The 2QM15 I had got progressively harder to start as it got colder out (30
- 40 secconds of cranking before it would fire), but would run fine once it
got going and start again instantly several hours later. The engine had
lots of hours so I was concerned the engine was going to need a re-build.
How cold is it where you are at? With no glow plugs it takes more cranking
as it gets colder.

Cold isn't my issue, this has been an ever increasing issue throughout the
year. I'm also suspecting fuel that's gone well past its shelf life.
Replacing the fuel and cleaning the tank is next. It's been 8 years since I did
it last and aside from topping up the tank in the fall with a gallon o
Exhaust elbow clear? That can cause hard starting and gets progressively
worse over time.

Michael ,
Before you start tearing things apart, check to see that your fuel feed line
from the tank to the fuel pump is not obstructed. There is usually a small
screen on the end of the line that terminates in the tank that clogs up and can
restrict fuel flow from the tank to the pump. This i

I think the tank cleaning and fresh fuel should be done regardless. I did
that, it helped, the old fuel was the color of weak coffee, the new was
nearly clear.
On the other hand, a clogged exhaust elbow (or any other restriction in the
exhaust) will result in a loss of power under load and a lot
The described problem sounds very similar to that on our 3GM30F.
We have gone through 4 full tanks of fuel this year so it is not stale fuel
The fuel lift pump was replaced in the fall.
The racor filter was changed as was the engine fuel filter
The Injector pump was rebuilt in the Spring

An update on the CNG process for any listers in this area with CNG
I managed to have my existing CNG canister hydro tested to get a 5 year
CANADIAN certification (it came from US)
Once certified Heritage Gas will refill the canisters at their Raddall drive
location in Burnside (Dartmouth, NS).
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 deg
I knew that. Don't know what I was thinking. Must of had a brain fart. I do
have to agree with the dirty injector route. Also these engines need to get
fully warmed up and run under load often. They are redesigned tractor engines
originally made to operate at 70 to 75% power for hours
A machinist friend of mine told me that his recommendation is to run it for
3 hours every time. He had 3 one hour goals. IIRC the first hour was to
drive the moisture out of the oil, the second hour drives the moisture out
of the engine, and only during the third hour do you really start burning
