This is the 2nd time in 18 months and over 1,000 miles. Twin Cummins 1989 VT555 - both times on short trips approx. 1.5 hours, both times we ran the generator at anchor for approx. 4 hours, both times starboard engine turned over fast but would not start, plenty of fuel - when engine cooled down it starts up just fine.
would a hot solenoid not open?
Usually our trips a several hours to another marina or anchorage and only sometimes run the generator to charge up the inverter batteries, always start right up in the morning
No recent work, fuel filters changed about 200 hours ago, fuel clean with no water visible.
Any thought would be appreciated, thanks Jack
