    89 Volvo Penta AQ271C ignition or carb, maybe something else

    if you need to rebuild the carb, I have one or two (hundred). I have also used the same carb on my 468 until going bigger (thread in sig)

    Fuel gauge always says full. Which variable resistor/potentiometer?

    never ever ever had to use a potentiometer on a gauge ever. and I must have designed at a minimum, 800 different fuel tank installations from marine to off-highway to on-highway So I am pretty sure

    Axle weight capacity

    Looks to be a serial number and not a HIN if it is a searial number, looks to be a 1981 260 DA Build 6282 https://owners-resources.searayweb.com/model-archive-files/1C1_27_74DERNJ5B335.pdf regardless, if its an 260 Vanguard, Weekender, or Sundancer, your trailer is not big enough

    1988 3.0 and 1994 3.0 swap

    in 1990 the motor went thru a major re-design for 1991. the crank went from a 2-piece to a 2-piece. at the same time, the block changed, the head changed, the pistons and rods changed. the use in boats went from the 153 tooth flywheel to the 168 tooth flywheel yes, while they are both 3.0...

    then you have either a bad gauge or a bad sender or bad wiring

    Fuel gauge always says full. Which variable resistor/potentiometer?

    you need to get the float arm to properly move also, if your sender is at the back of the tank and you have a shallow tank, it will most likely read full if your bow is always pointed upwards. does your boat sit level?

    89 Volvo Penta AQ271C ignition or carb, maybe something else

    its a standard timing tape. mostly used on performance engines so you can check timing advance without an advance timing gun so your timing is good now check fuel pressure at the carb

    You have timing tape on the damper. It's used to validate full advance the groove is TDC or 0 Timing tab is standard SBC. The big V is TDC At 2800 RPM, your total advance should be 32 or 34 (see decal on vanity cover)

    Problem with a Mercruiser 5.7 V8 LX

    did you troubleshoot? most of the time, its the trigger assembly. especially if you have the old-design 2-wire ignition trigger (labeled as "sensor" in the diagrams) its a $60 part (was $40 2 years ago)

    So i was gifted a boat..

    unless you are emotionally attached to the boat, I would sell the motor off of it and get rid of the rest. tri-hull boats have the worst ride quality ever unless the water is glass smooth. the way boats rot, the transom is the first thing to go, the stringers next, and the floor last. this...
