    1986 Volvo Penta B230 AQ125A engine wiring

    Be sure that both carburetor throttle plates are synchronized. They run terrible off idle if they are not set. Those carburetors are easy to clean and most times the gaskets are re usable.

    1986 Volvo Penta B230 AQ125A engine wiring

    If you have 2 carburetors then you have a 145. At this point you need to rebuild/clean the carburetors. To help with starting look at the solenoid and you will see a un used spade connection on the port side, make up a #16 ga, wire from the spade to the + side of the coil. Bayliner/ Volvo 4...

    No problem Southkogs, we are all trying to help Lovemy Seaswril out but nun of us being on the scene we are just giving suggestions to the best of our knowledge and experience. Another problem he is having is the tilt clutch holding. When they are in good condition I used to be able to check...

    Remove quadrant gear and Stern leg is stuck in down position

    Please read line #5 in post #3. The drive is not binding in the pivot caps. Tilt motors that are weak will run with out a load. The only other thing that could cause the problem is a bad electrical connection, I have even had a fuse that was causing the problem, it was testing good but was...

    Remove quadrant gear and Stern leg is stuck in down position

    According to post #3 the drive does in fact can be raised and lowered manually with the gear removed. If the boat was at my shop the tilt motor would have been changed by now. I wrestled with those things for over 30 years.

    1988 GM 5.7 stalling when slowing down

    If everything else is not causing the problem what you are describing then it could be possible the rotor gets hot in the distributor and is going to ground. When the boat is coming off of plane it loads the ignition more than when it is on plane. Get an extra rotor and see if that helps.

    If you need to replace your Cobra power steering actuator here are a few tips…

    It looks like it was a real PITA Lou. When I answered your question I could not remember if you had the later style that is all aluminum of the one you did have. A lot of times the steel cylinder gets a rust hole leak or one of the 2 lines between the valve and cylinder. I have that cotter...

    Remove quadrant gear and Stern leg is stuck in down position

    The tilt motor is not that hard to remove. A 3/8” universal 1/2” socket with a extension and ratchet will do the job. Most likely the brushes in the motor are worn or burned along with the commutator on the armature. Unbolt the quadrant, lift the drive to the 1/2 way position and Re bolt the...

    Remove quadrant gear and Stern leg is stuck in down position

    It can be done as long as the drive is in the full down position. If the drive is not all the way down you will wipe out the ball gears, the upper gear case and the intermediate housing. This all will happen if the ball gears wear out to the point where they “slip” over each other. When that...

    Remove quadrant gear and Stern leg is stuck in down position

    Did you check the 50 amp fuse that supplies current to the solenoids? Have you tried unbolting the Quadrant gear to see if the motor still runs? If the fuse is good try tapping on the motor while using a remote starter button connected to the lift solenoid. The brushes could be stuck. If the...

    Remove quadrant gear and Stern leg is stuck in down position

    Since the motor worked with the quadrant removed and not with it on there is a good chance the tilt motor is tired. When the quadrant was off did you run the tilt motor in both directions and also while the the quadrant was off was it easy to lift the drive up by hand or did it feel stiff?

    It almost looks like the remains of the sealing ring. You need to clean that whole bellhousing, the mounting surface of the drive, the bellhousing, inspect the boot for tears, the shift linkage, especially where the shift slider travels for reverse. Also the pocket in the drive shaft housing...

    1967 MFG Sprint. Steering cable Help

    It looks like the average price for the kit you need is $160.00 plus the freight. The only thing which may cause an installation problem is the way the engine end attaches to the tube. The new cables have a female nut that threads on to the tube where your old cable has a male thread. Years ago...

    over heats above 3500 rpm

    There is a “O” ring between the lower gear case and the intermediate housing. It seals the water passage where the lower swivels for steering. All you need to change it is some allen wrenches. You should also drain the oil first. What happens is air enters the the in coming water when the boat...
