I have a Yanmar 4hla-stzp in as Monterey 250. What procedure do owners with these engines use for cold starting (winter) The manual says, if fitted use the air heater which is operated by turning the ign key in the op direction for 15 secs - I have tried this, the key has the position, but nothing "appears" to happen (no noises or lights) otherwise I just turn the key in the correct direction and after about 7 - 10 revolutions it fires up.
I sort of think that the optional air heater may not be fitted and its just a question of cranking until she fires - there appear to be no "glow-plugs" as such like on my old Nanni - which fired instantly using these.... does this sound correct for Yanmar starting?
