    Engine Starting Issue

    Your serial number comes up as a motor with catalytic converters, EC version so it might be closed cool with a heat exchanger, a pic of the motor would verify. For it to just shut down it might throw a code. The motor shows a PCM and may have Digital or standard cable controls. Being a 1994...

    Double engine failure in ten minutes

    Being that both motors had the same issue then don't see the need to check spark or injectors. Checking fuel pressure would be good to know, but betting just checking the filters and quality of fuel may give insight

    Volvo Penta 4.3gxi-f

    Looks to be code 1642 buzzer open With both doing it I would suspect 12V connection coming from the key power side (purple wire) going to the buzzer. Then the ground side of the buzzer back to the motors (pin 4) Most likely its a loose or corroded connection

    Double engine failure in ten minutes

    I'm betting bad fuel, did you just fill up maybe, or was there a heavy rain/storm and got water in the tank maybe? Remove filter and dump it into a clear container to see if its clear and smells like gas and just the one serial number is good

    Double engine failure in ten minutes

    Need more info, explain more about what is going on. Motor serial number? Were motors running and just shut off, or they crank and won't start? Plugs should not be wet, shouldn't actually see any fuel on them, and if you did, then that's what's wrong When key is turned to ON do you hear a...
