Hello All,
I have the above boat and it has been covered and stored outdoors for over 2 years. I transported it from the Finger Lakes region of NY to SE Georgia. I did not turn the gas off and the engine oil pan had a lot of gas in it along with gas floating in the intake manifold below the carb. Engine turned over real hard and it only went about 1/16 of a turn and turned very hard. I drained the oil/gas (3 gallons) and put come light hyd fluid in the cylinders to help lube them and let it set for 2 weeks. I changed the oil and filter and filled it with oil. I removed the distributor and operated the oil pump to prime the engine. The pump is pumping oil, checked by removing Oil Sending unit. However I am not getting any oil at the cylinder heads and possibly not at the cam or cranks shafts either. I removed a valve cover and observed no oil getting to heads. Does anyone have an idea as to why I am not getting oil to the heads however it is pumping oil through the filter housing and Oil Pressure sending unit port.
This boat is an I/O with a Volvo OD.
Thank you for any assistance you may have for me.
