    2003 Volvo Penta 4.3 GL - Engine starts and runs for about a 15 seconds but won't stay running.

    Item 14 is a relay and 7 is a breaker The breaker is main power to the motor. If it opens nothing works or turns ON The relay turn ON the fuel pump. If the fuel pump turns on for just one second, then maybe it would run for only 15 seconds. To test the theory, hot wire the fuel pump so it...

    1999 7.4mpi fuel pump issue?

    There is another Reg (item 5) on the fuel rail, or thats what Merc calls it. Its actually a fuel buffer. It buffers the pules of fuel from the FP. The Reg on the cool fuel takes care of the pressure https://www.mercruiserparts.com/bam/subassembly/31918/2705/130

    1999 7.4mpi fuel pump issue?

    The fuel pump is working so the relays are working. If the pump had trouble turning ON, then first thought would be swap the two. One is Main Power Relay (MPR) the other is FP Having low pressure would not be a relay problem

    Carb or worse?

    If you can find one at that price and its a quality rebuild, go for it. A reman goes for around 2500. If its a good running motor out of another boat, that to is good

    Carb or worse?

    No way to know without looking. Head removal is easy enough and while doing it the exhaust can be looked at. Might just need a head gasket

    Mercruiser 5.0 MPI Bravo 3 overheat 5 minutes after starting it up.

    If you connect the hose to the bottom of the check balls and water goes up and comes out past the ball, then it will keep water from going to the motor, and it will get to hot.

    1999 7.4mpi fuel pump issue?

    Coming up as an L29 Fuel pressure should be 43 psi running, and 28 would give it a lot of issue to run. Just wouldn't get enough fuel The 60 to 70 psi spike would give me the thought that the Regulator would be first suspect. Could remove the Reg and test it with air to see when it opens The...

    Mercruiser 5.0 MPI Bravo 3 overheat 5 minutes after starting it up.

    Then its the thermostat housing, the thermostat, Cir pump or those check balls. Take the large hose off the Cir pump and serpentine belt off pulley. Then take a stiff wire and get it up inside where the vanes are on the pump. See if you can hold the pump vanes and still turn the pump pulley...
