    The 612 manual says turn the key to the II position for 60 seconds before starting - it that the first click of the Key?

    John- Position II is ignition on. See if this helps, and substitute 60 seconds for 30 seconds if it makes you feel better. Assembled from several WSMs, including an early 612 WSM.

    Run Cycle.
    Turn battery disconnect switch off and turn off all accessories (stereo, A/C, etc).
    Let engine get completely cold or at least 30 minutes.
    Insert key in ignition and leave for 30 seconds.
    Turn ignition to on and leave for 30 seconds.
    Turn ignition off and leave for 30 seconds.
    Turn ignition on, wait for Check OK, and start.
    Let idle with no input whatsoever for 10 minutes.
    Turn accessories back on and drive gently for 10-15 minutes at least.
    You will have to insert stereo code, if required.
