    Hi. As said. Definitely bleed that fuel rail

    Volvo Penta md5a fuel not reaching engine after filter change

    You’ll know next time you run her. Wee word of caution though. It’s maybe not a great idea to run that wee engine for too long without load on her. They struggle to get up to temp that way and isn’t too great for the engine. Tend to wash diesel down the bores into the oil that way. Smoke lots...

    No power to fuel injectors

    I think id be unplugging everything I could to dry out. There are many sensors and ancillaries in like that require a feed to operate properly. Take one delicate component out the system and it all goes wrong

    No power to fuel injectors

    Have you tried it with no smart craft connected and the weather cap back on the plug ? Likely not the issue perhaps…but if there is any suspicion around water ingress or exposure…I’d be un plugging all electrical plugs and drying them out, with some electrical cleaner too. Especially around the...

    Honda BF25 identification

    Is there a number on the core bursting freezing plug ? If it has one ?

    Over prop? How to know?

    Would say you’re likely right there. Not as specific to give the various states I’d say.

    Over prop? How to know?

    The 115 merc ct is definitely controlled idle by ecu. No doubt about it. I have one of them. Great engines. Mine sits about 650-700 ish. But they can also raise their idle or in gear idle speed if they need more charge to the battery. Very clever

    Over prop? How to know?

    I presumed it was a 2011 motor. Might be wrong. But if it is..a Honda 90 that age or anything after 2007/08 will be fuel injected I’m sure.

    Over prop? How to know?

    You’d imagine the IAC controls the idle rpm. The IAC of course, often, is controlled by an ecu.

    Cylinder head would be a common cause on this engine, if I have my engines correct

    Sport Jet 120 info needed

    I’d say that if you don’t need a jet boat…then there is totally no reason to have one where you could use and have an outboard or outdrive boat instead. They are ridiculously inefficient, screaming noisy and poor on performance, like for like compared.

    Volvo Penta md5a fuel not reaching engine after filter change

    Aye. You technically can can leave the pre filter empty…but I can also suggest that doing so, can be a total pain in the bum. Especially to the unaware fella. It can and will give the false impression, on occasion, that you are fully bled with air free fuel from the secondary filter…but what’s...

    Volvo Penta md5a fuel not reaching engine after filter change

    Just had a thought there. I don’t suppose you perhaps managed to fit an extra seal to the primary filter, that wasn’t needed, but came in the box and made you think it should be ? Usually the filters for these kind of things come with a couple of seals to make them more universally suitable...

    Volvo Penta md5a fuel not reaching engine after filter change

    These are insert/adapters. Depending on what suits your installed arrangement. I’m sure I read a post from you earlier on this. Did that post suggest that your friend said that the engine was self bleeding or something? If it did…I replied suggesting what you need to do, step by step. Anytime...

    Volvo Penta md5a fuel not reaching engine after filter change

    All as above and make sure the filter and lines are going the right direction too. Some of these filters are uni directional

    Volvo DP 290 Breaking Props

    Hi. Traditionally, diesels came with A series props…but some cruisers did actually come fitted with b series props and mated to diesels. Most, if not all that I know of that came as that, were associated with the later kad42 engines though. Anyway. It’s likely you had A4 or maybe A3 original...

    Engine hour gauge

    That’s the one. Knew there was some of them
  18. Q

    Over prop? How to know?

    I think maybe if it was actually 1200 rpm at idle…it wouldn’t be too long before the gearbox ends up in bits. Is it not audibly uncomfortable shifting into gear, if you think it is actually 1200 ? Anyway. If I was you…I’d find out the gear ratio on it…then run some numbers into a prop slip...

    Replacing in-line fuel filter on 5.7L MPI

    I have the 3213 filter on my outboard boat. Not sure it would be the same fitting. But I’d maybe say that if you want one of these so you can see any signs of anything…you might be disappointed. The bowl on the bottom will only show you if you have water collected in there, if that. Mostly you...

    Replacing in-line fuel filter on 5.7L MPI

    To be fair…the racor draining filter I have is inboard and fitted to an outboard boat. Thinking on it now…I can’t say I’m aware of an inboard Petrol boat that has them in the engine bay. Fair play.
