Hey everyone. Read through the current posts. Just wanting to confirm I've diagnosed correctly before spending more money.
I just bought an '06 Chaparral with the Merc 496 Mag. When water testing, it beeped once at about 2-3k RPM and then throttled back on it's own. Did it a couple more times...
Hey everyone,
I successfully removed the steering fork for my VP DP-D1 so I could replace the plastic bushings. The main questions I have are regarding the V-Ring (lip) seal that keeps water from going up the steering fork shaft and into the bilge (item 16 on the attached parts breakdown). I...
Hello,
I posted this in the maintenance section, but it was suggested I repost here to get more eyes on it since it's a Volvo Penta specific question.
I have a 1994 Chris Craft 268 with a VP 7.4 GL DPDM. It has a VP DP-D1 drive on it with transom assembly TSK DP-S. Seeing as how the...
Hello,
I have a 1994 Chris Craft 268 with a VP 7.4 GL DPDM. It has a VP DP-D1 drive on it with transom assembly TSK DP-S. Seeing as how the intermediate bearings can't both be removed without pulling the engine and removing the housing, is there any way or any need to get grease in them? They...
Hey everyone,
I just went through the Holley 4150 750cfm on my VP 7.4GL, and put new 2.5 power valves in it. I also found that the jets were backwards from what I had read they should be (from the link below. I have 80378-1). I moved the 56 jet to the front and the 73 to the rear.
My problem...
Hey everyone,
Here's another stumper I can't seem to find a good answer to. I have a 94 Chris Craft 268 with a VP 7.4GL stern drive setup, and it's very difficult to shift from reverse back into neutral. Forward to neutral seems to work okay, but reverse into neutral is very difficult and can...
Re: 1994 Volvo 7.4 GL Alternator Wiring
Don,
I got through the information you sent me. Thanks a ton. I'll apply it tomorrow to test the alternator.
The plot thickens a little. I was looking at the wiring diagram on page 3-18, and it shows a 50 amp circuit breaker between the alternator POS...
Re: 1994 Volvo 7.4 GL Alternator Wiring
It's a guess on my part, but it looks like a fusible link used on cars. Not really sure of it's function on cars either, but someone with a lot of car experience mentioned it, and I found something that looked like it disconnected on my boat alternator...
Hey Everyone,
I searched the forums but can't find anything to help me on this topic.
I just picked up a 1994 Chris Craft 268 Concept, and it has a 93/94 VP 7.4GL DPDM in it. When I bought it, it had new batteries, and I luckily discovered before being left dead in the water that the...
