Re: 2.3 volvo penta

Could need a tuneup, carb adjust, or even a carb rebuilt. Does the accelerator pump in the carb/s work?
What is the full model number of your engine. 2.3 doesn't mean much.

Yeah, if you ran it out of gas, you probably picked up all the trash in the process.
You probably will now have to rebuild the carbs to clean out the trash. Might want to consider installing a water seperating fuel filter kit between the tank and fuel pump. It'll save you a lot of work in the future.

Here is a link to the service manual for your engine. http://www.4shared.com/file/64741910/25295432/230_250_251_131151171.html

A rebuild kit should come with a new accelerator pump diaphragm. Cant tell you the costs.
