    Not familiar with GLO. Is it carburated or fuel injected?

    Carburator frustration

    It got on plane fine with the old 2 barrel but it would lose power and backfire at anything but wot. Not sure of the rpm, tach doesnt work, but it cant be over 2500 rpm

    Volvo Penta 4.3 gl-a stalls without throttle

    I just replaced my Holly 2 barrel with an edelbrock 4 barrel. It hasnt gone great so far. If it runs well after it warms up it shouldnt need a rebuild. Is the choke flap closed before you start it cold? If you open it with your hand does it close itself or stay open?

    Carburator frustration

    This carb has a mechanical linkage. I can actuate them by hand after removing the throttle linkage. When actuated there is a small squirt of fuel but i cant leave them open to see if fuel is flowing through the venturis. I might try removing the top to check the float bowls for debris. Although...

    Carburator frustration

    Thank you for your response. The edelbrock has 2 metering rods i could be wrong but i thought the right rod metered the secondary fuel flow. When i first installed this carb( 1 week ago) i had hesitation and bog when the secondary opened under load. But the boat would plane in a reasonable...

    Penta 4.3 GLA distributor cap wiring

    Your best bet might be to pull the spark plugs and turn the engine by hand until the timing lines up with the line on the balancer. Then pull the cap and see which # the rotor is pointing at.

    Carburator frustration

    It idles fine, the electric fuel pump is new. The tach doesnt work but i set timing to 10⁰. I verified with the timing light that the timing does advance as the rpm increases. Could improper secondary fuel mix cause my issues?

    Carburator frustration

    For some reason it came from the factory with a 2 barrel mounted on a 4 barrel intake with and adapter plate.

    Engine starts and dies.

    I know on the older model volvo pentas the fuel pump swich is operated by oil pressure after the engine is running. Either low oil pressure or a bad switch is a possibility.

    Volvo Penta 4.3 gl-a stalls without throttle

    I belive the 4.3 gl series is carburated. There is not an IAC. I would check if the choke is operating correctly.

    Carburator frustration

    I recently installed a new Edelbrock 1409 on my 2003 VP 5.0 gl. The old carb was a 500 cfm holley 2 barrel that the power valve kept sticking. Under full throttle the engine bogs down and it is a struggle to get it on plane. If i increase the throttle while on plane it accelerates at first...
