I'm told that part of the slow starting, which appears to be the norm on marine diesels is the use of red diesel itself. It has such a low cetane rating that starting from cold is a nightmare. If you can reach it, full throttle seems best...
Perhaps now we're expected to pay road prices, we'll obey the owners' manual and use decent quality fuel. My car always starts first turn with no throttle. Should that tell me something?
