Yanmar GM10 diesel engine refuses to crank over and start
Captain Notty,
Re the Yanmar GM10 on my genset not cranking:
The big hammer idea is quite common it seems?

I will also check the panel out and open up the in line fuse, its not as is my engine has many hours on it, about 450 I guess and nice and clean and dry.
Athol, is this the forum you were talking about?
Folks, I wish engine fault fixes were always as easy as this one, my thanks to

I used a soft faced copper/leather hammer, it says 1 on it, one Kg I guess?
With the ignition key in the ON position and the start button pressed IN , the soft face of the hammer was knocked onto the side of the solenoid of the 12v starter motor, the engine soon started to crank and I was able to run the engine up to full temperature for the first time in some months.
Switching the engine off, a restart in the normal manner was possible, the hammer remains on the boat for now!
Note, 24 hours later and the hammer was required again, its time to remove the starter and service the solenoid I think.
Then the next three days and the engine cranked and started on the button each time so maybe not?

I Like a Rolling Start
It is in the mid 30's and sunny with a light breeze. I roll my canoe down the hill and put in from the burial island.
A raccoon is on a downed log to my right. It is soaking wet and leaves wet tracks along the top of the log as it moves off. As I go north between the last of the islands I see a red tailed hawk to my right. It gets up and moves over to trees on the burial island. One eagle is at the lunch counter, people on shore are watching it. The swans are near the west islands.When I get closer to the lunch counter, I see that the eagle is eating something small. Crows are complaining. They have begun to pester the eagles more often, lately. I take a handful of compass bearings from the lunch counter. Then I paddle straight over to the north point perch and take a few more bearings. Paddling over by the west islands I count 11 swans. The grays are off by themselves. While I take a few more compass bearings they come to 50 yards, they are curious. The mature swans stay over 100 yards out. The smaller male eagle is in trees on the west shore. Done messin' about, I head through the cut and onto Lake Union where I take out at Good Turn Park, a tiny little and very nice park tucked in where no one would expect to find a park.
