hey im having trouble with my
hey im having trouble with my volvo penta engine 275 1990 4 cylinder. i took it out last weekend it ran fine for about an hour. then on my way back in i had the throttle all the way cruising along then the motor just bogged down to a very low idle i was still moving but very very slow i messed with the carburator throttle for a few minutes and it suddenly kicked back in then 5 min later it did the same thing. i got it back on the trailer and got it home and was looking it over i didnt see anything noticeable except that there was absolutely no coolant in it bone dry and i had topped it off about 1 month ago so im was concerned someone told me that the head gasket could be blown but i wanted to see if anybody had any ideas thanks
