Hey everyone,
This trouble is with a 2003 Reinell 20' Ski/fish with the 5.0 Volvo GL-B. (275 hours). This year I've had it out about 4 or 5 times and noticed an issue that seems to be getting worse:
Initial start and run is good, I usually run for about 45 minutes to a fishing spot. Then, after fishing for an hour I fire it up and take off. The engine gets about up to plane, or maybe on plane for a few (it varies), then it shuts down completely and won't start for about 3-5 minutes. This happens twice on a trip. It MAY be helped if I let it idle for 3 minutes prior to taking off but i only tried that once...it did help whether randomly or not.
-There is a burning odor somewhere north of the drivers seat (smells maybe like burning plastic or something.
-The odor is not around the engine compartment
-When I try to restart it acts like the kill switch isn't attached (it is but I usually disconnect and reattach). The engine eventually, reluctantly sometimes, starts.
-I do air out the engine compartment, using the blower prior to running, and also have opened the hatch after this happens, just to be sure.
-The most troubling thing is the burning smell....maybe around the ignition, maybe around the kill switch...idk.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
