    Volvo oil pressure reads 80 psi all times

    Excellent idea from AD…but I’m sure it can’t be the gauge itself. That’s just doing what the resistance is telling it to do, you’d think. What make or brand is the gauge you have ? Any pics

    Volvo oil pressure reads 80 psi all times

    Genius. Raging I didn’t think of that now ! Haha. Think it’s the oil pressure gauge he is having issue with. But I won’t take points off for that 😂

    Volvo oil pressure reads 80 psi all times

    I think your wires must be shorting somewhere near the gauge, when the ignition is turned on

    2002 Yamaha 200 HPDI. Appreciate any help

    No problem. Yeah…I don’t think it’s an injector issue at all. I’d likely be looking more towards the O2 sensor, temperature sensor or thermostat/running temperature (that may cause her to run rich, thinking she cold) tps, oil supply rate, plug gap etc.

    Volvo oil pressure reads 80 psi all times

    Is 80 psi the maximum reading on the gauge ? I may be getting mixed up in my post earlier. Was attempting to multitask…badly ! I was thinking more around fuel gauges. The same may apply to oil pressure too, I suspect. If I’ve got it right off the top of my head…the US senders should read about...

    Volvo oil pressure reads 80 psi all times

    Wonder if the sender and or gauge are miss matched between the European and Us types. One reads from minimum ohms up and the other from higher ohms down.

    Oil Change Vacuum Merc Adapters

    Just put it down the dipstick tube. All will be well. I’ve only ever done exactly that. Good argument that you’ll get more oil out this way too.

    Hi. I’m afraid your engine is not compatible with the smart craft option. It’s all analogue on your unit.

    yamaha 2013 waverunner

    Hi Dom. what particular model and engine are we talking about here ? Have we checked the basics like fuel filter and similar ? Is there signs of unburnt fuel out the exhaust that may show in the water or as a smelly mist on the trailer, that may suggest leaking injectors ? Have we pulled the...

    2002 Yamaha 200 HPDI. Appreciate any help

    I must admit, I don’t know much about the Yamaha vst di system, but a couple of assumptions or questions perhaps, from what little I do know about basic Di systems of other makes and perhaps a little from here and there. As far as I know there is usually a fuel pressure regulator that is worth...

    Anyone had electrical issues caused by plotter/fish finder ? Dragonfly in particular

    Thanks for looking into that. Appreciate it. Yeah, you’d think it would be no problem. But definitely found issue with its cable harness and or connector. Problem has completely gone after removing it all.

    Anyone had electrical issues caused by plotter/fish finder ? Dragonfly in particular

    Yeah. It’s through the ground. No nmea available in those units. Read online that there may be known issue with the wiring harness since posting

    Why Oil Injection?

    Love reading and hearing such things ! Brilliant. Guys like yourself should make certain that they scribe/write down, or at least verbally pass on things like this. Things like this will soon be gone from living memory. I’m middle aged myself, but was lucky enough to remember my father having a...

    Anyone had electrical issues caused by plotter/fish finder ? Dragonfly in particular

    After spending an age trying to track down electrical shorting or earthing issues all around the boat and engine too…I am 99% certain that it was all caused by the dragonfly unit. In particular from the harness loom from transducer/power supply that plugs into the back of the unit.

    Why Oil Injection?

    You’re spot on jimmbo. As far as I can remember, the seadoo di 951 I was cursed with owning years ago, had a system that put some oil to the throttle bodies…and or injectors…as well as obviously directly supplying oil to other distribution lines to specific areas around the engine.

    Why Oil Injection?

    Should probably add, that oil injection (autolube, vro and similar) set ups are very different from the more recent di engine set ups. The former, you could do away with the oil injection and pre mix. The latter, you can’t (as far as I am aware), due to the way the oil is distributed Upside of...

    I had no idea that 30 weight was once used for 2 strokes. Always learning on here.
