Why is my Yanmar 3YM30 Engine having trouble starting?
If you're having trouble starting your Yanmar Engine, it could be due to a few reasons. First, make sure fuel oil is being injected by priming well. Also, check if the pinion or ring gears do not mesh, and if so, tighten them. Finally, ensure there is sufficient fuel oil in the tank by adding fuel.
How to fix Yanmar Engine low oil pressure light?
If the engine oil low pressure alarm indicator light is on, it could be due to a low engine oil level. Check the engine oil level and add or replace oil as needed. Another potential cause is a clogged engine oil filter. If this is the case, replace the engine oil filter and the engine oil.
What to do if Yanmar Engine starter turns but engine doesn't start?
If the starter turns but the Yanmar Engine doesn't start, possible causes include: no fuel (add fuel and bleed the fuel system), a clogged fuel filter (replace the filter element), or improper fuel (replace with recommended fuel). For problems with fuel injection or compression leakage, consult an authorized Yanmar Marine dealer or distributor.
What to do if my Yanmar 3YM30 Engine suddenly stops?
If your Yanmar Engine suddenly stops, it could be due to several reasons. Check if the fuel oil supply is cut off or if there's insufficient oil in the fuel oil tank; if so, add fuel oil and prime the engine. Air or water in the fuel oil system could also be the cause; bleed the air or remove water from the drain and fuel oil system, then prime. Ensure the fuel oil cock is open and the fuel oil filter isn't clogged—clean it if necessary. Damage to the fuel oil system, a problem with the fuel feeding pump, or governor trouble could also be responsible; check and make necessary repairs. If the governor spring is damaged, replace it. Clean the governor sleeve if it's sticking. Finally, check for seizure of moving parts and repair as needed.

What to do if my Yanmar 3YM30 has poor exhaust color?
If your Yanmar Engine has poor exhaust color, it could be due to a faulty fuel injection pump or valve. Check, repair, or replace the fuel injection pump. Try cleaning the fuel injection valve. You can also replace parts or adjust the settings.
Why Yanmar 3YM30 battery light stays on?
If the battery low charge indicator on your Yanmar Engine remains lit during operation, the V-ribbed belt may be loose or broken; replace it or adjust its tension. Alternatively, the battery itself may be defective, so check the battery fluid level and specific gravity, or replace the battery. If these steps don't resolve the issue, there may be an alternator power generation failure, which requires consulting an authorized Yanmar Marine dealer or distributor.
