volvo 290 raw water pick up

I have to re-place the raw water pickup flange<br />on the outdrive, is it possible to do without re-moving the upper drive unit, it looks like a tight fit, any ideas?<br /> Ed,

Ed, the flange is very close to the driveshaft bellow, its easy to put a nick in the bellow when working with tools etc. <br /><br />Loosen the outer bellow hose clamp and push the bellow out of the way, the rest is fairly easy.<br /><br />No, you dont need to remove the upper case unless the pivot bearing (and the water tube inside the bearing) needs replacing.

Thanks Aldo , it worked like a charm, <br />we're back in the water.<br />Now, what do you know about sychronizing 2, <br />1 bbl. carbs? <br /> Thanks again, Ed

Need more info as to what carbs, engine etc. you are running but the most accurate way to adjust any carby is with a vaccum gauge, especially getting 2 carbs in sinc.<br /><br />I havn't seen dual solex (common on volvos) in years but others on this forum will know the procedure. Aldo
