Hi all
I have just picked up a regal with a Volvo Penta 4.3 GI (2000) that has been sitting for a few years doing nothing, on first outing i noticed that i could tick over fine under 2000rpm but as soon as i try to increase the revs the engine seems to try and stall, backfires and blows out a little black smoke, if i keep it below 2000rpm it runs fine. I have taken into a workshop whereby they did a service and advised to drain all the old fuel as this would be causing the issue. New plugs and filters fited (a big bill later) and fuel drained it still has the same issue! I have even run the engine on an outboard tank of clean fuel and it does not impove
would welcome any advice on this
