Hi everyone
I need help./..volvo penta 7.4 GI PWTR duo prop SM 1:95 on a Monterey 262
2 days ago going out with the family...started...no probl...then out of the marina...increased power to 3200 rpm...planig no issues...after 5 mins engine started stubbling then died.Tried to restart..nothing...after 3-4 mins...cranked but no start.Towed back to the marina...went to the boat in the afternoon and it started immediately as usual.Opened the fuel tank to check gauge operation...indications were correct,fuel gauge was correctly showing 1/4...(max tank capacity 70 gal may be low on fuel.I put 20 gallons of fuel with some cans...today i wanted to go refuelling..with 20 gals i can easily reach the gas station....started the engine no issues as soon as i started increasing the power above 1500 rpm started stubbling and died,tried to restart nothing,waited 5 mins and it started,put it in gear and quit.Wait 5 more mins,it started put it in gear and slowly reached the marina.By the time i parked it died.It did it already 3-4 times previously.Outdrive just serviced,engine impeller,oil belts etc serviced as well as the fuel filter.They use a 6 micron fuel filter i dunno if it is the right size anyway i am getting crazy....sometimes it starts and run with no problem(especially when the tank is full...as soon as the tank starts going below half...the problem starts...
i recently noted this plugs laying close to my fuel/water separator...i was thinking about the diagnostic port...it shows PED 12 on it...and there's another plug coming out....any help?
