Cold Weather Starting
Could someone who is running a Viking 130 please relate their experience with cold weather starting? Mine can be very difficult to start in temperatures around freezing or below. I’m wondering what is normal for this engine when cold. Mine runs fine after the first minute or so. All the ECU parameters look plausible. Anyone else having cold starting issues? Suggestions?

It should not be hard no, how many attempts at starting?

Per our discussion with you - always helpful to remove the alternator and the load on startup when colder temps. Will await your feedback. -Alissa
