I tore the engine down as I stated earlier to get the pistons free. I ended up taking it all apart!!!! Took the pistons out and destroyed two of them to try to get the rings free from sitting and from salt water exposure. Ordered new rod bearings and got two good used pistons. Put it all together, with new plugs, electronic ignition, filled her with oil, sprayed some carb cleaner in the carb, and BOOM!!!! She fired right up!!!! I did the war dance and yelled so loud I thought my neighbors were gonna call the police!!!
It didn't run long..........I had fuel pump problems. So I had to wait til the following weekend to get back in her!
When I came back the following weekend, I sparayed some carb cleaner in the carb and tried to turn it over. (Just for the gratification of reviving this boat from a 6 year nap)
Didn't budge. I thought maybe my battery was weak. Tried jumping it........NOPE!!!!
This engine was locked again!!!!!! Once again I broke out the trusty pry bar with no luck.
This is a picture of the volvo after the first start. Notice I have all but the cooling system in place.
I knew the engine didn't over heat because I think it only ran for a total of about fifteen minutes. Something else hung it up.
Tore it back apart very angrilly to find pin holes in the #1 wall. They were going into the water jacket. Also the oil pan was full of metallic oil.
MAIN BEARINGS!!!! Didn't check them!!! AUGHHHHH!!!!!!
