    Mercruiser MIE 340 454 won't turn over when hot

    Do they just crank slowly and is there any place where they stop, or almost stop and then continue to crank? How are the batteries? Has cables been cleaned on both ends to shinny metal?

    Velvo penta does on water

    3.0L hard starting when warm

    There is nothing visual you can just look at. The plunger is inside the carb. With the motor running there will be some extra hissing heard if its still opened. The module can be tested by removing and apply 12V and after about 8 minutes it will move out (cold 7/8 full out 1 1/4). If the...

    3.0L hard starting when warm

    One side will always have 12V on it, key ON or OFF. The other side is where it gets turned ON with a ground. Think of it like the switch is on the ground side and not the hot side

    Volvo 5.7 gxi c No Start

    Yes, head gasket, head, block or exhaust manifolds When it died, hope it died gasping or sort of slow and not a rock hard stop. The thing that's puzzling is you have spark and gas down the TB won't even hit once. Not hitting if water is in the cylinder then that can help explain it. A lawn...

    Volvo 5.7 gxi c No Start

    Gas mixing with water will smell like gas. Remove all the plugs and note if any still look wet. Gas should evaporate but water won't. With plugs out spin the motor over to see if anything comes out of the plug holes.

    Velvo penta does on water

    Frustrated fuel

    There are no differences between auto and marine coils. That said its hardly ever the coil, but you do want one with an internal resistor, not one that uses external resistor
