I have a 1984 O'Day 30 with a Universal diesel M-18. Engine was running OK for 15-20 minutes and then engine alarm would "hum" for 10-15 minutes before coming on fully. While the alarm buzzer is sounding, my engine is not running hot. I have replaced the audible/visual alarm, thanks to Torreson Marine, and I also needed to replace an in-line fuse when the engine would not start after replacing the alarm. Now engine turns over, although sluggish, but the alarm kicks on immediately. Finding a diesel mechanic has been next to impossible. Any suggestions on trouble-shooting this situation would be appreciated.

what do you mean the alarm kicks on
immediately? Do you mean the alarm is not on when you turn the key on before cranking and then it comes on after the engine starts? For the sluggish cranking check the link. it is fairly easy to replace the wire between the starter button and the starter solenoid
