OK...I gotta ask.
I have a 1981 3QM30. Purrs like a kitten.
No glow plug. Start up cold just fine. Just a few more cranks.Before this
engine I thought all diesels had glow plugs.
What gives?

It may be because these engines are not designed to start in really cold
conditions. Inboard marine engines are seldom asked to
start at much below the freezing point.

I had a full season of A4 issues last year and finally found a mechanic who
was willing and able to visit the 'ole gal and diagnose my engine issues.
These issues were related to smooth and consistant running, especially when
it was warmed up. He found the problems were all related the ign
Someone had a source of Yanmar exhaust risers (other than Mack Boring). My
old black pipe version decided to rust apart yesterday. I have it patched
for a while, but that is going to be a short term solution.
Before I build a new black pipe version, I would like to check out a 'real'
one.

The answer is, 'whatever it takes'
My old Perkins had no glo plugs, My understanding is that the compression
was so high that it didn't need them. I started it up in 35 degree weather
when it was well over 30 years old.
Just experiment with your glo plugs and only activate them to where your

Always use a brush for varnish, and try not to brush it out any more than the

Do you guys really start your engines and go sailing at temperatures below
the freezing point of water up there on Superior.tough guys but I guess you
just have to dress as if you were going skiing. I did that in early spring

Just a few comments regarding the use of Glow Plugs..
I vaguely recall reading in a diesel book, that modern designs of the heads
and injectors on a diesel do not require glow plugs.
I had Caterpiller 3208Ts on a trawler (320 HP) and they did not have glow
plugs.
I never had any problems startin

Someday I will retrofit a glow plug into the intake manifold. It will
certainly help with starting. The Cummins diesels use a heating grid in the
intake manifold to warm the incoming air. Just the type of thing needed to

Some diesels don't use glow plugs. Normally they are direct injection and
have higher compression than engines that use glow plugs. Requires a more
powerful starter, faster crank speed, they are harder to start but easier to
get compliance with emissions standards.
Engines with glow plugs are n
AC Delco is GM's OE supplier. NAPA is an aftermarket supplier. They are not
equal. AC Delco is a superior product. I have no interest in either company. I
