    Engine alarm won’t stop

    I have a 2015 Volvo Penta V8 275 that we can’t get the check engine alarm to quit. The previous manager hauled it to the shop where they said it is throwing a misfire code. They changed the spark plugs and sent it back but the alarm still sounds. Reports from the renters is that the alarm varies...

    Suzuki DF250S pumping fuel into air intake

    By the way… This one pumps fuel out the evap purge hose an into the intakes or across the top of the engine depending on how the motor is trimmed. The pattern suggests the evap purge valve is working since fuel only comes out when the motor is running and flow is intermittent. I pulled the hose...

    Suzuki DF250S pumping fuel into air intake

    I drove it to the ramp and hauled it to the shop this afternoon. I don’t know that I have any faith in the shop I took it too since he told me on the phone he had never heard of raw fuel being dumped into the air intakes of these engines but we’ll see if he can fix it. I put “fuel coming out of...

    Suzuki DF250S pumping fuel into air intake

    Just hanging out over the water looking at this thing. The evap purge valve is normally closed. It doesn’t seem to let air pass with the electricity off and from reading how purge valves work in general it seems just unplugging it should keep fuel from dumping all over the place. Seems like a...

    Suzuki DF250S pumping fuel into air intake

    That’s why I asked about capping the hose. The evap purge valve isn’t open full time.

    Suzuki DF250S pumping fuel into air intake

    I have been doing a lot of internet reading and studying parts manuals. The fuel is coming out the evap purge hose. Most things I read suggest a problem with the float in the VST (as mentioned above). This boat is 3 miles from the nearest ramp. I would like to drive it there rather than arrange...

    Suzuki DF250S pumping fuel into air intake

    Thank you, I knew there was a high pressure pump but didn’t know about the VST. I will have to trace the hose down from the shiny gadget (evap purge valve, if I am reading the diagram correctly) to see where it goes. Assuming that is the problem, are there ways to check out the VST other than...

    Suzuki DF250S pumping fuel into air intake

    I don’t know what a VST is nor did I know anything with a fuel injection system would have a float in the system. The fuel line to the airbox traced back to a small shiny gadget with 2 wires mounted on the top left of the engine. I should have chased the wires, they may go to what I believe is a...

    Suzuki DF250S pumping fuel into air intake

    I am a mechanic by trade but new to boats. Most things I work on are not fuel injected either. The other day I towed in a rental boat that wouldn't run. The driver said they were just idling around when it died. I couldn't get the primer bulb to pump up so I assumed an air leak somewhere. Two...
