    Connect alternator outputs of two motors to battery bank

    Volvo Penta 5.7GXIC-J Misfiring/Black Smoke

    ^^ change this Take entire fuel system apart and clean Have injectors either cleaned and flowed tested (best) or run some injector cleaner thru each one on the bench. Connect under some pressure and energize the injector with 12V
