    Volvo Penta 4.3 Gi Conversion to 4.3 GL

    It's been raining in GA last couple days and will continue so I will check once I get a chance. It definitely is a more simple system than the early Gi engines... The GXIs have parts which are not hard to source at all, those and the GLs are far easier to work on.

    Volvo Penta 4.3 Gi Conversion to 4.3 GL

    I will check tomorrow and get back to you, fairly old 4.3GL. Fairly Certain its a GL-A. I am getting 12V at the Ignition and the Kill Switch when I last checked it. For the relay grounds are you talking about the pins that go into the relay holder or the grounds on the solenoids?

    Volvo Penta 4.3 Gi Conversion to 4.3 GL

    I converted the engine to a Carbureted version including the wiring harness from a 4.3 GL. Even though the harness from the Carbureted version plugs up to the original plug on the boat side it will not work? I put in a 4.3GL drop in engine. Most of the fuel system components looked trashed on...

    Volvo Penta 4.3 Gi Conversion to 4.3 GL

    Has anyone converted an originally Fuel Injected/TBI engine to a carbureted version? Wiring Harness connection is the same for the Gi and GL on my Chris Craft however I cannot even crank the engine with the key. The kill switch is new, ignition is new, all the relays on the engine have been...

    Mercruiser 5.0/5.7 EFI Timing

    I am looking to set my 5.0 EFI into time, I am not sure if it is the same as for the 5.0 Carb'd version or not... Please advise if you have a manual or timing specs for the 5.0 EFI/5.7 EFI engine.

    I already rebuilt the carb, risers and manifold are solid. It's a low hour fresh water boat. It looks like timing was off!

    Chris Craft Volvo Penta 4.3 Ignition does not turn engine over

    I only checked the purple on the motor side, not at the dash side. I did not check the voltage at the actual kill switch itself. My gauges are operational, not sure if gouges was referring to gauges instead.

    Chris Craft Volvo Penta 4.3 Ignition does not turn engine over

    4.3 GL-A, Carbureted engine. Turning the key in the ignition does nothing at all. Are you thinking its the neutral safety switch causing my issue? The wiring does not have any breaks or splits in it. The purple wire that comes from the kill switch has 12.5 volts. Battery of course is brand...

    Chris Craft Volvo Penta 4.3 Ignition does not turn engine over

    I'm having issues with getting my ignition to start my engine... I have already replaced the ignition switch, kill switch, and a new starter relay... I am still having issues with the engine not turning over. I am getting power to all my accessories along with the gauges. If I run a remote...

    2005 Volvo Penta 3.0 GL Dies Out at Idle/Running Rough

    Gotcha, that's exactly what I did when I pulled the drive.... Still the same issue. At this point I need to read these damn manuals and start doing the work myself. On the 3.0 GL timing is something I will have to redo on it before I move onto the cap, rotor, or plug wires. The carburetor I...

    2005 Volvo Penta 3.0 GL Dies Out at Idle/Running Rough

    Engine was put together according to spec and torqued correctly. I checked it over twice. I only started having the issue from the 3/4th time the engine was run on the hose. Other than that every other time it was started prior to my issue with the distributor it ran without any slight...

    2005 Volvo Penta 3.0 GL Dies Out at Idle/Running Rough

    They did have the shunt since I ordered one in for them. He told me the engine was running too rough in order to set it according to spec. He mentioned to me that the engine could be running rough from engine misalignment however I pulled the drive and checked alignment again... No binding at...

    2005 Volvo Penta 3.0 GL Dies Out at Idle/Running Rough

    Understood, I had a rebuild kit ordered in for the carburetor. Would that also contribute to the vibration from the engine as well?

    2005 Volvo Penta 3.0 GL Dies Out at Idle/Running Rough

    I would have to check what distributor is installed exactly, it was the original one that was on the engine before. Long story short the engine spun a bearing. Prior to that is was used without any issues. Timing was set by one of the mechanics I outsource, he turned the engine over until the...

    2005 Volvo Penta 3.0 GL Dies Out at Idle/Running Rough

    Yes the timing is set and as far as it running rough I am not sure if the valve lash would have anything to do with it but the valve lash has been adjusted as well.
