    Crank no fuel - oil pressure safety switch ?

    No gas via accelerator pump but if there is no fuel in the bowl that doesn’t work anyway does it? I tried some press. air and gentle tapping but that didn’t free anything up if it is the problem. Was a little surprised no gas at all dribbled out when popped the fuel line off, its bone dry for sure…

    Crank no fuel - oil pressure safety switch ?

    Well, I am admitting defeat and calling the shop! Back in town this AM and continued looking at this. Jumped across the oil pressure switch first from starter straight to the fuel pump - I don’t think the fuel pump came on when I cranked but didn’t have a helper to validate. No start or even...

    Crank no fuel - oil pressure safety switch ?

    Can’t even get much of a clear path to tap on the thing to see if something internal was stuck as I read elsewhere can happen. This sits 90 degrees from as shown just above the oil filter. If I remove some hoses I may at least be able to see it better while working. iPhones are at least handy...

    Crank no fuel - oil pressure safety switch ?

    Thanks all, work obligations will interfere with progress on this for a few days, but am looking forward to solving it. I don’t like throwing parts at this type of problem but also picked up a starter relay, fuse/breaker and coil pack as they are all accessible, relatively cheap and probably...

    Crank no fuel - oil pressure safety switch ?

    Also the wiring is pretty basic and lines up with diagrams I found online so I doubt that is the issue, engine was built by a reputable shop, I’m just not local to them anymore.

    Crank no fuel - oil pressure safety switch ?

    Hi, thanks for the response. Oil pressure is around 40 while cranking. Haven’t tried running the engine with the pump jumped yet, just did that to ensure it worked at all and had no obstructions to fuel supply, etc. No part number for the switch, won’t have that until I remove it, though...

    Crank no fuel - oil pressure safety switch ?

    Hi all, What was originally an AQ271c has been modified over the years, most recently with a vortec engine (still carbed) which involved going from mechanical fuel pump to electric. Boat was running fine, albeit not many hours since the new engine, and recently started then immediately stopped...

    special tools for Volvo DP-A

    which ones (if any) are "must have" for the DIY-er ??? would be mostly basic maintenance only, though I do intend to pull the drive (and engine) at some point. looking at the manual, some of the tools (suspension rack thingy or outdrive prop gadget) look like conveniences more than absoute...

    carb question

    Hello, all. I have a "mutt" of an engine that started life as a Volvo AQ271C. (This is in an older style 24' Albemarle with I think a DP-A outdrive) The previous owner put in a RECON long block, and replaced some of the bolt on stuff with Merc parts, I assume for cost reasons. I've been...
