Re: volvopenta aq131c

When was the last full tuneup, including a compression test? Is the timing belt, pulleys, and tensioner in good shape? Is the timing where it should be? Is the accelerator pump in the carbs working? Do you have water separating fuel filter? If so, have you checked it for water?
