Engine type: Volvo Penta AQ120B. I think carbeuretor is empty, but not sure(I think he may have run gas out of engine when boat was last used, not sure). I opened up gas tank(via float assy.) and gas is at least in liquid form and smells like gas, etc. I will remove gas from tank. Unknown: carb., should gas have been left in carb. Do not want to take carb. apart. Also, if gas had been in carb., could it be in a "varnish" form? Any ideas on things to do/check if carb. is OK? Do not want to take carb apart.

Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

When they dry out and get porous, the pump suck air instead of fuel. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
