    Volvo Penta 5.0 GL-B does not go properly

    Hello everyone. thanks for all the suggestions so far. Yesterday I tried to change the distributor cover, rotor and it was also needed. (see attached). Unfortunately, there have been no signs of a start yet. But I have discovered that there may be something teasing - if I peel the supply from...

    Volvo Penta 5.0 GL-B does not go properly

    Now I just tried again. Measured the voltage on the coil, with ignition set on and there was 12V. Then tried to measure while the motor cranked, it drops to 7.5-8V - measured on the cable that goes to the coil with supply. Then tried to swap around the start relay and fuel relay (they are the...

    Volvo Penta 5.0 GL-B does not go properly

    Arh, sorry Kenny! I did not see the detail in your previous message - you write that I have to measure while the engine is cranking ... ups Like I said there is 12V with ignition on and if I am cranking the engine it drops to 8 V... :=) In that case, it's probably due to the starter boost...

    Volvo Penta 5.0 GL-B does not go properly

    Hi Kenny. Thanks for the feedback. Well you just mentioned it. When I measure with ignition on and only, then there is 12 V. But while the engine is cranking, it drops to 8 V. But thought it was probably due to evenly large power consumption, for starter, relay, pump, etc. But could it be a...

    Hello everyone. Now I have separated the whole carburetor and cleaned it, put new gaskets in, new pump, adjustet etc. Mounted carburetor on the engine. Measured voltage to coil, 12.6 V so that's fine, right? Tried to start the engine - without success. Tried to put cylinder No. 1 in TDC...

    Volvo Penta 5.0 GL-B does not go properly

    Hi Kenny. Thanks for the information. I will try to take a measurement on this. I assume in the attached image that the purple wire for the coil is + (plus) and the gray wire for the coil is - (minus). So I have to use a multimeter to measure the voltage between purple and ground to check if...

    Volvo Penta 5.0 GL-B does not go properly

    Hi Scott. Thanks for the feedback. So you mean when the engine can idle well and can easily take gas uncoupled, then the problem is probably the carburetor? :) As mentioned, it is only when the engine has to perform when sailing that it almost dies. I have at least disassembled the carburetor...

    Volvo Penta 5.0 GL-B does not go properly

    Thanks for the feedback. Yes, the distributor is probably not completely new - so it may. well be it needs to be replaced. I have an inductive timing light and was hoping a bit that it could be the ignition that was to blame for it all? But they do not sound like it. If I need to adjust the...

    Hello everyone. Hope it's okay to write in here, if not admnin feel free to delete the post! :) We have a problem with a Volvo Penta 5.0gl-b. An acquaintance bought the engine a few years ago and has now got it started. To keep it short, the usual things have gone through. New oil, new...
