    Volvo Penta 5.7 GSi PLKD timing mark out of scale

    What you have there is a dog of mixed unknown parentage, here in New Orleans known as a Ki-yoodle. I have had that sort of thing end up in my shop, a loose-loose situation. Holes drilled in the flywheel is no problem, all solid styles have them. If the owner wants to do it right he should buy a...

    Old ford 302 no spark

    Start it up with the flame arrestor off to be sure if you have a stuck valve or a problem inside the engine. What is the oil pressure?

    Bearing carrier stuck

    Sierra # 18-79813 puller. $205.00 from Summit Racing free shipping is the best price posted. I have had one of these for 35 years. Never failed. I realize not everyone on this site will want one. Still should be used with some heat if the carrier is really stuck or you will destroy the...

    Old ford 302 no spark

    I thought you had a timing light. If not get one. One other thing to double check is mame sure that when the “0” TDC mark is lined up with the pointer the #1piston is at TDC also. Sometimes the outer ring on the balancer will slip and the timing marks are wrong. Do not even try to use the...

    Old ford 302 no spark

    The most accurate way to set the dwell is with the spark plugs out and the coil wire grounded. Spin the engine and adjust the points to 30*, the points are going to look like they are too close but do not worry about it and leave the feeler gauge in the tool box. Put the plugs in and set the...

    Transmission Spewing Water

    It looks like you found the problem. You will have to remove the propeller and hopefully there is a slight off set of the rudder so the shaft can be pulled.

    Transmission Spewing Water

    If the transmission cooler has an internal leak , your transmission has water in it. The water is blowing out of the front seal.

    Transmission Spewing Water

    It may be a core plug in the rear of the engine block. To me it appears to be coming out of the flywheel housing.

    A test light and a multi meter are 2 of the best tools for diagnosing electrical problems with your boat along with some various length jumper wires also a remote starter button kit.

    Just to be sure check the voltage that powers the coil while cranking and running.

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GSi PLKD timing mark out of scale

    One thing I remember about Volvo ignition switches is that the key has to be rotated about 180* which is their version of the “by pass” circuit that puts 12 volts to the ignition. If the boat this engine was in has that style of ignition switch may be the reason it takes more time for the...

    Old ford 302 no spark

    That is the wrong type. It would be correct for the trim pump however. 65057 A1 MM#. 18-5802 Sierra # is the grounded base type you need. You can get a replacement resistor wire at a NAPA store. Measure the length of the wire. Also NAPA has the marine type solenoid you need I have purchased...

    Old ford 302 no spark

    Take a look at the wire diagram that AD posted. You will see that the solenoid for a Ford engine uses a grounded base solenoid. All other solenoids used are usually non grounded base and use one of the small terminals usually marked “I” which can be confusing. If you used a non grounded base...

    3.0 litre Mercruiser sterndrive oil issue

    The kind I have had the best luck with is the tapered square style. Sometimes I think that the reverse tapered style expands the broken fitting and tightens it more.

    Old ford 302 no spark

    Since you had 12volts going straight to the points and condenser there is a good chance that the spring that closes the points has lost it’s tension by over heating and the condenser is cooked. At this point you should convert to a Petronics electronic conversion.

    3.0 litre Mercruiser sterndrive oil issue

    Go to a contractor style plumbing warehouse or if you have a plumber friend. They will have the correct extractor. Probably the smaller sender was for a light on the instrument panel or a alarm like Scott06 described that lets you know the ignition is on and the engine is either not running or...

    Old ford 302 no spark

    You had me scratching my head for awhile. Yes you do have a Mercruiser harness. There is either a circuit breaker or a fuse where the #10 red wire is connected to the solenoid on the trim pump.

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GSi PLKD timing mark out of scale

    I am not familiar with your wiring harness but try checking if you have 12 volts at the +or bat side of your coil while in cranking mode. I realize this has nothing to do with the timing but might help in starting. Is the fuel pressure present while cranking also?
