I am wondering if I am testing the temperature switch rather than the temp sensor. By showing "no continuty" at temps below about 250 makes me think it is the switch. However the repair manual says the sensor (sending unit) is usually located in the Tstat housing which is the one I have been...
I believe the Tstat is grounded. But the ohm reading across the sender is the same whether I test it in the Tstat or out of the Tstat. The sender has no resistance no matter what I do to test it. This sender is no longer available at Volvo Penta, so had to buy after-market. The ones I bought...
I have purchased 2 new temperature senders for my Volvo Penta 4.3GL-D from different suppliers and both of them read "no continuity, 0.L" when tested from the terminal to the body (ground) with a digital ohm meter. Even when heated there is no resistance provided. My temp gage manuf says it...
I have a temp sender problem on my 2004 Volvo Penta 4.3GL-D. I have tried 2 "new" senders and they both read "no continuity" from the post to ground. Even when put into hot water they read as open circuit. The gage manufacturer says it suppose to have about 400 ohm cold and 99 ohms at 175...
Can you explain how it will escape the bellows and not pass thru the prop? I have looked at the repair manual drawings and I don't see how that could happen. I may be missing something, so please educate me on this.
On my Volvo Penta 4.3GL-D I believe my exhaust bellows is torn or loose since the exhaust water comes out right outside the transom plate and none seems to come out from the prop shaft. Otherwise the engine runs fine. Will this hurt anything by running the boat indefinitely in water with this...
