    1996 Volvo Penta 7.4 will not stay running

    New pump Put a voltmeter on the pump hot side and see if you get 12V to it while cranking? Now see if 12V stays there once the key is released and motor is running? If both are true and it still dies its either fuel restriction or an electrical issue

    5.7L 350 - 2003 - MAP/ MPI Horizon - Water Distribution Housing ISSUE

    Pretty sure the top cover is glued on and needs to be there, otherwise it leaks. It can be replaced by making a Tee fitting. Member @Bt Doctur has made them from copper fittings. If your going to stay at idle maybe tape it on https://www.mercruiserparts.com/bam/subassembly/31748/8093/250
