    Volvo Penta 3.0GSP-C Engine Dies, Then Restarts Normally

    Thank you for the response! I'm guessing this will help me confirm the presence of fuel coming into the carburetor? If the pressure is lower than expected, then there could be an issue in the fuel supply anywhere upstream of the carburetor, such as these issues described below from the...

    High Temperature Alarm Diagnosis

    Hello, I'm new to the forum and somewhat of a new boat owner (3rd year), so I apologize in advance if this post doesn't follow the rules or my logic is flawed. I own a 2002 190 Wellcraft Excalibur Sport Platinum with a Volvo Penta 3.0GSP-C engine. After running for 5 minutes @ ~1,500-2000 rpm...
