"I have a Volvo 5.7GS with car
"I have a Volvo 5.7GS with carburator and an SX drive. Last week, on my way back to the marina, the steering became hard turning on either side.
I checked and could not find any leak. The power steering pump tank is full.
What would be the first thing to check? I thought the pressure valve could be the culprit but I run the engine and opened the fluid tank and I did not see any movement of the fluid. Is my pump bad? It's a mechanical pump run by a belt on the front port side of the engine.
Any tip from anybody who had similar experience with that engine would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Harry"
