    350 mag MPI will not turn up past 3500rpm

    From previous thread this is twin motors (for anyone looking) My mistake Many auto parts places will loan a hand held Tach. If it backs up the boat Tach then its something else and scanner is needed. With both doing the same it may be Rev limiter, knock sensor picking up detonation, sync if...

    1975 35 Double Alternator

    Are you sure it's 80ish, it could be a defective gauge? To verify remove sender and install a handheld mechanical gauge. If it is that high and the motor has not been modified (rebuilt with high volume oil pump) then it could be the pump bypass valve is stuck, filter or remote filter. Does the...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 no spark

    It looks to me like your motor has both connectors image 1079 for connector 94029 CAN and image 1082 for connector 94024 EGC. The 94029 is the newest connector, if it was me I would go with it 94024 - $59.00 94029 - $249.00 Diacom - $599.00 Techmate - $499.00 Kit 94030c - $719.00 Diacom with...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 no spark

    Your seeing fuel on the spark plugs so the injectors are firing, no need for NOID light. Any chance you gotten some bad fuel? Have you checked fuel pressure? Does look like its no spark You have power to the coil, distributor cap is new, need to scan motor to see if there are any codes.

    Plug is out and there is no water in the bilge, yet water is leaking around the housing? If above statement is true then no this isn't normal. Bounce on the drive real hard to see if transom flexes. If it does, then transom is soft

    Volvo Penta 5.7 no spark

    Don't know what it is other then the ECM is seeing a fault. A scanner will indicate which it is. Could be as simple Battery voltage going to low, or more complex like another sensor or ECM Your seeing fuel on the plugs then the injectors are firing.

    Volvo Penta 5.7 no spark

    Gauges are analog and showing 20 when engine is off just means it probably needs replaced. That said seeing 20 when off and 80 when running would tell me its about 60 when running which would be closer to accurate, and is good enough The diacom software would be best because it can record data...
