Yea, my parents have a 20' larson pleasure boat, with a small block ford, with a Volvo Penta Drive. Its not a speed demon, but it holds up to 10 people, and can pull a tube very well.
hey greaser did you ever check the power valve like we talked about the other day? even when you have the engine shut down after a run there is still enough pressure in the fuel line to fill the bowl,and if the power valve is busted it will dump right in the motor, maybe explaining your oil level problem and no oil pressure cause the oil thinned down so much. you could also have a float level too high!
Well, I went to talk to one of our local Drag racers, and he said he would take a look at it. So I took the boat to his shop, so hopefully he will get me going.
Are you running a mechanical fuel pump attached to the block??---if so, sometimes the diaphrams will come apart and leak gas into the oil---had one do it on an old ford years ago---if not---?????----check with some of the ford guys on the board here----I don't have good luck with fords!!!
No, I am running a holley blue electric. We tore down the carb, and changed the jets down 2 sizes (I bought the carb used, and the prev. owner had it jetted up), also found some trash in the front fuel bowl. We got it back together, and played with the timing abit and we are gonna try it out tomorrow after work.
Hey Omega...... I finally put a timing light on it :rollside:
