Early and late season we always require mid to full throttle to start our 3GM30F. Starts much more quickly and with much less throttle in the heat of summer and when has been running within the past few hours. I always advance the throttle when starting and then throttle back as all the cylinders start firing. Injectors, hp pump and lift pump all replaced or refurbished within last two seasons

Don't know about Yanmar. It helped a lot when I started doing that. I guess it's good to read the manual sometimes.

When I first start it I give it full throttle, and it starts fine. After a race, it starts fine with no advanced throttle. I just assume the fuel is flowing back in the line, and it's taking a while to get to the engine. Some day I'll tighten all the fuel line fittings.
