I have a older 1971
wood ketch with a original
Volvo MD3. It doesen run -seems the
fuel injector pump is faulty--1 cyl squirts feebly-another barely and the third not at all from the
ports where the injector tubes are connected to the
pump.With the
boat comes a "spare
engine for
parts -however this
engine is in Tennessee and Im in Tampa.Im thinking of going there and stripping the heads,and of course the injector punp--however this is still a old engine and may do lotsa
work and still not work!(old story I know)Im concerned that I wont get the timing right when I switch injector pumps(flying blind here).Today a new possibility sprang up- I can get a
Yanmar 3QM 30----for $1500 however it has a
transmission problema in that at slow speeds it jumps out of forward gear! Does anyone here know what the cause and fix is for this?I had a
yanmar engine like this before and it worked perfectly for 12 years and I had bought it used too...............HELP!
