1500 Yanmar

Very hard starting problem. Acts like a gas
engine timed too high. Extra heavy battery,
clean cables and connections. Fresh rebuild on
the starter. Valves are adjusted correctly.
Is there a way to lower the timing on this engine? Thanks.

The timing is changed with shims under the injector pump. I"d check the comptrssion.

Does it white smoke after you get it running??? If it does then it is low on compression. These little diesels are touchy on low compression.

Is the starter really spinning it or is it cranking slow? If it is slow check all of the cables. I have been getting cables that look good but are corroded under the insulation. Bend the cable along its length. If you get to a place that is harder/stiff then it is corroded there.
