Thank you for this video! I was able to rebuild my 2 barrel Holley carb in about 3 hours based on the clear and concise video - would not have been able to do this without it! I spent about 2 of the 3 hours scraping old crusty gaskets vs. replacing parts. Thanks again for this clear, concise, informative video! Dave Raicevich
This video single-handedly saved me and my father-in-law’s summer! We’ll be out on the lake for 4th of July now! Thank you so much for posting this video!
I did mine about 3 yrs ago. I was curious about the settings. So I check the float level and such before I removed them....just to make sure they were in range....after I did this the boat would run for a while then die....... it was scting like it was running out of gas....DROVE me CRAZY, then I discovered I needed to replace the water fuel separator.....amazing at how we over look thinks like that... Thanks for the post. GREAT JOB!!!
At 6:03, what is the red valve thing called? My carb kit didn't come with one and the original was loose in the diaphram, trying to find how to request that - will likely need to get another kit I bet. I think the audio quality is fine, and orientation works fine on a phone if you hold it upright. Thanks for the video!!
I'm not 100% certain what you mean, but the float should be resting on an angle with no fuel. Once the fuel fills up it floats and prevents excess fuel into the carb. Give me some more info and I'll try and help.
Why take the electric choke off at all? Just curious. I'm in the middle of rebuilding my carb. I have to wait for the bigger accelerator pump diaphragm and the umbrella valve to arrive, as they weren't in the kit I ordered. Oh, and you got lucky. Mine has never been touched before, so it still had the OEM Volvo gaskets. Volvo glued the gaskets to the carb and I had to use a Dremel and a wire brush to remove the gasket and residue. Took hours.
I'm also wondering about the accelerator pump. Looks like you took out a 50cc & replaced it with a 30cc. Did it run after rebuild or have a stutter on take off? Also wondering if the extra travel from the 50cc will tear the 30cc diaphragm apart after awhile or does it all adjust out in the adjustment?
i have the 5.0 boat starts no problem when i pour fuel into carb i have fuel up to carb. Is it possible to just pull the cover with 4 screws and clean the jet. trying to winterize. may do a rebuild in spring never had a issue before not sure i need to rebuild
WHY DID YOU SKIP THE CHOKE IDLE CAM SET UP? HOW DOES THE TINY SPRING GO ON THE TWO TABS THAT ATTACH TO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE THROTTLE SHAFT?...."HELP!"........."cheers!"
Sorry that I missed something. I've rewatched the video and I'm sorry, but don't understand your question. I want to help you solve the issue though. Can you give me something in the video to reference?
@@ShadetreeMechanic YEAH ,There are two interacting levers on the throttle shaft ,on the choke side of the carb. there is a spring in the middle of them. Mine was broken and I was able to find a replacement but I don't know how everything goes back together since Murphy helped me take them off and now he won't tell me how they work the choke high idle cam assy...I thought I had them on correctly, but now the spring holds the adjuster screw up off of the cam and it causes the idle to fluctuate and the rpms to run at 2k. The idle adjuster screw has no effect now....I've already tested for leaks w/ WD-40. "No leaks" ....1963 NOVA station wagon w/ 194ci 6 cyl.& THM 350 trans & HEI ignition. ................."cheers!"
Alright, I understand what your asking about now, the trouble is my boats in storage and I don't have access to the carburetor to make a video for you. If you can wait a few months I'd be happy to do it for you.
@@ShadetreeMechanic "Daily driver"....Thanks anyway....AT LEAST YOU ANSWERED.......I'm one of them guy's who never stops looking for a lost tool "or" a solution............"Keep the Faith"..........."cheers!"
@@ShadetreeMechanic Thanks for the reply. For the idler needles, i just screwed them all the way in and backed them out 1.5 turns as a starting place. When i removed them, i had 7 and 8 turns, respectively, but upon re-installation, they bottomed out after several turns. My friends kit didn't have "cork" gaskets for the idler needles which makes me a little nervous. Also, the gasket on the top didn't seem to fit correctly either. I really appreciate your time making this video. It helped a tremendous amount. This is exactly what my friend has and there are so many variants of this style of carburetor it can be a challenge to get the correct rebuild kit.
@@NCSUME1 I couldn't agree more. There are so many carbs and so many kits. Seems like a crap shoot if you get everything you need. Made this page to help people and its really great to hear people find it helpful.
@@ShadetreeMechanic Not only was it helpful, but I sincerely appreciate the time it takes to put a video together and edit it. Much less one that is actually informative. So many thanks again from NC. Have a great weekend.
Can you tell me what hooks to the brass fitting (vacuum????) on the electric choke portion. I bought a used boat and nothing was hooked to it but it is pulling vacuum when running?
So forgive me, but I have no idea what the purpose of that brass fitting does. On my carburetor, as far as I can tell it does nothing, however after alot of internet searching, I found an image of a Holley carburetor with a vacuum hose attached to that brass fitting leading to a vacuum port directly above the electric choke. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Good luck
Thanks, I spent hours searching Holley or Ford two barrel carb for a 1960 F100 rebuilt. ( disassembled the Carb months ago) I ignored your video because of Marine Volvo. Except for the electric choke and plastic marine doohickey Carb was identical. Big thank you!! I’m going to surprise my girlfriend and her sisters by getting their deceased fathers old Pick up running. Ordering new tires tomorrow
When I saw the opening on the intake I thought the same thing, but that is the orginal carb and there is no other version of the Volvo penta intake. I get what you mean though
Content is good even though you skip parts like removing the old gaskets which would be helpful to 1st timers like me. But the video and audio leave much to be desired; portrait mode is a bad choice and the sound is so low I had to use head phone blasted to the highest volume to hear what he's saying.
@@ShadetreeMechanic It still guided me through my very first carb rebuild (on a 21 year old carb that has never been touched). It's back on the the Penta, tuned and running well. Saved me a couple hundy and I do appreciate that.
Looks like you know what your doing. Wish I could watch..... Turn camera to lateral so we can see wider view and for God sake speak up.... You mumbled through the whole thing.
Can you tell me the name and part number of the rebuild kit you purchased? I have the exact carb and am struggling to find the proper kit, thanks. Great video by the way, very helpful

Love to hear that it helped you. Sorry for talking so softly!

Really glad I could help. Hope you had a great 4th
This awesome. I just removed the same carb last night. Will be watching this several times soon.
You could have left the first comment. I'm talking like I'm in church. Glad you found it helpful.

I believe it's a relief "valve" of some kind. Good luck finding it.
@@ShadetreeMechanic Thanks!
When the float bowl is normal way up(accelerator pump at the bottom), where should the float sit? Thanks, very helpful video..
I'm not 100% certain what you mean, but the float should be resting on an angle with no fuel. Once the fuel fills up it floats and prevents excess fuel into the carb. Give me some more info and I'll try and help.

Good just to check for corrosion.

Also wondering if the extra travel from the 50cc will tear the 30cc diaphragm apart after awhile or does it all adjust out in the adjustment?
Interesting, I haven't noticed anything different. I'll have to pull it apart to take a look at it.
That's exactly what I noticed too! That kit has the 30cc pump and your old carb has a 50cc pump
i have the 5.0 boat starts no problem when i pour fuel into carb i have fuel up to carb. Is it possible to just pull the cover with 4 screws and clean the jet.
trying to winterize. may do a rebuild in spring never had a issue before not sure i need to rebuild
Sounds to me like your float might be stuck or the jets are clogged. Good luck
Thank you for your a video
Happy to help.
Thanks for the tutorial, where did you buy the repair kit ?
Amazon. Just make sure you use the correct accelerator pump
@@ShadetreeMechanic could you provide the Amazon part? Would I use the numbers stamped on the side of the carburetor to search Amazon?

The gasket in the bowl on mine needs replaced. Is there anyway to access without taking the whole bowl apart?
I don't think so. Also, if your taking it apart, might as well do the rebuild.
Where dose that red hose connect to on ur engine?
Thank you so much! Just did this to friends old boat. Did you adjust idler needles after?
Glad to help. I didn't need to touch the idler needles at all. I did adjust the bolt/nut that touches the accelerator pump.
@@ShadetreeMechanic Thanks for the reply. For the idler needles, i just screwed them all the way in and backed them out 1.5 turns as a starting place.

Where can I buy the rebuild kit that you purchased, I have the same carburetor?
Hey Don. I'd suggest searching with the numbers stamped on the carburetor. That's how I found the kit I used on Amazon.
There is a link in the description of the video with the rebuild kit
Do you have the rebuild kit #?
I found it on Amazon. Not sure which one I bought
Can you tell me what hooks to the brass fitting (vacuum????) on the electric choke portion. I bought a used boat and nothing was hooked to it but it is pulling vacuum when running?
So forgive me, but I have no idea what the purpose of that brass fitting does.

Good video but I think you have the wrong size accelerator pump
Really? How can you tell?

What about the fuel inlet screen to the carb, I have a feeling mine is in bad shape but can’t find the name or details to replace.
A new one is in the rebuild kit.
What vintage said below. It's right inside the fitting where the fuel line hooks up
Thank you both!!
Can you put the kit replacement info in the comments?

You have a 2 bbl carb on a 4 bbl manifold!!
When I saw the opening on the intake I thought the same thing, but that is the orginal carb and there is no other version of the Volvo penta intake. I get what you mean though
They are all set up that way. Gives it better low-end torque.
Content is good even though you skip parts like removing the old gaskets which would be helpful to 1st timers like me. But the video and audio leave much to be desired; portrait mode is a bad choice and the sound is so low I had to use head phone blasted to the highest volume to hear what he's saying.
Next time it needs a rebuild, I'll definitely have better video quality and audio. Sorry for the frustration!
@@ShadetreeMechanic It still guided me through my very first carb rebuild (on a 21 year old carb that has never been touched). It's back on the the Penta, tuned and running well. Saved me a couple hundy and I do appreciate that.
Why does it lol so much like a 350 intake
Probably identical.
Could have been a great video if i could understand what you are saying.
Looks like you know what your doing. Wish I could watch..... Turn camera to lateral so we can see wider view and for God sake speak up.... You mumbled through the whole thing.
My wife hates my mumbling. If you're doing this rebuild, make sure you check the breathers too. It was something I forgot to show
Damn dude speak up
My bad. I sound like a librarian.
@@ShadetreeMechanic great video just can’t here u
Can you tell me the name and part number of the rebuild kit you purchased? I have the exact carb and am struggling to find the proper kit, thanks. Great video by the way, very helpful
