    Looking a part number

    I wrote a couple of weeks ago about my "0" compression on #4,.. Turns out I have a cracked valve. I was lucky that it did not fall apart in the engine. Anyway, I have located the gasket kit and timing belt but I am having a hard time confirming the part number for the exhaust valve. 1984...

    Head Gasket

    Well my AQ125A Started losing power on the water. So I pulled her out and ran a compression check. 115/115/110/0 I think I blew the head gasket. No water in the oil. I am going to order the head gasket kit and a new timingbelt. Anything else I should check or replace while I am in there?

    I am about done

    Okay I think I have some internal engine issues now. At idle I hear what sounds to be a bearing ready to go in my aq125. If I do decide to fix her what other engine can I hook up to the 270 out drive? Everything from the engine back was replaced/rebuilt 2 years ago but I don't think I want to...

    Thanks iboats

    I had an issue that you guys said sounded like fuel starvation. While checking into it I noticed that the PO bypassed the stock fuel pump and installed a cheap automotive electric fuel pump!!! Well I replaced the original Volvo fuel pump and fuel lines. New water seperator and rebuilt the solex...

    AQ125B Oil Filter

    Is there an automotive oil filter that I can buy for this motor? Nobody local has the oil filter and if I order just the filter online I end up spending more on shipping and processing than the filter itself. My new fuel pump arrived but while I am in there I want to service the engine.

    AQ130B Issues

    I ended my last season thinking there may be an issue with my drive. Engine sounds fine and the boat will reach cruising speed but once I reach about 25mph it feels like I am pulling another boat. She just starts slowing down to about 18-20mph and if I run the throttle to max she will start to...

    Foil Question

    I have a 19' Sunbird Cuddy. I want to get smart tabs but the budget is slim right now so it will have to wait a few weeks. Since the 270 outdrive does not trim am I losing performance with this foil. I don't see how it could be out of the water once on plane? What should I expect to see if I...

    Taking on water

    AQ125b / 270D <br /><br />The bellows all looked good but the bilge would pump out water every 15 minutes or so. When I pulled the boat out of the water and trimmed the drive up water came streaming out of the bottom of the exhaust bellow. So it seems there is a hole in the bellow. Would this...
