Disconnect your coil wire and look down the carb while someone cranks it over. Look for fuel leaking out of the venturis. Your needle and seat could be leaking from trash in it or your float could have a hole in it or saturated depending on what material it's made of. Check your oil, it could...
My cover fits good but it continually catches water when it's a heavy rain. it's a black cover the the supports that hold the cover up front and back were pvc and under the black cover it gets so hot the pvc bends. I found a good replacement for those. 48"x84" for the front and 48"x96" for the...
All my experience is on a mercury outdrive, not a Volvo. 3.0 is similar, I noticed a few differences in the water routing and I know there are differences in the impeller placement. I failed to notice this was under the Volvo section.
Don't get off on a tangent. your problem is no water in the manifold. There is a plug on the bottom on the manifold, take that plug out and see if any water comes out. Check for blockage from the stat manifold to the exhaust manifold . it you run it long with no water coming out the exhaust it...

This brings to mind a related subject, my boat is outside in a storage lot, covered. Do the solar chargers like harbor freight sells that clamp to the battery terminals cause batteries to lose water? It keeps mine charged and ready to go, plenty of sun in St. Pete. it just lays on top of the cover.
be sure and check for a vac leak around the carb base. there are several style base gaskets, some don't seal good. A spray bottle filled with water is good to test with.
Sounds like the first time I took mine out. I didn't have a rudder on it, we were cruising down the Brazos on the first run after a total rebuild, following behind a ski boat about 300 yards about 50 MPH. All of a sudden the boat we were following cut the gas and threw out ski's. I cut the...
