    3 Bank charger w/24v system

    Yes use a meter If the batterys are fully charged and charger is turned OFF, each bat should read around 12.7V give or take. The meter being used can have variations. When charger is first turned ON and a bat needing to be recharged I would expect to see 14V or so. After it brings the bat up...

    Hard Starting and dies at wot

    I would check fuel pressure first Get carb Tee fitting, or get some fittings and fuel line to make up a Tee fitting so a gauge can be attached between pump and carb. Then get a vacuum fuel pump tester and record pressure readings at all rpm levels...

    Hard Starting and dies at wot

    I'm thinking a fuel issue, but need to do some testing to find out. When it dies, remove the flame arrestor and while looking down the carb (safely) have someone pump the throttle to see if there is any fuel being jetted in. When cranking, does the fuel pump run (listen, feel)? If pump is not...

    Raw water cooling question

    This is how I see it currently Water comes from pump and splits in 2 places. One goes to starboard manifold, the other goes to intake where the thermostat housing would be. Water fills the block via the intake T-housing and also water passes out the other side to the port manifold. Water...

    Raw water cooling question

    The 71C pump can be rotated so it can be used on LH or RH motors. I'm thinking (will cause some rework) change to direct mount the transmission to the motor. Would need to change the motor/trans mounts, but could be installed as one unit. This would be a larger undertaking, but the end result I...

    To make up the ratio the B3 uses the upper and lower sets to get the overall ratio. For the cone clutch count one of the clutch gears and the drive gear. Given that FT has the ratio so should be 16/27 upper ​ Hear is the gear change bulletin

    Installing Boat Heater

    My Formula (from the factory) came with a hot water heater. The source feed came from the port side block drain which had a 1/4 NPT to Barbed fitting on it. It had 5/8 ID hose going to/from the hot water heater. The return went back to the engine water circulating pump. Suggest doing the...

    2001 Volvo Penta 5.0 sporadic no fuel

    Sounds like your loosing power to the pump relay. Being a carb motor I'm assuming its a GL something model, please confirm. Below is for a GL-C/D and the fuel pump relay is turned on while cranking by the Yellow/Red wire coming from the start relay thru a diode. Once started the relay is then...

    2003 Volvo Penta 5.0 GL

    If you still not getting any fuel to squirt out when the throttle is pushed forward, you need to remove the carb. There is a spring and check ball inside so when the accelerator pump is moved, it seals off from the fuel bowl so fuel can be pumped in. Note there is a inlet check ball and...

    4.3 GL starving for fuel

    The fuel filter should be completely full of fuel at all times, idle to WOT and when the motor is shut OFF. With the filter not being full, you either have a weak pump or restriction. The number one cause of a restriction is the antisiphon valve on the tank. Its a barbed fitting that the...

    No fuel at start

    The fuel pump is turned on by the Yellow/Red wire thru a diode to the FP relay. The same wire also energizes the starter relay which cranks the motor. Once the motor is running, power stops on the Yellow/Red and comes from the Green wire thru another diode to the FP relay. Note the wires on the...
