrounding issues with bulging keel castings in colder climates.
Been meaning to post some photos I took awhile back, here they are:
