    Yes, if it goes easy in/out your good. Every coupler can have some ever so slight variations. The grease marks are used to advise how to adjust if its not easy. As before 2 finger easy

    Engine alignment

    Guess when you asked in post 1, was "does this look good". Not knowing more then that we took it as the alignment was tight and how should it be adjusted. I should have asked the question first "how easy does the bar go in/out?" Sorry about that Alignment is more feel then looks. It might...

    If it was easier before then now, I would think yes If its easier now then it was before, then no Keep in mind, as before, it might be just one side, not saying it is, just we're not there to feel what you are. After alignment the drive should slide right on without much pushing

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

    Being a GL it should have a Holley carb. Check power at the coil and see if its going to zero when motor shuts off. Is the choke closing on initial start? Can you keep it running by giving it more throttle?

    First and foremost the bar should be able to go in by pushing with 2 fingers (pretty easy). Removing the bar should be easy as well Same number of turns is best for new installs. The rear motor mounts are snugged up while the motor hangs form the thermostat housing. Lower nuts are adjusted...

    ok, locking tab or top nut needs to go up some more. Bending those tabs out of the way is a pain. I bent mine out of the way and never bent them back. I also remove drive every season and check
