    Lost power

    Buy it right now. For future reference you have an MD model. The Volvo MD and the OMC MD are identical since this is one of the joint venture years. Another BTW...a lot of people that have these EFI Fords pull the EFI and put carbs on them when they can't fix the EFI....just a warning for you...

    Here is a manual set for your model number MD. Fortunately, this set has the Ford EFI diagnostics book. Those are hard to come by. BTW...this is a bargain!!! https://www.ebay.com/itm/164773216020?hash=item265d3fbf14:g:eek:D0AAOSwx~hgV4uB

    It needs to be pumping fuel to test. The bigger problem is testing the high pressure pump. I have zero idea how to test this Ford high pressure pump. I do not have a manual for this engine. That's the first thing you need to get before you proceed any further

    This is the page that shows the parts of your fuel system. There is another pump besides the one above the filter. http://www.volvopentastore.com/Intake-And-Exhaust-System/dm/cart_id.566785989--session_id.892541834--store_id.366--view_id.782705 Just so you know, you have a Ford engine, the...

    Did the filter have fuel in it? Was it full of fuel?

    Turn on the fuel pumps manually using jumpers(pin 87 to 30) and measure your fuel pressure. You may only have one fuel pump on yours. Can you post your model number?

    Questions regarding tow vehicle

    Even with a WDH you need a proper amount of tongue weight. Should be between 7% to 10% on a tandem boat trailer. My WDH doesn't need a separate sway control bar...it's built into the design of the hitch. It will also work with surge brakes since it is not a chain type equilizing hitch. If you...

    Master Switch Circuit Breaker Pops when ignition key is turned on

    One way would be to isolate at the engine connector. The only problem is that the power going to the helm goes through that same connector so you would have to jump around it. You could unplug, jump the power and then try your test and see if the circuit breaker pops. If it does, the short is on...

    2007 larson 5.0 gl no power to fuel pump

    Pull the relay, jumper the relay socket(30 to 87) to get the pump turned on and start the motor. Measure the voltage coming off the alternator L1 terminal. Then measure the voltage at the relay 85 terminal. If you get voltage at the alternator and not at pin 85, your diode is bad. My guess, its...

    Questions regarding tow vehicle

    It may be called a class IV hitch but those are the ratings. On the sticker it actually says V-5 I thought about it but I found the exact same hitch I use for my travel trailer which is the E4 Equilizer for less than a different receiver and it tows WAY better with the WDH than without.

    Questions regarding tow vehicle

    My F-150 has a the OEM hitch that is rated for 500# TW and 5000# total towing weight. Anything higher is recommended to be a WDH. I use a WDH with my boat which is likely 6800# total with a 650# tongue weight.

    Shifter question?

    I find that very hard to believe. What happen if the throttle is on the port side of the boat? Yes...I have seen boats like that.

    Volvo Penta 3.0 GLP-D (PCV valve popping off while running - carbon buildup on boat thru exhaust)

    I have PVC valves on my pool equipment! Never see one on an automotive engine before.

    Volvo Penta 3.0 GLP-D (PCV valve popping off while running - carbon buildup on boat thru exhaust)

    I stand corrected. Kinda interesting it has an elbow as well. Wonder what the PCV even does.

    There are no PCVs on boat engines with carbs.

    Why not call the company and ask them what the sizes are?
