A friend of mine has a Bayliner with a 4cyl Volvo I/O. He states the engine runs fine with the rpm's up, but will not idle. I have not seen the thing, but he says there is a tupe that squirts fuel up into the aircleaner which then run down into the carb. He feels like the fuel pump may have low output because fuel no longer trickles out of the tube at idle. <br /><br />I have never heard of such a device, any help is appreciated.

If it runs at a higher rpm your fuel pump should be alright. I would recommend you remove carburetor. Boil it out and put a carb kit in it. Don't be afraid of doing this. It is a very simple carb to repair.
