I've been dealing with a motor that won't take WOT for about 4 years and finally solved the problem. Changed plugs, wire, cap, and rotor and fixed it. Guess I should have started there to begin with. Now if I can just solve the warm restart problem. Boat starts cold and runs fine, but when I...
a friend of mine has '98 232 baja islander with a 7.4 mpi bravo, he says it is not a mag. this boat has a chronic problem of getting water in the fuel. if he completely drains the fuel tank, within a few trips to the lake, there will be over a gallon of water in the gas tank. There are no...
after you kill the engine or if you turn the ignition on and don't start the motor, it pressures up to 30 psi then bleeds down to zero in about 2 seconds. engine cuts out at WOT any time above 3800 rpms. low pressure pump is working. no idea where this fuel is going. fuel pressure regulator...
I have a '94 VP 5.7 Gi that is giving me some problems. It won't take W.O.T. above 3500 rpms and it acts flooded for about 45 seconds when you kill it and restart it (misses and smokes, then suddenly clears up and idles smooth). I'm wondering if I buy a GM code scanner if it will work on this...
This is a throttle body injected 350....when I kill the motor and restart it, it floods and smokes for about a minute, then clears up and runs fine until I kill it again. Could one of the injectors in the throttle body be leaking down and causing this? Also, engine cuts out at WOT when RPMs...
I have a '94 volvo penta 5.7 Gi (throttle body injected) engine that is giving me some problems. it starts and runs fine most of the time, but sometimes when I start it, it has a miss and won't accelerate up to plane, it just bogs and smoke starts coming out of the water behind the boat like...
realized that growling sound was not u-joints, but bearing that goes around the input shaft inside the "bell housing" (similar to gimbal bearing)....having trouble removing input shaft to change that back bearing (referring to the solid shaft that goes forward toward the engine)....removed all...
My manual shows a part # for 2 screws required to remove the steering bushing so I can move the steering helmet up and out of the way to replace u-joints. Well the dealers I called say that the part # for the screws is bogus, and I've tried every size and thread pattern I can find and nothing...
I have a '94 5.7 gi volvo-penta with the old DP-C1 outdrive....it's based on the aquamatic 290, I'm told. Well I took the boat out for the first trip of the season and I noticed a whooshing almost growling sound coming from the back of the boat. seemed to get a little worse when I turned, and...
recently bought a 1994 23' cuddy cabin with a 5.7 volvo gi. the boat accelerates and planes fine unless you push the throttle wide open, then it bogs........whether you are just taking off or at speed. it will also only turn about 4000 RPM and if I try to give it any more throttle once it...
