A healthy marine diesel auxiliary sounds like a gas powered auxiliary that's going to violently explode in less than a minute. Usually, there are some other symptoms that your diesel is sick, like spewing fluids, noxious fumes, or flames. Often, they run exactly the same right up to the point that they seize up as tight as a drum. They will also decide that they don't want to run at all, despite the fact that clearly nothing is wrong with them, other than they feel neglected and need somebody to spend money on them.
