engine will not fire

[biggunsrus]

i have a 2009 volvo penta 4.3L. Today was the first day that I had it out. got it in the water and we were going along and when i got out of the no wake zone and accelerated, it killed. I jiggled around the battery connections and got it started and exactly the same thing happened, but this time i could not get it started again. it's like it will turnover but not fire.

its an old battery so I bought a new one and went back to the lake to try again...and same thing. anybody know what might cause this?

thank you in advance for any responses.

Re: engine will not fire

What is the full model number or the serial number of your engine?

Re: engine will not fire

Your full model number is 4.3GL-J That J is really necessary and is part of the FULL model number.
Also, when I went to the Volvo site and used your engine serial number, I got this message.

Your Volvo Penta product is subject of a recall campaign. At your earliest convenience, please contact your Volvo Penta dealer to schedule an appointment for this important service. State your engine serial number as a reference. Consult your Volvo Penta dealer before operating your Volvo Penta product again.

Not sure what it's about, but it might be part of your problem.

Go to this site http://www.volvopenta.com/volvopent...lication_search/pages/publication_search.aspx and type i your SN. You can see for yourself.
