Just had this motor put on my champion .It has been back with them twice for over a month first day ran good second it started having problems starting and running bad ,they serviced the fuel filters maid it better but still does not like to start

HPDI's are very easy to start, cold weather, hot weather, cold engine, hot engine, it doesn't matter. If your engine is not starting easily something is wrong with it.

It's been just turn the key for me! 2005 model!

Well figured mine out .I feel kinda stupid just was not pumping the bulb tight enough .I was pumping it may be four times kinda firm ,I went out with mechanic he pump it tell it was tight ran perfect. . I took it out again today did and everything was great

Glad to hear it was a easy fix.

Like Charlie said ....... HPDI's don't care ...... they just crank-up.

[Charlie206]

You will run into that after the boat has sat for a long time. You must fill the VST with fuel. During times when you use it often, pumping is not necessary.

I will be glad when I get all this dialed in .

Sure would be nice to have one that starts easy. I have a 2006 250 hpdi that you have to cross your fingers to get to start on the initial crank. After the first time, just touch the key. HAd a sync - link, no help. What is the secret ? The only way I have found to get mine to fire up quickly on cold start is to crank it right before it goes into the water. Not good for the water pump no doubt but it does fire right up

Have the same cold crank issue on my 2006, 200 HPDI, haven't tried cranking before its in the water.

[rkabusa]

three trips now with pumping the bulb ten times .it fired right up each trip

mine sat for over a month and fire right up in 37 degree morning with out pumping.Cross my fingers,lol, 2006 250 hpdi
