    Ujoints clunking?

    No don't see that as the issue You had noise under load, replaced gimbal and still have noise unloaded. I would say you need U-joints The test for a gimbal bearing is, put fingers in bearing with drive off and rotate. If it feels smooth as silk, its ok

    Volvo Penta 4.3

    In most cases a diode blows or shorts due to to much current. Something in line with it started drawing more, like the fuel pump or relay. The diode can be replaced with a higher wattage one with no ill effects Note: you do know how to test a diode? Using a ohm scale you can get close by...

    99 Volvo 5.0GL

    Might be coincidence that it happened after the water pump. Also assuming it didn't rain much It bogs at WOT and then starts having problems. I'm thinking fuel supply issue. Things to check: Dump fuel filter contents into clear container, see if there is only clear gas Fuel pump pressure, 3-8...

    99 Volvo 5.0GL

    Replacing the water pump will have no effect on the motor running unless something else was knocked loose or disconnected. It could have an issue with water. If it was just a little bit of water the motor would burn that off in a short time. If it was more than that there could be an issue.

    1986 Four Winns Horizon 190, Carb Linkage?

    New alternator, still low voltage

    The guys bring up a good point. If motor starts and idles at 700 rpm then the ALT may not start producing power. Motor needs a quick rev (about 1500) for split second then back to idle

    What is the motor serial number? No fuel? Is this a carb, EFI, MPI? It's not the kill switch with 12V at the coil. The kill switch disconnects power from the coil
