Water coming out of carb

[klopfelter]

I have an 83' Bayliner Capri with an AQ125a. It was running great,until I stoppped for a quick cigarette. Now when the engine turns over water comes out of the carb. What has happened? Why would it have happened so suddenly?<br /><br />Thanks for your help<br />Jon Morgan

Jon, does the engine run? I don't know anything about volvos, but in general, I guess a leaking intake manifold gasket, blown head gasket, cracked intake manifold, a lot of things could cause it. someone with some smarts on this unit will post here, our forum has a lot of pros...welcome to I-boats...

Did the engine overheat that you know of?solex carbs? When my volvo overheated they was a lot of condisation in the carbs and had to repair the impeller and replace gaskets.seemed to take care of the problem.
