    ATTN: HOLLEY Experts...

    Re: ATTN: HOLLEY Experts... Here are some pics from all sides. I've been scouring the internet with my carb numbers and have found similar posts over the last 10 years - but no one ever posts a solution. The numbers on my carb listed top to bottom are: 3854057 80378-1 2225 according to...

    ATTN: HOLLEY Experts...

    I have some problems I'm trying to resolve with my new 7.4 michigan motorz (volvo) bogging out at above 2000, both under load and at the dock. I had a fuel pump issue and along the way decided to get my carb rebuilt, just to eliminate some variables, since the carb was from my old engine. The...

    Troubleshooting electric fuel pump...

    Ok. Engine won't start and it's narrowed down to the area of the electric fuel pump - or at least it's not being activated. Here's what I know: Engine will start if I pour fuel in the carb I double checked the starter relay (the 4 pin deal) using the trouble shooting pdf Don S posted. :blue...

    Need Help Selecting a Duo Prop....

    I have my new 7.4 Volvo and new lower unit. Here's a bit of history... My old 7.4 was mated to a duo prop lower unit ratio of 1:1.95. I ran C4's and got a WOT of 4400+rpm (not quite 4500) I replaced that engine with a new 7.4 and replaced the lower with a new 1:1.78. I am running B2's and...

    Uh Oh. New Engine won't Crank...

    Ok, I'll do my best to explain without pictures, and hopefully the symptoms will mean something to someon. I just go a new Volvo 7.4 from Michigan Motorz which was run, timed and tested before it was shipped back to me. All I needed to do was drop her in, hook up my batteries and wire harness...

    Can it be done?...Adding a FULL / COMPLETE closed cooling system on a Volvo I/O

    Re: Can it be done?...Adding a FULL / COMPLETE closed cooling system on a Volvo I/O Well, here she is all tucked away... I'm still waiting for my fiberglass mufflers but other than that, I think I'm ready to go. I took some more pics on my phone but they came out blurry.

    How to Determine Duo Prop "pitch"...

    I had three set of Duo Props reconditioned and asked the guy to mark them (B2, B3, etc.) because I didn't know which were which. When I got them home I see he marked each one for the actual Pitch and Diameter. Is there a conversion chart of sorts so that I can determine what each set is...

    Can it be done?...Adding a FULL / COMPLETE closed cooling system on a Volvo I/O

    Re: Can it be done?...Adding a FULL / COMPLETE closed cooling system on a Volvo I/O Here are a couple from when it was shipped. I don't have any of the install shots yet. This ended up being a huge undertaking and a lot more complicated than I expected. I dealt with Michigan Motorz, who were...

    Can it be done?...Adding a FULL / COMPLETE closed cooling system on a Volvo I/O

    Re: Can it be done?...Adding a FULL / COMPLETE closed cooling system on a Volvo I/O I guess this is what I'm basically looking to do. This is a photo of a Merc BBC but I think I could use the same Closed Cooling kit (MC334 or MC335) and set it up the same way, since we're really just talking...

    Can it be done?...Adding a FULL / COMPLETE closed cooling system on a Volvo I/O

    SHOCKING Outboard Question...

    I've been lurking and have picked up a bunch of stuff from you guys... thanks. I can't seem to find an answer to these questions though: I have an Evinrude Junior outboard that often shocks me when adjusting the throttle lever. The previous owner thought it was a leak from the spark plug wire...

    Glue Question...

    I recently used Seamseal and it seems like a good product, but it's real expensive. Does anyone know if there is a comparable product that's cheaper? It seems an awful lot like silicon caulking to me. Any chance I could use that with PVC? And what about using contact cement to re glue a...

    Repairing a leak on an inflatable

    I've got a '99 Quicksilver 300 with a leak on a seam that about a 2" long. Not a tear, the glue is letting go. Any suggestions on repairing? I've seen the kits but wondered if they are any good. Has anyone tried the Hippo Patch?... Just saw that today. .

    Locking Up a Dinghy and Motor...

    I have a '99 Quicksilver with an '86 Evinrude Junior... clearly not on the top of someone's "Let's steal this!" list, but I'd like to know what options I have for security. I'd love to leave the dink with the outboard attached and locked somehow, and I'd like to know what options I have to...

    2hp Impeller Change...

    I've been checking the boards out for a while and hope someone can help... I just picked up an '86 Evinrude 2hp and I need to change the impeller. I've got the lower off and have taken out the two screws that seem to hold down the housing for the impeller, but it's stubborn and I'm afraid to...
