    Why is fuel leaking from my vapor separator?

    A vapor separation tank is like a carb float bowl. A low pressure pump fills the tank and the float inside the tank shuts off the fuel when it gets full. Leaking out the vent means the needle valve has either failed or there is a piece of crud in the valve. Could remove the tank and see if it...

    Full pump runs continuously

    Don't know which 5.7 motor but will assume it has a carb VP uses 2 diodes (Dumb IMO) which allows power to energize the relay when cranking and ones started, power comes from the alternator to keep it energized. The most likely issue is the ALT diode has shorted. Put a meter on pin 85 of the...

    Volvo Penta 3.0GSP-C Engine Dies, Then Restarts Normally

    I agree, its running out of fuel. Having a mechanical fuel pump I would suggest attaching a gauge on the fuel line going to the carb. Can either disconnect the fuel line at the carb and place a Tee fitting, or temporarily replace the entire fuel line with rubber fuel line and Tee. Should have...

    7.4L Overheating

    Might very well be the new impeller. Installed a new one on mine this year and didn't make it to my slip. The impeller was extra hard to install was the only difference, but it came apart in pieces Remove the hose going to the thermostat housing from the pump. Point it toward the bilge and...
