"I have a 98 5.7 volvo.. originally put in water and somehow water came thru stern and hydro locked #8>> fast forward.. Put reman'ed long block and popped and no power, mechanic said rebuild carb, did, worse. He also added that diaphram was bad in fuel pump so hard to start once sits for while?? Ordered, but could a bad fuel pump be causing problem? pops from carb under load, runs rough low rpm's and no power?? Beyond changing fuel pump, dead end?? wouldn't fuel pump not run engine or would it run and lean as it is doing? Revs fine out of water? thanks"
