Detroit Diesel (DD671N) Questions

My port side engine is taking longer to cold start than it used to, sometimes needing 8 to 12 seconds of cranking. It used to start on the first or second turn even when stone cold, and the starboard engine still does. If it has been run within a day or two it still starts very quickly. There is very little exhaust smoke at startup even when cold, and what little there is goes away quickly. The engine is running well and making full power as far as I can determine. |
