    190 omc sterndrive id

    Just like the SD & SK posted, you have an antique. With the drive raised how much material is still on the ball gears? Obviously a ”sweet water” boat, no way the drive would have lasted this long with salt water use. The engine has a 351 cam and heads and firing order, 13726548. You probably...

    1973 MC-1 Outdrive

    All you will have to do is cut out some material on both sides of the transom cut out and drill 2 new holes. The outer plate cannot be replaced with the engine in place. Do not be surprised if the wood in the transom is rotted. Keep us posted.

    1973 MC-1 Outdrive

    At this point you will be better off locating a later used gimbal housing from 76-90. There are some marine salvage yards around the country that will have what you need. In Marrero just next to New Orleans there is a place called The Boat Yard. They have plenty used parts. Just google them.

    Volvo Penta 6cyl /Chrysler 270.

    Back in the early days of inboard gas engines Chrysler was a major player in the marine industry. In the late 60s-early 70s they wanted to get into the smaller stern drive boating scene and started selling boats that were either built by them or someone else with their name on them equipped with...

    That is the engine I figured you have. You should be able to locate the starter with the # I posted. No luck on the plenum cover however.

    Need help! Looking for a replacement starter for a 1986 Bayliner Capri bowrider with a 4-cylinder Volvo Penta inboard outboard motor

    If your engine is a fresh water cooled slant 4 cylinder genuine Volvo engine this is the Sierra # 18-5906. Bayliner used that model engine at that time. If you are still in doubt try to post a picture of your engine.

    Volvo Penta 855932 Prestolite 7801A advance springs

    OMC also used Prestolite distributors along with Mallory. You might have some luck with the obsolete OMC parts dealers. Mercruiser also used the Prestolite distributor on some Ford engines until the late 70s. I was a Volvo dealer from 72-03 Along with Mercruiser, OMC and Berkeley Jet also used...

    Engine cut out while slowing down....

    You should remove the distributor cap turn the engine by hand and check how the push rods are acting. Wedge something between the alternator and the block to keep the belt tight so that you can use a 15/16” wrench on the alternator pulley nut. Also check if the rotor lines up with the #1 wire...

    Volvo Penta 855932 Prestolite 7801A advance springs

    What happened to the springs? If they rusted away and you are still using points then there is a good chance that the rotor shaft is also rusted and abrasive which wears out the rubbing block on the points. If your distributor is the electronic version then point wear is no problem. I was a...

    Rochester quadrajet

    Most times by winding the spring until the butterfly just closes then 3/4 more of a turn will put it real close. I always did that with the throttle held wide open.

    Rochester quadrajet

    Those springs have been known to break. Is there any resistance when the butterfly is pushed on ?

    Overheating after impeller change

    If there were some impeller blades missing did you find them? If not then they may be lodged in the elbow that is warmer to the touch. If the power steering cooler is down stream from the raw water pump they may be inside the tube nest. Earlier Volvos had that style but yours may be the...

    Overheating after impeller change

    If your engine still has the original manifolds I suggest they should be changed just for preventative maintenance.

    Another Overheating Issue @ Idle

    Look very closely in the thermostat housing for a metered “by pass” port, I have encountered a plugged port that caused what you are describing. Do not overlook the circulating pump. Remove it and pull the cover, check that the impeller is not loose on the shaft and of course the condition of...

    Overheating after impeller change

    It will be a good time to inspect the impeller. You could try using a garden hose to back flow the water intake. Is the bottom clean of marine growth?

    Does your boat stay in the water? If so, there could be some marine growth in the supply side.

    Chrysler 318 bellhousing for Volvo 270

    If the flywheel housing is separate from the p d s housing then all you need is a SAE marine flywheel housing that would be used if the engine will be a straight inboard Borg Warner clutch or similar. Some Chrysler/Volvo conversions had a 1 piece housing and with a little luck you may find...
