"My Volvo Penta 4.3L GL (1
"My Volvo Penta 4.3L GL (1999) will not come up to temperature. Even after heavy use (inner-tubing), engine is still cool to the touch at the(intake manifold), the output hose after the thermostat is cool and soft, and the temp gauge does not go above 100F. I tested the thermostat in a pot of boiling water, and it opens per spec @ 160F. Guage (Faria) was replace, and is reading 6.3 Volts (cold) at both the gauge and sending unit. Volts drops slightly to 6.2 after the engine has run for a while."
