That sound gives me so many memories ❤

I have owned several 2GM engines. If the engine has not been run for a week or so, I circulate the oil by cranking it on the starter for about 5 seconds with the decompression levers pulled. Then, if it is a really cold day, with throttle closed, crank it again for about 5 seconds so that compression warms the cylinders. Sometimes it may fire, but not start. Not to worry, because the cylinders will have picked up a little more heat. Then about half throttle and, keeping one hand on the throttle, I crank it until it fires, and as the RPM come up, pull the throttle back to no more than a fast idle, about 1000 to 1100 RPM. Allowing the engine to race to high RPM from a cold start (or any start) can’t be good. I never let the engine idle for long periods. A five minute warm up and run down is plenty. I usually run it about 2200 to 2600 RPM. Lovely, simple and reliable engines.

I'd put one of these in a 14 ft dory and off I'd go happily puttering around. I'd even name my boat "Puttaputta" to reflect the engine sound 😀

Brilliant engines, I have one on my Hurley 24 which fires up with almost no throttle from cold within about 3 seconds and will chug along all day using virtually no fuel.

Blimey and I thought my 2GM20F was loud 😂

Is it doing anything I can hardly hear it

What is your size and whether the engine is adequate for the hull speed.

Hi I see you have a filter in the top left as well as underneath. What is the top left filter connected to and what is it for? I have bought a sailboat and see that the diesel is operated without the filter at the top left connected. Am just trying to figure out if I should connect it or leave it alone.

Lovely

Mine likes, full throttle and let her run for about 30 seconds before easing off the throttle.

Completely normal, no glow plugs so takes much longer in the cold to start. Some people start with the compression lever up and then drop it 5secs into starting to help warm things up a bit and reduce strain on batteries.

nice performance looks like a nice pub also.

apologies for the vertical filming.... but hey, it fitted better
