    Volvo Steering Actuator unscrewed itself

    That was my thought as well. I see not point for this threaded point to rotate so I'm leaning towards some locktite

    Volvo Steering Actuator unscrewed itself

    So, I had the crimp / ferral right behind the power steering pump crack on the high pressure hose while I was out (where the hard line goes to the rubber part of the hose). Put a hose clamp on it to get by and refilled the reservoir. Hard to steer one way and the rubber PS lines were jumping...

    Volvo penta dp-sm splitting outdrive questions

    Must be. No good place to pry or tap either. I got a small screw driver in the most aft area and I can get it spread to see daylight and worked forward towards the bow, but near those studs it will not budge. It seems to me the nuts on those 4 studs were tightened and displaced aluminum to...

    Volvo penta dp-sm splitting outdrive questions

    Any tricks to pulling the Two halves apart? 4 nuts are loose, 2 large bolts in the back from the bottom, and one screw from the top are all out. Is it common for these two halves to corrode together? There is nothing in the prop area I need to do, right?

    Volvo penta dp-sm splitting outdrive questions

    New to me boat...haven't pulled the drive yet. Been boating a long time and always had a mercruiser, so this volvo setup is new to me. Where can I find the part numbers for the seal kit?

    Volvo penta dp-sm splitting outdrive questions

    There is a plate above the prop on my volvo dp sm drive that was cracked and missing a piece. It appears to be part of the Planing surface of the drive as well as part of the exhaust. Anyways, looks like I have to split the upper and lower sections to get one bolt out of that plate. Question...

    8.1 gi-b misfire / backfire

    Update and issue solved. Sent injectors out for cleaning since all diacom data seemed reasonable other than the iac was darn near wide open trying to keep it running and the timing light said it was sparking. Has to replace one injector, and don't try to cross reference to a gm part number...

    8.1 gi-b misfire / backfire

    I checking it under load when the issue was happening. Stayed at 40 psi. Granted, I cant run it up to high RPM with this issue so I can't check it there yet, but when thus backfire / miss happens fuel pressure is 40 psi. Trust me, I was hoping this was it.

    8.1 gi-b misfire / backfire

    I'm down to this. I bought a gm cross reference injector set and it ran worse with same symptoms. Turns put volvo put like 42lb/ht injectors on it and gm ran something like 26 or 36 lb/hrs. Injectorsnarenbeing sent out for cleaning and balance and flow test. I destroyed one getting it out.

    8.1 gi-b misfire / backfire

    Really, I thought 8psi on the low pressure pump and 40 on the high pressure pump, all plus or minus 4 psi was the spec. What do you think it should be? Totally agreed on flow testing injectors

    8.1 gi-b misfire / backfire

    Key on engine off I've the throttle through the range of motion and it went from 0 to 100 % pretty smooth. Not sure what happens when you unplug the map. I assumed the speed density map had to have that to run?

    8.1 gi-b misfire / backfire

    8.1l gi-b chapparal 26ssi 2002. I'm pulling my hair out here. Idle seems a bit rough, gets way worst with throttle advanced. Will pop / backfire. Compression all cylinders at or near 150psi. Replaced spark plugs. A few looked Carbon-ed up. Diacom power balance test shows 6 and 8 are not...

    Outdrive or gimble bearing noise and overfill

    This is an odd one. I was in some rough water and flooded the boat pretty bad trying to get to land. Water up to the distributor in the engine bay. Engine was still running and we got it pumped out. Obviously water got into the gimble and bellows as the drive shaft was under water. Got on...
