STARTING THE ENGINE FOR THE FIRST TIME
Read and familiarize yourself with the description of the Engine
Control System before attempting to start the engine (see
System Descriptions).
Although the engine is shipped with the Injection Pump, high
pressure line, Injector, and Fuel Transfer Pump filled with fuel,
it is necessary to draw fuel from the vessel’s tank to charge the
primary filter and transfer pump fuel line. The following proce-
dure will accomplish this and verify the system performance.
1. Place the Off/Run/Start switch in the Run position.
2. Place the Handcrank (20/6) into the Camshaft (3/45), located
in the center of the Water Pump Drive Pulley. Rotate the crank
counterclockwise until you feel hard resistance from the
compression stroke.
3. Find the Fuel Transfer Pump (3/50) on the upper right side of
the engine. Pump the Priming Lever for 20 to 30 strokes, in
order to supply vessel fuel to the engine. Use the full move-
ment of the lever. Only the last few degrees of motion will
actually pump fuel.

4. Locate the Compression Release Shaft (3/39) above the drive
pulley. Note the small pin on the short shaft (the Compression
Release Shaft) protruding from the side of the cam follower
assembly. The pin should point toward the front of the engine
(the 9 o’clock position) to indicate normal compression
operation.
5. Place the Handcrank over the small pin on the Compression
Release Shaft. Use the first slot in the tab on the Handcrank
(it is the only slot that will fit in the 9 o’clock position).
Rotate the pin and shaft to the 10:30 position (the Handcrank
handle will stop against the valve cover). This locks the intake
valve open and in the decompression mode — the engine will
not return to the compression mode.
