I have a AQ130c 270 volvo motor on a boat I jjust purchased.
My question is, the boat has been sitting for 10 years, it was winterized before sitting up, If you poor gas in the Carbs it will start right up, I knew the gas was very old in it so I cleaned the gas tank and fuel filter, put more gas in it and when I try to start it it does not start, It seems as if the gas is not going through, do I need to prime it or what do I need to do.
I took off what I am assuming is the antisiphon valve and I sucked gas up through it and I can blow through the fuel filter so I am assuming both of those are fine? I did notice there is gas under neath the fuel pump like maybe it is leaking. I found the priming lever but when I push the lever it gives no resistance until you get it all the way down and it gives very little resistance so I was not sure if it was working correctly. Thanks for all the help
Is there anyway to take the fuel pump apart and find out if it is working?
