    Engine alignment

    I'll put it this way It was great, easy in/out, then after tightening the top nut it got tighter. Figure a 300 pound motor sitting on a motor mount should be down. Tightening a top nut on a mount should not move the motor, but since it did, then something isn't right. One side is not as high...

    Mercruiser missing at around 2000 - 3000 rpm (350 mag mpi 2004)

    Your parts changer (so called mechanic) is costing you a lot. Appears there not even doing any testing, just changing parts. If the injectors came from ebay, there most likely junk. If they are Merc injectors then Ouch, that cost a lot. This is the puzzler. Changed cap and plugs and runs...

    1998 4.3L GL Fuel Pump Issues

    Agree antisiphon valve, or tank pickup tube, fuel filter clogged or other restriction The relay gets power from the Yellow/Red and thru the diode when cranking. After motor starts, the alternator supplies power to keep the relay energized with the green wire thru the other diode

    1999 7.4mpi fuel pump issue?

    If its a Purple it could go to the oil pressure switch If its Dark Blue this would be the knock sensor Unable to find anything for the Gray or loops, but the diagrams for the L29 are not great. Being at the rear of the motor, one may be used if Alpha drive was used

    2005 Volvo Penta 3.0 GL Dies Out at Idle/Running Rough

    Ahhh no You will not get a vibration from a misalignment. Easy to prove, remove the drive, start the motor with a hose connected to the thermostat housing You need a real mechanic and not one that just wears a shirt saying they are one Vibration and misfires is either the carb, ignition...

    2005 Volvo Penta 3.0 GL Dies Out at Idle/Running Rough

    A motor needs a predetermined amount of fuel and a specific time when the spark plug burns it. Anything outside of that spec can cause issues Many time vibration could also be other things such as the motor not put together correctly

    2005 Volvo Penta 3.0 GL Dies Out at Idle/Running Rough

    Got it thanks You have a Delco EST distributor because a shunt is needed. With it not being set according to the manual, there is no way to get it to run right, other then trial and error. Need to find out why it was not able to be set using the shunt Either they didn't have the shunt or...

    2005 Volvo Penta 3.0 GL Dies Out at Idle/Running Rough

    You have another thread going listing rich fuel mix. Installing a new distributor will not make it run rich. Most likely the carb got some crud in it and now it flooding. Need to clean/rebuild the carb

    2003 Volvo Penta 4.3 GL - Engine starts and runs for about a 15 seconds but won't stay running.

    Item 14 is a relay and 7 is a breaker The breaker is main power to the motor. If it opens nothing works or turns ON The relay turn ON the fuel pump. If the fuel pump turns on for just one second, then maybe it would run for only 15 seconds. To test the theory, hot wire the fuel pump so it...

    1999 7.4mpi fuel pump issue?

    There is another Reg (item 5) on the fuel rail, or thats what Merc calls it. Its actually a fuel buffer. It buffers the pules of fuel from the FP. The Reg on the cool fuel takes care of the pressure https://www.mercruiserparts.com/bam/subassembly/31918/2705/130
