    2003 Volvo Penta 5.7Gi-C No start

    We have recently worked on this a bit more. One thing commented on on some forums is seeing the tach move when cranking -(like to 300 PRM) - We see no movement upward --- even perhaps the smallest downward movement. Is this telling us something since i know the engine must see and RPM to fire??????

    5.7Gi-C - fuel pump connector

    I have a Four WInns with a 2003 VP 5.7Gi-C duoprop I have traced an intermittent fuel pressure issue to the connector on the low pressure pump.
