    Volvo Penta Fuel Pump Whining Noise

    Every time mine whines is because blockage. The screen in the fuel pressure regulator should be checked and cleaned and remove the high pressure pump and clean the inlet screen on that. The HP pump is held in with a bracket and single screw.

    SX-A tilt / trim pump replacement tips?

    I have just completed this today on my Boat and my trim works like it should. Have not done a water test yet and if there are leaks, all won't last too long. Silly that Volvo put these where they did:(. My old trim motor had a dead spot on the armature. I took the motor apart; (Must have a...

    tilt/trim

    Have trouble shot this to it being the motor. I tapped on the cover with screwdriver while my assistant held the trim switch. One tap and it started working and has until yesterday. Tapped again and all good. My question is: Can you get just the orings and gaskets to remove the cover and...

    tilt/trim

    Hello. Yesterday 5 min from home, my motor tilt trim stopped working. It does not go up or down I have a 2010 5.7GXi-JF with a DPS-A Out drive. I have not started to T/S it yet but am curious as to the location of the 40Amp circuit breaker that the manual mentions. Thanks in advance.

    2002 volvo penta 5.0 gxi and sx drive will not separate

    Have you disconnected the shift cable from the drive? I would re-install at least the aft bolts on the engine to keep it in place in case you need to use extra leverage to get the drive off.

    Need help diagnosing temperature problem on Volvo Penta 5.0 GL-J

    Read your post again. I should note to my above that 175 is fairly typical what they run at when fully warmed up. Rated thermostat for Raw Water cooled is 160 but they run at 175. If your exhaust manifolds and Risers are only warm to the touch when running and your at 175, you got no issues...

    Need help diagnosing temperature problem on Volvo Penta 5.0 GL-J

    In your write up you suggest that the problem isn't in the lower leg as it seems fine when running on the hose hooked to the water port and that by passes the drive. That observation makes the drive very suspect. Look at the plastic fitting on the left side of the upper unit that the water...

    2008 Regal 1900 issue

    On a Yamaha ( Your boat is a Volvo Penta) there is the VST you speak of and it will cause the issue you mention. On a Carb'd engine as you mention, a sticky power valve could cause your issue. Add some Sea Foam available at any auto part store & Walmart to the fuel tank as per the directions...

    Volvo penta spark plugs

    I personally have in my craft a 2010 5.7 GXI-JF and since I changed the stock plugs that were 41-993 AC Delcos, The MR43LTS is all that its had and she runs like a top. When I worked at the Marina, I would use the stock plugs unless a customer balked at the cost and asked if there was a less...

    Volvo penta spark plugs

    Standard Copper AC Delco MR43LTS plugs work just fine in these Vortec Motors no matter if it's a Carb motor or MPI. They do come stock with the more expensive plug but the plugs will rust out well before they wear out. It's your $$ but the cheaper plugs do the job. Just check the GAP before...

    XDP Conversion to OceanX

    I would see where the RPMs are at full throttle. A good match would be 5200 RPM with a light load and @ 1/2 a tank of fuel.

    XDP Conversion to OceanX

    With that difference, you could compensate by going up a prop size from say F4 to F5 if the drive you seek doesn't come along.

    What type of oil and lube to use

    Have had my own boat since 2001 and worked in the service department where I keep my boat now. I've always had Volvo power plants. In my boats, I use either Sierra Full Syn 30wt or Rotella Full Syn 15W-40. In the service department, for the most part we use regular oil (Rotella 15W-40) on...

    2002 Volvo Penta SX outdrive leak

    Change the orings as you have done and check for water intrusion after a few outings. Don't get over zealous and put too much torque on the plugs. Both they and the drive will strip out easily.

    2005 VP 5.0Gxi 2500-3000rpm max. Low pressure Pump 0 psi

    What you describe will happen if the LP pump is bad. The HP pump by itself can't bring in enough volume. You can do a simple test with a multimeter to check the LP pump. You mentioned that you have checked for and had 12V at the connector to the pump. Now disconnect the harness to the LP pump...

    Volvo Penta 5.0 GL-H loss of rpm

    I would not take more oil out if it's with in the parameter on the stick. Correct power valve for your carb & engine is 4.5 I believe.

    Volvo Penta 5.0 GL-H loss of rpm

    What's you're oil level at? I ask as my neighbors boat had a very similar issue after routine maintenance and lost a lot of top end. Wound up being that the shop overfilled the oil by a lot like they never drained it and just pumped in 5 more quarts. It wasn't milky just grossly overfilled...
