I have an aq171c and the engine will only start when I jump the starter to the battery. I have checked the power going from the ignition to the starter solenoid and it is 12.56 volts but when I turn the key I only click sound. Any ideas would be appreciated.
I have an aq171 and I am having an issue with it only running for a few seconds before stalling. If I pump fuel into the engine it will run for a little while then stall again. If I keep pumping the throttle it will stay running but stall if I stop. I cannot figure out the issue. I have...
My RPM sensor is not working properly, when engine is warm it is double the ohms range, and I cannot find one to buy. Can I get a part for a Volvo car that will work, or does anyone know of a place that is selling one. The only place I found (powermarine) cancelled my order because they did...
I have an aq171a with 290a drive. I am trying to troubleshoot a few annoying issues before summer. I have the older style trim pump that requires engine oil, and the drive will lower after a few minutes. I would like to know of some possible ways of fixing this issue. I have checked the oil...
I have an AQ171a and I would like to replace the sea water intake hose that attaches to the out-drive and goes through the transom, but I cannot find a part number for the hose anywhere. Looking at the hose it appears to have a molded bend, so I am assuming I need to find that specific hose...
I have a square digital trim gauge (P/N 828731-0) on my boat that is giving me trouble. I have tested the sending unit using a post from ladies, and the sending unit works like it should. I cannot get the digital gauge to show anything other than -88, and it only shows that for about 30...
I have an AQ171c that seems to be running hot but I cannot find a running temperature range for this engine. I have a book and a pdf book on the engine and I cannot find the temperature range. I want to be sure the engine is not running hot. If I am running at low rpm's or idle it is around...
I have a Volvo AQ171 and I need a timing belt. I have looked everywhere on line but no one has them. I found one for a car that is the same number of teeth, length but the width is off by 2/16" - 3/16". The belt is 1.11 in wide and the gears on the engine are 1.5" wide. Will this fit my...
My timing belt broke while on the water this weekend. I was running about 2500 rpm's. I have seen some posts saying it is a non-interference and some saying it is an interference engine. I can put a wrench on the drive shaft and it turns without hitting anything. I am going to order a belt...
I have a Volvo AQ171 with a 290 stern drive. I have a digital trim gauge that is not reading properly, and at times it will start clicking for no reason and then stop again. The gauge will read -4 when the engine is all the way up, or at times it will have characters on the digital display...
I have been running tests on the Renix electrical system of my AQ171 because of idle issues. I found that my crankshaft position sender is reading at 198 ohms which is within range for testing but it hits the 198 ohms and then drops down to 1 really fast. Is this correct or should it stay at a...
I have been working on this motor for a few years now and I am close but still short. I am trying to get it running smooth but cannot seam to get it. The engine is running 10 deg btc and I have done a sync with a uni-sync, but I cannot get the carbs tuned right. The back carb will noticeably...
I have a Volvo AQ171a and I cannot find anything that tells me the dwell angle. This engine has a Renix system and from what I am understanding is that it does not have points so no dwell. I was also wondering where to clamp the pos and neg cables on the dwell/tach meter so I can use it as a...
