    160 to 165 Mercruiser manifolds and backfiring

    Make sure that all the studs are the same height. If one is higher than the others it can be driven back down with a brass drift and a suitable hammer. Then re adjust the rocker arm.

    Omc 5.7 cobra. 1992 sunbird.

    volvo 125B over heats out on plane

    When the engine overheats does coolant start coming out of he heat exchanger? The only other thing I can think of is your exhaust manifold could have a restriction not allowing the raw water out.

    My OMC, 305 V8 stinger has a Prop Lyft problem

    Try running a #10 ground wire directly from the negative battery terminal to where the negative from the motor is grounded. Do the same from the positive battery terminal with another #10 to the side of the solenoid that is connected to the fused feed wire. See if that makes a difference.

    There is a very fine filter in the suction tube in the tank. The tube unscrews from the fitting where the fuel line is connected. After removing the tube use a small rod to push the filter out reassemble the fitting.

    OMC 3.8l dying at high rpm and weird cranking issue.

    Try using a 6 gallon outboard tank connected to the fuel filter, this way you will narrow down where the supply problem is. Is the carburetor clean on the inside?

    Do you still have breaker points, or did you convert to a electronic ignition? When the system is working it cuts the ignition where it scatters the ignition signal but not enough to stop the engine. Did you test each switch that they are making contact? Sometimes the pins and females in the...

    The kit is a piece of cake to install. Try to post a picture of the pump or how many blades are on the impeller and how many screws hold the cover to the main body. There are at least 2 types Volvo used.

    A 3.0 liter engine will work but you will need an adapter plate made to bolt the Chevy to the Volvo pattern. The Volvo flex plate will bolt on to the Chevy flywheel with the same thickness spacer that the adapter plate has. Also the front of the pdf shaft has a small extension that centers in...

On the bell housing side the bellows clamp usually is at 3 o’clock on the port side above the water hose and...
