Hello again, I'm trying to get an old Volvo Penta 230 running and up untill 20 minutes ago I havn't been able to get spark out of it. Finally after some tinkering on this beautiful Saturday i got spark from the COIL, but still no spark at the wires... I tried 3 of the 4 wires, got nothing from...
I'm in the middle of restoring an 83 19ft Renken with a Volvo Penta 230a/270 I/O. I've already rebuilt the carb, soaked it in acid and replaced the points/condensor. The motor cranks fine, and has clean, water-free oil in it. The cylinder head is clean and free of any metal shavings, but the...
Very basic question that for some reason the damn workshop manual I have doesn't answer... Does anybody know the Firing Order for a Volvo Penta 230 engine?
Thank You
Can anybody help me find a manual for my Volvo Penta 230 engine, was built in the 80's with i believe a 270 outdrive?

Im looking for spark in an old Volvo 230, and not finding it... lol
I checked the coil by putting a voltmeter to the cable, grounding it on the block and cranking the engine - I couldn't read the exact voltage from where i had to stand to turn the key but I definatly saw movement so Im thinking...
Hello, I'm new to the forums here and I have a few questions I'm hoping somebody could answer for me. I recently came in to a 1983 Renken 19ft I/O with a Volvo 230 engine in it. I rigged up my old car battery to hook up to the boat just so I could test the electronics and see if I can't get it...
Hey, whats up? I just got home from a 2 hour drive to pick up the first boat I've ever owned. It's a 20 ft Renken, It was free, needless to say not in the BEST condition, but from what I can see theres nothing really wrong with it. It has a Volvo 230 engine in it, i/o with a nice little cabin...
