I have the three lung Universal and I have to have the key on to start;
whether I use the glow plug button or not. In my case, the key gets the power
to the electric fuel pump. No fuel pump, no fuel to engine.

To be clear:1. No wiring harness- removed several years ago and replaced with
direct butt splices.2. The engine has started 100% of the time when cold and
glow plug button pushed before start button3. The two times it gave no
response were warm engine with key off, turn key on and immediately push start
button. In both cases, second push of start button a few seconds later started
right up.
That is why I was thinking that it was the delay between turning the key on and
pushing the start button was the only obvious difference between the scenarios
where it started vs. gave no response. I did not hear a click when I pushed
the button, but I suspect that between my being in the cockpit (rather than
near the starter), my hearing not being great and the clicking of the fuel
pump, I would likely would not be able to tell if it clicked or not. I will do
some more experimentation when I am next at the boat. I will warm the engine
and then turn the key off and wait various times before pushing Start and see
what happens. Dave
