    Stripped threads on carburetor

    There are some numbers on my current carburetor, and when I search them up, they bring up a whole different carb wher the fuel inlet is in a totally different position. So would need new fuel line as well if I went that route. These are the numbers I found on the carburetor.

    What website you find this on? It’s the 290 not the older ones. It fell out because the shoulder bolts didn’t have nuts on the end.

    1994 celebrity with 4.3 Volvo Penta no start no crank

    Yes kill switch is good, and the lanyard is intact. My next guess would be the ignition switch or maybe the circuit breaker in the back of the motor.

    I just pulled boat off of trailer into the water, and as I was floating backwards, I put it in forward. As I approached the dock I shifted into reverse to slow down. From there I tried to put it in neutral, but throttled forward all the way killing the boat. Now boat won’t start. Prior to this...
