Wire is black. This is on the port side. Photo is facing aft. The manual says the sensor is in the engine block, located right behind the fuel cooler assembly port leg. It is not.

Below is a pic of the wire to the knock sensor. Can't find where it goes. I pulled the engine out for work, now it's back in and ... Yes, I know, the wire is only six inches, how hard could it be? 1994 Volvo Penta 5.0 V8.

All, I have a Yamaha '03 Fx140. 250 hours. Had the Jet pump bearing and inner bearings replaced last year. On startup, for the first five seconds, or so, the engine surges a bit and there is a very loud rattle/grinding noise. Then it all settles down to normal reduction gear noise, engine...

Slightly less than 60 on most cylinders. One was 30, the other almost 90.

Checked the compression on two of the cylinders. Reading a peak of 60. Should I get a leak down tester next or what?

It may be a fuel cooler, but it has a side hustle as being a float bowl! Fuel was purchased "recently". A few months ago by now. Haven't hooked up the tank since the rebuild. Coming straight from the can.

Yeah, it's running pretty fast under those two conditions, shut it off after a few seconds. Oh, I was thinking compression was ok. Engine ran great before I started this project. I'll look into that.

The Volvo system does? Unspent fuel does not return to the tank. It is sent to the float bowl then pumped back into the rail by the high pressure pump.

Actually, yes, just stuck an inspection camera up the intake plenum orifices yesterday. 40

I have a 1994 Volvo-Penta FI (Fuel Injected) V8 / Ford 302. I reglassed my boat and thus the engine sat for a few years before I could get to it. Now I am having problems getting it to run. It will only run with full throttle. It started right up when I had the intake plenum off. This is w/o...

I am all for making a bracket. What is considered the "Volvo standard elbow"? This is the best I can do on short notice, the riser goes into a 90 deg elbow to the exhaust tube.

The computer case bolts onto the starboard riser.

Yes, it's a Ford 302. Thanks to all for the suggestions. I'll have a look around. I was just googling the VP part #s which wasn't working.

Yes. It would run for a few secs on water, then stall. The mating surfaces between riser and manifold were rusty. I filed them down and got new gaskets. Ran the engine for 20 mins to get it up to temp, ran fine.
