Hi All,
I have a Volvo AQ130 with a 270 outdrive.
Over the winter the engine has been struggling to lift water from the leg, and I have had to prime it using a hose directly into the filter. Once running it has been fine.
Today however it would not prime at all. So I though I would get a bucket of water and try and suck water from it directly off the water pump, thus cutting out the leg and water filter to rule out any blockages.
To my surprise I had exhaust gasses bubbling into the bucket with the engine running! It would not suck the water at all.
The impeller is tuning, but its a bit of a mystery to me?
Apart from this the engine is running well.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Louis
