    3.0 GS - Backfire and Ignition

    My 3.0 GS MNCS when set to base timing w/ shunt to 0 degrees per the manual, it starts and idles fine, but when going above 1/3 throttle it stutters and backfires.

    I am wondering what the best alternative is to use in place of Volvo Penta Sealing Compound 1141570 that is required on the plug and hose nipple on the manifold (I'm assuming the plug too). I found information here where Don states a little grease is all that is needed in place of the Volvo...

    Larson 174 SEI w/ Volvo 3.0 GS

    Hi! I have recently purchased a 1996 Larson, and it seems to have a small problem. I have been reading through posts and the Adults Only section, and based on what I've read I'm wondering if it might be a carb/fuel system problem. The boat starts right up and idle sounds fine. When moving...
