Safety Precautions

Engine with turbocharger: Never start the enginewithout installing the air cleaner (ACL). The rotatingcompressor in the Turbo can cause serious personalinjury. Foreign objects entering the intake ducts canalso cause mechanical damage.

Never use start spray or similar to start the engine.The starter element may cause an explosion in theinlet manifold. Danger of personal injury.

Avoid opening the filler cap for engine coolant system(freshwater cooled engines) when the engine is stillhot. Steam or hot coolant can spray out. Open thecoolant filler cap carefully and slowly to release pres-sure before removing the cap completely. Take greatcare if a cock, plug or engine coolant line must be re-moved from a hot engine. It is difficult to anticipate inwhich direction steam or hot coolant can spray out.

Hot oil can cause burns. Avoid skin contact with hotoil. Ensure that the lubrication system is not underpressure before commencing work on it. Never startor operate the engine with the oil filler cap removed,otherwise oil could be ejected.

Stop the engine and close the sea cock before carry-ing out operations on the engine cooling system.

Only start the engine in a well-ventilated area. If oper-ating the engine in an enclosed space, ensure thatexhaust gases and crankcase ventilation emissionsare ventilated out of the working area.

IntroductionThis Workshop Manual contains technical data,descriptions and repair instructions for Volvo Pentaproducts or product versions contained in the con-tents list. Ensure that the correct workshop literatureis being used.

Read the safety information and the WorkshopManual “General Information” and “Repair Instruc-tions” carefully before starting work.

ImportantIn this book and on the engine you will find the follow-ing special warning symbols.

WARNING! If these instructions are not fol-lowed there is a danger of personal injury,extensive damage to the product or seriousmechanical malfunction.

IMPORTANT! Used to draw your attention tosomething that can cause damage, productmalfunction or damage to property.

NOTE! Used to draw your attention to important in-formation that will facilitate work or operations.

Below is a summary of the risks and safety precau-tions you should always observe or carry out whenoperating or servicing the engine.

Immobilize the engine by turning off the power supplyto the engine at the main switch (switches) and lock it(them) in the OFF position before starting work. Set upa warning notice at the engine control point or helm.

Generally, all servicing should be carried out with theengine switched off. Some work (carrying out certainadjustments for example) requires the engine to berunning. Approaching a running engine is dangerous.Loose clothing or long hair can fasten in rotating partsand cause serious personal injury.If working in proximity to a running engine, carelessmovements or a dropped tool can result in personalinjury. Avoid burns. Take precautions to avoid hot sur-faces (exhausts, turbochargers, charge air pipes andstarter elements etc.) and liquids in supply lines andhoses when the engine is running or has been turnedoff immediately prior to starting work on it. Reinstall allprotective parts removed during service operationsbefore starting the engine.

Check that the warning or information decals on theproduct are always clearly visible. Replace decalsthat have been damaged or painted over.

Always use protective goggles where there is adanger of pieces of metal, sparks from grinding,acid or other chemicals being thrown into youreyes. Your eyes are very sensitive, injury can leadto loss of sight!

Avoid skin contact with oil. Long-term or repeatedcontact with oil can remove the natural oils fromyour skin. The result can be irritation, dry skin, ecze-ma and other skin problems. Used oil is more dan-gerous to health than new oil. Use protective glovesand avoid using oil-soaked clothes and rags. Washregularly, especially before meals. Use the correctbarrier cream to prevent dry skin and to makecleaning your skin easier.

Most chemicals used in products (engine and trans-mission oils, glycol, petrol and diesel oil) and work-shop chemicals (solvents and paints) are hazard-ous to health Read the instructions on the productpackaging carefully! Always follow safety instruc-tions (using breathing apparatus, protective gog-gles and gloves for example). Ensure that other per-sonnel are not unwittingly exposed to hazardoussubstances (by breathing them in for example). En-sure that ventilation is good. Handle used andexcess chemicals according to instructions.

Be extremely careful when tracing leaks in the fuelsystem and testing fuel injection nozzles. Use pro-tective goggles! The jet ejected from a fuel injectionnozzle is under very high pressure, it can penetratebody tissue and cause serious injury There is adanger of blood poisoning.

All fuels and many chemicals are inflammable. En-sure that a naked flame or sparks cannot ignite fuelor chemicals. Combined with air in certain ratios,petrol, some solvents and hydrogen from batteriesare easily inflammable and explosive. Smoking isprohibited! Ensure that ventilation is good and thatthe necessary safety precautions have been takenbefore carrying out welding or grinding work. Al-ways have a fire extinguisher to hand in the work-place.

Store oil and fuel-soaked rags and fuel and oil fil-ters safely. In certain conditions oil-soaked rags canspontaneously ignite. Used fuel and oil filters areenvironmentally dangerous waste and must be de-posited at an approved site for destruction togetherwith used lubricating oil, contaminated fuel, paintremnants, solvent, degreasing agents and wastefrom washing parts.

Never allow a naked flame or electric sparks nearthe batteries. Never smoke in proximity to the batter-ies. The batteries give off hydrogen gas duringcharging which when mixed with air can form an ex-plosive gas – oxyhydrogen. This gas is easily ignit-ed and highly volatile. Incorrect connection of thebattery can cause a spark which is sufficient tocause an explosion with resulting damage. Do notdisturb battery connections when starting the en-gine (spark risk) and do not lean over batteries.

Never mix up the positive and negative battery ter-minals when installing. Incorrect installation can re-sult in serious damage to electrical equipment. Re-fer to wiring diagrams.

Always use protective goggles when charging andhandling batteries. The battery electrolyte containsextremely corrosive sulfuric acid. If this comes intocontact with the skin, wash immediately with soapand plenty of water. If battery acid comes into con-tact with the eyes, immediately flush with copiousamounts of water and obtain medical assistance.

Turn off the engine and turn off power at mainswitch(es) before carrying out work on the electricalsystem.

Clutch adjustments must be carried out with the en-gine turned off.

Use the lifting eyes mounted on the engine/reversegear when lifting the drive unit.Always check that lifting equipment is in good con-dition and has sufficient load capacity to lift the en-gine (engine weight including reverse gear and anyextra equipment installed).

To ensure safe handling and to avoid damaging en-gine components on top of the engine, use a liftingbeam to raise the engine. All chains and cablesshould run parallel to each other and as perpendic-ular as possible in relation to the top of the engine.

If extra equipment is installed on the engine alteringits center of gravity, a special lifting device is re-quired to achieve the correct balance for safe han-dling.

Never carry out work on an engine suspended on ahoist.

Never remove heavy components alone, evenwhere secure lifting equipment such as securedblocks are being used. Even where lifting equip-ment is being used it is best to carry out the workwith two people; one to operate the lifting equip-ment and the other to ensure that components arenot trapped and damaged when being lifted.When working on-board ensure that there is suffi-cient space to remove components without dangerof injury or damage.

Components in the electrical system, ignition sys-tem (gasoline engines) and fuel system on VolvoPenta products are designed and constructed tominimize the risk of fire and explosion. The enginemust not be run in areas where there are explosivematerials.

Always use fuels recommended by Volvo Penta.Refer to the Instruction Book. The use of lower qual-ity fuels can damage the engine. On a diesel en-gine poor quality fuel can cause the control rod toseize and the engine to overrev with the resultingrisk of damage to the engine and personal injury.Poor fuel quality can also lead to higher mainte-nance costs.

Observe the following rules when cleaning withhigh-pressure water jets. Never direct the water jetat seals, rubber hoses or electrical components.Never use a high pressure jet when washing theengine.

General information

About the workshop manualThis workshop manual contains technical specifica-tion, descriptions and instructions for the standardversions of AQ205A, 430A, 430B, 431A, 431B, 432Aand 434A. The product designation and number shouldbe given in all correspondence about the product.

This Workshop Manual shows the work procedures fora 431A. Please note that the illustrations used do notalways fully correspond with other engines. The repairmethods are identical on other versions unless other-wise stated. Important differences are described sepa-rately.

NOTE! The engine 431A was introducted and for oneyear sold under the designation AQ205 A. As AQ205Aand 431A are identical products, the later designationbeen used in this workshop manual.

This Workshop Manual has been developed primarilyfor Volvo Penta service workshops and qualifiedpersonnel. Persons using this book are assumed tohave a grounding in marine drive systems and beable to carry out related mechanical and electricalwork.

Volvo Penta is continuously developing their prod-ucts. We therefore reserve the right to makechanges. All the information contained in this book isbased on product data available at the time of goingto print. Any essential changes or modificationsintroduced into production or updated or revisedservice methods introduced after the date of publica-tion will be provided in the form of Service Bulletins.

Replacement partsReplacement parts for electrical and fuel systems aresubject to statutory requirements (US Coast GuardSafety Regulations for example). Volvo Penta Genuineparts meet these requirements. Any type of damagewhich results from the use of non-original Volvo Pentareplacement parts for the product will not be coveredunder any warranty provided by Volvo Penta.

Repair instructions

The working methods described in the Service Manualapply to work carried out in a workshop. The enginehas been removed from the boat and is installed in anengine fixture. Unless otherwise stated reconditioningwork which can be carried out with the engine in placefollows the same working method.

Warning symbols occurring in the Workshop Manual(for their meaning see Safety information)

WARNING!

IMPORTANT!

NOTE!

are not in any way comprehensive since it is imposs-ible to predict every circumstance under which servicework or repairs may be carried out. For this reason wecan only highlight the risks that can arise when workis carried out incorrectly in a well-equipped workshopusing working methods and tools developed by us.

All procedures for which there are Volvo Penta specialtools in this Workshop Manual are carried out usingthese. Special tools are developed to rationalizeworking methods and make procedures as safe aspossible. It is therefore the responsibility of anyperson using tools or working methods other than theones recommended by us to ensure that there is nodanger of injury, damage or malfunction resulting fromthese.

In some cases there may be special safety precau-tions and instructions for the use of tools and chem-icals contained in this Workshop Manual. Thesespecial instructions should always be followed ifthere are no separate instructions in the WorkshopManual.

Certain elementary precautions and common sensecan prevent most risks arising. A clean workplaceand engine eliminates much of the danger of injuryand malfunction.

It is of the greatest importance that no dirt or foreignparticles get into the fuel system, lubrication sys-tem, intake system, turbocharger, bearings andseals when they are being worked on. The result canbe malfunction or a shorter operational life.

Our joint responsibilityEach engine consists of many connected systems andcomponents. If a component deviates from its technicalspecification the environmental impact of an otherwisegood engine may be increased significantly. It is there-fore vital that wear tolerances are maintained, thatsystems that can be adjusted are adjusted properly andthat Volvo Penta Genuine Parts as used. The engineMaintenance Schedule must be followed.

Some systems, such as the components in the fuelsystem, require special expertise and special testingequipment for service and maintenance. Some com-ponents are sealed at the factory for environmentalreasons. No work should be carried out on sealedcomponents except by authorized personnel.

Bear in mind that most chemicals used on boats areharmful to the environment if used incorrectly. VolvoPenta recommends the use of biodegradabledegreasing agents for cleaning engine components,unless otherwise stated in a workshop manual. Takespecial care when working on-board, that oil andwaste is taken for destruction and is not accidentallypumped into the environment with bilge water.

Tightening torquesTightening torques for vital joints that must be tight-ened with a torque wrench are listed in workshopmanual “Technical Data”: “Tightening Torques” and arecontained in work descriptions in this Manual. Alltorques apply for cleaned threads, screw heads andmating surfaces. Torques apply for lightly oiled or drythreads. If lubricants, locking fluid or sealing com-pound are required for a screwed joint this informationwill be contained in the work description and in “Tight-ening Torques” Where no tightening torque is stated fora joint use the general tightening torques according tothe tables below. The tightening torques stated are aguide and the joint does not have to be tightened usinga torque wrench.

Tightening torques-protractor(angle) tightening

Tightening using both a torque settingand a protractor angle requires thatfirst the recommended torque isapplied using a torque wrench andthen the recommended angle is addedaccording to the protractor scale.Example: a 90° protractor tighteningmeans that the joint is tightened afurther 1/4 turn in one operation afterthe stated tightening torque has beenapplied.

LocknutsDo not re-use lock nuts that have been removedduring dismantling as they have reduced service lifewhen re-used – use new nuts when assembling orreinstalling. For lock nuts with a plastic insert suchas Nylock® the tightening torque stated in the tableis reduced if the Nylock® nut has the same headheight as a standard hexagonal nut without plasticinsert. Reduce the tightening torque by 25% for boltsize 8 mm or larger. Where Nylock® nuts are higher,or of the same height as a standard hexagonal nut,the tightening torques given in the table apply.

Tolerance classesScrews and nuts are divided into different strengthclasses, the class is indicated by the number on thebolt head. A high number indicates stronger material,for example a bolt marked 10-9 indicates a highertolerance than one marked 8-8. It is therefore import-ant that bolts removed during the disassembly of abolted joint must be reinstalled in their originalposition when assembling the joint. If a bolt must bereplaced check in the replacement parts catalogueto make sure the correct bolt is used.

SealantsA number of sealants and locking liquids are used onthe engines. The agents have varying properties andare used for different types of jointing strengths,operating temperature ranges, resistance to oil andother chemicals and for the different materials and gapsizes in the engines.

To ensure service work is correctly carried out it isimportant that the correct sealant and locking fluidtype is used on the joint where the agents are re-quired.

In this Volvo Penta Service Manual the user will findthat each section where these agents are applied inproduction states which type was used on the engine.

During service operations use the same agent or analternative from a different manufacturer.

Make sure that mating surfaces are dry and free fromoil, grease, paint and anti-corrosion agent beforeapplying sealant or locking fluid. Always follow themanufacturer’s instructions for use regarding; tempera-ture range, curing time and any other instructions for theproduct.

Two different basic types of agent are used on theengine and these are:

RTV agent (Room temperature vulcanizing). Use forgaskets, sealing gasket joints or coating gaskets. RTVagent is clearly visible when a component has beendismantled; old RTV must be removed before the jointis resealed.

The following RTV agents are mentioned in the Ser-vice Manual: Loctite® 574, Volvo Penta 840879-1,Permatex® No. 3, Volvo Penta P/N 1161099-5,Permatex® No. 77. Old sealant can be removed usingmethylated spirits in all cases.

Anaerobic agents. These agents cure in an absence ofair. They are used when two solid parts, for examplecast components, are installed face-to-face without agasket. They are also commonly used to secureplugs, threads in stud bolts, cocks, oil pressureswitches and so on. The cured material is glass-likeand it is therefore colored to make it visible. Curedanaerobic agents are extremely resistant to solventsand the old agent cannot be removed. When reinstall-ing the part is carefully degreased and then newsealant is applied.

The following anaerobic agents are mentioned in theService Manual: Loctite® 572 (white), Loctite® 241(blue).

NOTE! Loctite® is the registered trademark of Loctite Corpora-tion, Permatex® is the registered trademark of the PermatexCorporation.

Presentation

The serial number plate is located at the rear of the engineblock on the port side (as seen from the rear). Engines manu-factured before March 1988 have the plate located on the star-board side.

The engine is a 6-cylinder, sea water cooled gasoline engine.The thermostatically controlled cooling system is supplied withsea water from a crankshaft drive impeller pump. A separatecirculation pump forces cooling water through the engine blockto maintain an even operating temperature. The cooling wateralso circulates through the exhaust system to keep it cool. The430A, 431 A (late models) and the 430B, 431B, 432A, 434Ahave a modified cooling system with a different cooling waterflow through the thermostat housing and the exhaust risers.

The 430, 431, 432 and 434 have a displacement of 4293 cm3

(262 cu.in.).

The 400-engines use a breakerless electronic ignition system.

Fault-tracing and repair procedures, fuelsystemThe fault-tracing procedure only covers problems in thecarburetor and fuel system.

The symptoms described can also be caused by malfunc-tion of the ignition or electrical system, a dirty hull, dam-aged propeller or drive, incorrect trim angle or a worn en-gine. Check these possible causes of the fault before anywork is started on the carburetor.

IMPORTANT! Remember the danger of fire. Al-ways have a fire extinguisher nearby! Switch offthe ignition when working with the fuel system. Allchecks and repairs must be done with the enginestopped! Run the engine room blower for 2 to 3minutes before starting work.

IMPORTANT! Be aware of the fire hazard. Always havea fire extinguisher near at hand.

Corrective Action1. Replace or clean the fuel filters. The engine has 2

fuel filters: one large main filter fitted at the fuel pumpand a filter fitted in the carburetor at the fuel inlet. Themain filter must be replaced, the carburetor inlet filtereither cleaned or replaced. Note! Certain installationscan have additional filters or water separators, for ex-ample before the fuel cock. Ensure that all filters areclean.

2. Check by removing the flame arrester and lookingdown into the carburetor with the engine stopped. Ifthe engine is flooding, there will be fuel flowing in theventuri. To stop the flooding, check the needle andseat, and the float. Replace the needle and seat ifthere is leakage. Check that the float can move freely.If the carburetor is flooding due to contamination, thenthe complete carburetor must be removed andcleaned.

3. Check the needle and seat function and float level.Adjust the float level as specified under “Overhaulingthe Carburetor”.

4. General: Clean the choke mechanism and check thatlinkage and choke valve is not sticking or seized.When replacing parts or disassembling, adjustment ofthe choke and the vacuum break (excl. Holley 2010)must be completed.

The engine starts but stops again: Check the chokewarm-up function and that the electrical connectionsare undamaged. Correct any sticking, check setting.

Holley 2010, 4160: Check the vacuum piston. Correctany sticking. Check that there is no air leakage at thecork gasket.

The engine is difficult to start: The choke valve isnot closing, check setting.

5. Check operation and make sure it is not sticking. Ad-just as per specification in “Overhauling the Carbure-tor”. (Excl. Holley 2010.)

6. Check the gaskets and the mounting hardware. The car-buretor should be tightened to a torque of 13 Nm (1.3kpm/9 lbf.ft). Do not over tighten.

Holley 4160: Check that the vacuum housing diaphragmor the cork gasket at the sealing face is not leaking. If leak-ing the secondary plates will not open fully.

7. Remove the flame arrestor and the cover. Check the func-tion and setting of the accelerator pump, and the ballvalve.

Check that there is no contamination in the acceleratorpump fuel passages. Clean and blow through with com-pressed air.

8. Check the function and adjust the mechanism as perspecification under “Overhauling the Carburetor”.

9. Adjust the idle to the correct speed as per Technical Data.

2. The first stage (primary side) consists of two 1 3/8(35 mm) barrels where the fuel is metered through acombination of fixed main jets and tapered fuel nee-dles (32). The up and down movement of the fuelneedles (31) in the main jets is controlled by a springloaded power piston (33). The power piston is regu-lated by manifold vacuum.

The primary side is also equipped with an acceleratorpump consisting of a spring loaded piston (18) thatmoves in a fuel filled well. Movement of the piston iscontrolled by a lever (14) that is connected by linkage(69) to the throttle mechanism. When the throttle isopened it pushes the piston down into the well forcingfuel through the accelerator pump check valve (36) toa passage and into the primary venturi.

The accelerator pump piston contains a check valveon the piston plunger itself. When the piston movesdownward into the fuel well the valve is closed. Whenthe piston moves upwards, the valve opens allowingthe fuel well to fill and any gas to escape. The accel-erator pump check valve closes when the pump pis-ton moves upward preventing air from being suckedinto the pump well.

3. The second stage (secondary side) consists of two 21/4" (57 mm) venturis controlled by a mechanical setof throttle plates as well as a vacuum operated airvalve. When the primary side throttle is completelyopened, linkage (66) opens the mechanically operat-ed secondary throttle plates located at the bottom ofthe carburetor bore (16). This exposes the vacuumoperated secondary air valve, mounted at the top ofthe carburetor bore (16), to manifold vacuum. As theair valve opens an eccentric cam mounted on the airvalve shaft lifts the hanger (11) and in turn the sec-ondary needles (17). The tapered needles lift out of afixed orifice which meters the fuel proportionate to theair flow through the venturi. The higher the needle islifted the more fuel is delivered to the secondary ven-turi.

4. The fuel bowl is centrally located between the two pri-mary venturis, which makes for a short fuel transferdistances to both the primary and secondary fuel cir-cuits. The float (21) is made of a closed cell plasticmaterial hung on a lever, which pivots on a shaft (22).The other end of the lever operates the float needlewhich works in a brass seat (34).

The incoming fuel must first pass through a springloaded filter (55). Should the filter become blocked sothat fuel cannot flow through, the fuel pump pressurewill overpower the spring pressure (54) and bypassthe clogged filter element.

5. Idle System. The primary side of the carburetor incor-porates an idle system to supply the correct air/fuelmixture during idle and off-idle operation. The idle cir-cuit is necessary since airflow through the venturi atthese slow engine speeds is insufficient to obtain effi-cient metering through the main metering system.Fuel flows from the main jets to the main well. It thenpasses through the idle passage where it is picked upby the idle tube. At the top of the idle tube it mixeswith air from the idle air bleeds and flows down an-other passage, through an idle channel restriction,and exits through the idle discharge hole below theslightly opened throttle plate. The idle discharge holehas an adjustment screw (53) to provide the correctmixture setting. Turning the screw in (clockwise)leans the mixture out and turning it out(counter-clockwise) richens the mixture up.

6. Vacuum break. The secondary air valve is controlledby a vacuum break (59). It consists of a spring loadeddiaphragm which is connected to the air valve by apiece of linkage (58). When manifold vacuum ex-ceeds 127-152 mm Hg (5-6" Hg) the diaphragm fullyretracts by overcoming the spring tension. In this posi-tion the linkage (58) is in the rearmost of the slot ofthe air valve lever and the air valve is consequentlyclosed.

Page 34: Volvo AQ205_430-430

32

During acceleration or when the engine under loadmanifold vacuum drops and the diaphragm springovercomes the effect of the vacuum on the dia-phragm and presses it outward. The linkage (58) ex-tends and moves forward in the lever groove and al-lows the air valve to open.

The vacuum connection to the diaphragm has a re-striction to provide gradual opening of the air valve.This is done so that the heavier fuel gets a chance tostart to flow to the secondary discharge nozzles toprevent a lean mixture.

7. The carburetor has an electric choke . There is a bi-metallic spring which keeps the choke valve in theclosed position when the engine is cold. Upon start-ing the bimetallic spring is electrically heated and thespring begins to unwind. As it unwinds it begins toopen the choke valve by means of the choke arm(43) and linkage (1). When the choke shaft (49) turnsas the choke opens it releases the lock for the sec-ondary air valve and allows the secondaries to oper-ate if required.

As the spring pressure holding the choke closed de-creases the vacuum underneath will gradually takeover so that the valve will continually open until thespring is completely unwound. The electric heating ofthe choke is done in two stages with a built-in thermo-stat monitoring the temperature of the choke housing.If it is sufficiently hot, due to the rising heat from theengine, the spring will be heated rapidly. In this con-dition the bimetallic spring is already partially un-wound due to the engine heat, the choke valve willopen much faster. Therefore little or no choke is usedwhen starting a warm engine.

32.Description of functionsThe carburetor has two ports and two different measuringsystems for fuel and air. The carburetor receives fuel viathe main jets when the engine is idling or running at par-tial load. These main jets are of different sizes (190 onthe choke side, 145 on the lever side) in order to ensurethat fuel is distributed as evenly as possible in the en-gine. Fuel flows into the main fuel channels, one for eachport. The carburetor contains fuel tubes for idling andpartial-load systems and emulsion tubes for the main me-tering system and full-load system.

Page 40: Volvo AQ205_430-430

38

33. Idling system

This provides the engine with fuel when the throttle iswholly or partially closed. It operates with the aid of nega-tive pressure from the induction manifold.

35. Full-load system

The full-load system is a part of the main metering systemand complements the same when the engine is run athigh speeds or at large loads. In these cases, the nega-tive pressure in the induction manifold is at its lowest(close to atmospheric pressure) due to the large flow ofair when the throttle is open fully.

Extra fuel is supplied to the excess of air, as at full load itis desirable to attain as much power as possible. Thenegative pressure controls a spring-loaded vacuum pis-ton (11) which opens an extra passage for fuel in additionto the main jet. This full-load valve is known as a “powervalve”, is fitted with a return spring, and opens when thevacuum piston reaches the power valve’s plunger. Whenthe vacuum in the engine increases, the vacuum pistonwill travel upwards again. The power valve is then closedby its return spring.

36. Acceleration pump

This is a type of piston fitted with a return spring. This pis-ton is actuated mechanically from the damper. During ac-celeration, the piston is pushed down into its cylinder andforces fuel from the pump barrel.

When the throttle is closed, the negative pressure at theopening (1) below the throttle is high. Atmospheric pres-sure prevails at the opening (2). This great difference inpressure forces air to rush into the mixing channel andtake fuel with it.

More air enters via a second choke tube (3). Fuel and airare mixed in the mixing channel (4) which leads out tothe low speed jet (5). The amount of fuel and air is regu-lated using the mixture screw (6).

The idling system has an extra opening (4) which beginsto operate when the throttle begins to open and the nega-tive pressure reaches the opening. This provides asmooth transition from idling speed to partial load.

34. Main metering system

The system consists of emulsion tubes (7) which are re-cessed in the main fuel channels. The full-load systemgradually begins to operate when the throttle begins toopen and air flows down through the venturi tubes(ports). According to the venturi principle, the pressurethen drops and the flow rate increases when the air pass-es the venturi tube’s tapered end.

This is utilized in the carburetor by placing the fuel emul-sion tube’s opening inside the venturi tube. This openinghas been designed as a venturi cluster in order to in-crease the negative pressure still further.

The main fuel channel (8) receives air via the hole (10).The fuel/air mixture will then be transported as a result ofthe difference in pressure between the venturi cluster andthe fuel channel. The fuel and air are mixed in the emul-sion tube (7) when air flows into the tube’s side holes.

The pressure of the fuel then opens the seat valve (12),upon which fuel arrives at two jets which direct the fueltowards the venturi clusters of the two ports. When thepiston has stopped traveling downwards, the pressure inthe fuel channel drops and the seat valve closes, whichprevents air from entering the pump housing and pre-vents the channel from being sucked dry by the air flow-ing through the venturi tubes.

The pump piston is forced upwards by the return spring,and the cylinder can again be filled with fuel from the floatchamber via the aperture (13).

37. Choke

This is electrical. On the choke cover is a bimetallicspring which holds the choke throttle closed with itsspring action. When the engine is started from cold, thebimetallic spring is heated electrically. When the enginehas cooled, the spring contracts and closes the throttle.

Overhauling and checking38. Removing the carburetor

Remove the carburetor’s flame arrestor, spanner size 11mm. Remove the throttle cable from the control mecha-nism. Unscrew the feed pipe, spanner size 17 mm. Re-move the carburetor, spanner size 1/2".IMPORTANT! Do not forget to remove the choke’s electri-cal connection.

39. Removing the carburetor cover

N.B.! If the outside of the carburetor is dirty, clean it beforedismantling it. Clean this carefully using a brush and car-buretor cleaner, paint thinner or denatured alcohol suchas methylated spirit.

WARNING! Work in a well ventilated area. Thereshould be no naked flames in the working area.

IMPORTANT! Do not use more cleaner than is ab-solutely necessary, and use it for as little time aspossible. The carburetor must not be dipped in thecleaning fluid in order to loosen contaminants. Thefluid may damage plastic and rubber parts.

Replace all the carburetor’s gaskets and O-ringswhen overhauling it. The gasket surfaces shouldbe cleaned using a mild solvent such as paraffin.All channels, jets and passages should be blownclean carefully using compressed air.

Hold the carburetor horizontal with the flame arrestor fit-ted. If you are using compressed air to dry the carburetorand blow it clean, a plastic bag should be slipped overthe flame arrestor to protect it. Blow the carburetor cleanfrom the top downwards. Do not direct the flow of air inunder the carburetor. Remove the flame arrestor and drythe upper and lower sides of the carburetor with a clean,lint-free rag.

40. Remove and clean the fuel filter. If the filter is ex-tremely blocked, unfiltered fuel may reach the carbu-retor if the fuel pressure exceeds the spring pressurein the filter. If this is the case, the entire carburetorshould be cleaned carefully.

41. Remove the pin for the acceleration pump linkage.

42. Remove the idle cam.

44. Checking and adjusting the float level, upper posi-tion

Measure from the lower dot on the float to the carburetorgasket, which should be in position. Use a T-gauge, partno. 884616-4 (1). The float level should be at 10 mm(0.39"). When adjusting this level, bend the ball-float le-ver (2) in the direction of the arrow. After adjusting thelevel, check that the float (3) is straight.

45. Checking and adjusting the float level, lower posi-tion

Turn the carburetor over and let the float (1) hang freely.Measure from the gasket to the joint on the tip of the float.The level (2) should be 35.6 mm (1.42"). When adjustingthe level, bend the tang (3) in the direction of the arrow.Check that the float needle (4) does not stick at maximumdeflection.

46. Replacing the float needle

Remove the float by pressing out the float pin (1). Thefloat needle can now be unhooked from the ball-float le-ver.

NOTE! The float needle comprises three separate parts.

Unscrew the jet using a screwdriver with a 10 mm (0.39")head. Screw on the new jet and fit a new gasket. Do notforget to fit the baffle (2) around the float needle.

Page 46: Volvo AQ205_430-430

44

The carburetor body (1) is cast in a single piece and hastwin ports (venturi tubes). The float and choke throttle aremounted on the carburetor cover (2).

The float chamber has main jets and a vacuum-controlledfull-load valve (power valve) located in the bottom. Thefloat chamber also has an outlet directly to the accelera-tion pump. The float chamber is ventilated via a breatherpipe which opens out over the twin ports.

The float is made of plastic and is center-suspended. Thefloat’s lever actuates the seat valve, which can be re-placed. The inlet is fitted with a fuel filter made of brassmesh.

The two ports are fed with fuel by an idling system, amain metering system, a full-load system and an acceler-ation pump.

55. Idling system

This provides the engine with fuel when the throttle iswholly or partially closed. It operates with the aid of nega-tive pressure from the induction manifold.

When the throttle is closed, the negative pressure at theopening (1) below the throttle is high. Atmospheric pres-sure prevails at the opening (2). This great difference inpressure forces air to rush into the mixing channel andtake fuel with it at the connection with the fuel channel.This fuel has been mixed with air in the idle chamber,which is located on the top of the reinforcement piece.See positions 7 to 9 in the figure below. The opening hasidling jets (6) which regulate the flow of the fuel/air mix-ture.

The idling system has extra openings (4) which also be-gin to operate when the throttle begins to open and thenegative pressure reaches the opening. This provides asmooth transition from running on the idling system torunning on the main system. Fuel is fed into the idlingsystem’s fuel channel via the main jet (7). When the floatchamber is at atmospheric pressure, the difference inpressure helps the fuel to be sucked in at point (3).

The fuel channel has a restrictor (5) which controls theamount of fuel to the idling system.

Page 47: Volvo AQ205_430-430

45

56. Main metering system

This system works according to the venturi principle. Thismeans that air which flows via the tapered end of a tubehas the greatest flow rate, and the lowest pressure isfound in the narrowest part.

This is utilized in the carburetor by placing the fuel emul-sion tube’s opening into the venturi tube. This openinghas been designed as a venturi cluster (1) in order to in-crease the negative pressure still further. The emulsion isproduced by fuel at atmospheric pressure being fed fromthe float chamber to the mixing channel (3) via the mainjet (2).

The fuel/air mixture is formed by air flowing out from thetubes (4) of the venturi cluster. These tubes have holesbored into the sides and are recessed in the main fuelchannels. Air flows into the inlet opening (5) (where at-mospheric pressure prevails), down into the tubes andinto the holes in the sides of the tubes. The difference inpressure between the venturi cluster (1) where the fuel/air mixture comes out (negative pressure) and the point(5) and the float chamber (atmospheric pressure) therebyprovides the driving force for the transportation of the fuel.Extra air which helps to transport the fuel is taken in viaposition (6). The idling system’s vaporizing chamber islocated at position (7), which chamber receives fuel viathe tube (8) and air via the hole (9).

The amount of air which flows through the venturi tubedetermines how much fuel is forced out of the float cham-ber.

The air flow velocity in the venturi tube is at its greatest,the pressure in the venturi tube is at its lowest, and theamount of fuel being transported is at its greatest whenthe throttles are fully open. The main jets (which can bereplaced) limit the flow of fuel. These jets are marked witha flow capacity expressed in cm3/min.

57. Full-load system

The full-load system is a part of the main metering systemand complements the same when the engine is run athigh speeds or at large loads. In these cases, the nega-tive pressure in the induction manifold is at its lowest(close to atmospheric pressure) due to the large flow ofair when the throttle is open fully.

Extra fuel is supplied to the excess of air, as at full load itis desirable to attain as much power as possible. Thenegative pressure controls a spring-loaded vacuum valve(1) which opens an extra passage for fuel in addition tothe main jet. This “power valve” is numbered according tothe vacuum at which it opens. For example, a “65” openswhen the negative pressure drops to 6.5" of mercury.

When the throttles start to close and the negative pres-sure rises, the spring action is overcome and the extrafuel passage is closed. This allows the carburetor to pro-vide optimum efficiency so that fuel consumption is low atmid-range speeds, while still retaining the capacity forhigh power.

58. Acceleration pump

This pump is of the diaphragm type and is located at thebottom of the float chamber.

The acceleration pump has two functions:

1. To compensate for a shortage of fuel when the throttlesopen and air rushes in. This shortage of fuel is explainedby the fact that fuel is considerably “heavier,” that is tosay, it has a higher density than air. This leads to the fuelfeed becoming sluggish when rapid changes are madeto the throttle position, and a mixture of fuel and air whichis too lean results.

Page 48: Volvo AQ205_430-430

46

2. To enrich the fuel mixture in order to compensate forthe fuel which condenses on the surfaces of the inductionmanifold when the throttle is opened quickly at lowspeeds. A rapid drop in the negative pressure tends tocondense the fuel.

The pump is actuated mechanically by the damper. Thedamper is fitted with a plastic cam (1) which actuates thelever (2) of the acceleration pump via an intermediate le-ver. The design of the cam determines the capacity of thepump, and its profile determines how the fuel is distribut-ed when the throttle opens.

Fuel runs down into the pump from the float chamber viathe channel (3). When the pump lever pushes the pumpdiaphragm up (the diaphragm is fitted with a returnspring) the feed channel is closed by the pump pressurevia a plastic diaphragm (4). The fuel is then forced into achannel to a seat valve (5), which opens, and the fuel ar-rives at the jets (6). These jets force out a jet of fuel direct-ed towards the venturi cluster in the ports.

When the pressure in the fuel channel drops, the seatvalve (5) closes, which prevents air from getting into thepump housing and the channel being sucked dry by theflow of air in the venturi tube. The seat valve consists of aball, and a pin as a counterbalance. When the pressurein the pump housing drops, the fuel in the float chambercan open the non-return valve (diaphragm) by virtue of itsown weight, and then it can run down into the pumphousing. The return spring in the pump forces the pumpdiaphragm back simultaneously so that new pump ca-pacity is created.

59. Choke

This is electrical. On the choke cover is a bimetallicspring which holds the choke throttle closed with itsspring action. When the engine is started from cold, thebimetallic spring is heated electrically. When the enginehas started, the piston (which is controlled by negativepressure in the choke housing) drags the choke throttle toa set position, known as the “qualified position”. The bi-metallic spring causes the choke throttle to continueopening.

When the engine has stopped and cooled, the springcontracts and closes the throttle.

Remove the choke housing. Check that the choke’s vacu-um piston does not jam. Blow the vacuum duct clean us-ing compressed air. If necessary, remove the piston byunscrewing the choke spindle. Press in the stop rivet atthe piston rod and pull out the piston. If necessary, polishthe piston using an extremely fine emery cloth. Blow thevacuum duct clean using compressed air. Oil the shaftand the hub of the accelerating chamber lightly. Fit theparts. Do not forget to push the rivet back.

76. Replacing the float and seat valve

Press out the float pin and remove the float. To replacethe seat valve, unscrew the locking screws. The valvecan now be unscrewed using the adjusting nut.NOTE! Do not lose the nut which is loose on the valve.Lubricate the O-ring before fitting it, and place new gas-kets on the upper and lower sides of the adjusting nut.

Adjustment

77. Adjusting the float level

WARNING! Exercise extreme caution when adjust-ing the float level. There should be no smoking, na-ked flames or sparks in the working area. Bewareof moving parts of the engine such as belts andpulleys.

78. Unscrew the level plug with the engine idling and thegears in neutral. Undo the locking screw and turn theadjusting nut until the fuel level is level with the bot-tom of the level hole. Increase the speed of the en-gine a few times with the gears in neutral to check thesetting. Tighten the locking screw, holding it in posi-tion using a 16 mm (5/8") spanner. Replace the levelplug.

79. Setting the idling speed

The screws for controlling the idling mixture are locatedon either side of the carburetor body. If these screwshave been removed, the mixture must first be adjusted toa basic setting. With the engine switched off, screw in themixture control screws until they bottom. Do not screwthem in too hard, as this may damage their seats. Thenunscrew both screws a 3/4 turn (counterclockwise).

80. Run the engine up to operating temperature. Set theidling speed to 750 r/min using the idling mixturescrew. Use a workshop tachometer.

81. Connect a vacuum gauge to the outlet on the induc-tion manifold. Note the starting positions of the mix-ture control screws (screwdriver slot). Adjust bothscrews equally, 1/8 to 1/4 turn at a time until attainingthe highest possible value on the vacuum gauge. Re-set the idling speed to 750 r/min using the throttlestop screw. Then repeat the same procedure oncemore.

82. Setting the acceleration pump

Check that the plastic cam is in position 2. Set the adjust-ing screw on the pump lever so that it is in contact withthe pump rocker arm when the engine is idling.

83. Check the setting. The pump rocker arm will begin tomove as soon as the plastic cam moves if the settingis correct. At the same time, the setting should allowthe pump rocker arm to move slightly when the throt-tle is fully open. The clearance between the pumprocker arm and adjusting screw should be 0.40-0.50mm (0.016-0.020") when the throttles are fully open.

84. Check the operation of the throttle with the throttle ca-ble connected. Get someone to operate the throttlecontrols at the helm. The engine should be switchedoff. Remove the flame arrestor and observe the ventu-ri cluster. The slightest acceleration by the throttlecontrol handle should result in fuel being sprayed outfrom the jets towards the venturi. Adjust any clear-ance in the throttle control mechanism.

85. Adjusting the choke

The choke is adjusted in three stages: basic setting, set-ting the choke spring, and setting the choke balance.

A. Basic setting

86. Bend a wire with a maximum diameter of 0.70 mm(0.027"). The bent end should be no more than 3 mm(0.12") long.

1. Push the wire into the piston groove until it bottoms.Pull this wire out together with the piston until the wiregets caught.

2. Push the closed choke throttle gently with your finger.

3. The distance between the lower side of the chokethrottle and the wall of the carburetor body should bebetween 6.35 and 7.60 mm (0.25 and 0.30"). Meas-ure this using a drill shank.

4. When adjusting this setting, turn the adjusting screwinwards (clockwise) to reduce the gap and outwardsto increase it.

B. Setting the choke spring

87. Check that the ring of the bimetallic spring is posi-tioned around the choke arm in the choke housing (ifthe choke has been dismantled).

88. Turn the choke cover so that the adjustment mark isaligned with the correct adjustment mark on thechoke housing. This setting should be 7 marks fromthe left. Tighten the choke cover.

C. Setting the choke balance

1. The choke should be set correctly as specified in sec-tions A and B.

2. Throttles fully open.

3. Push the closed choke throttle gently.

4. Measure the distance between the lower side of thechoke throttle and the wall of the carburetor body.This gap should be at least 7.10 mm (0.28").

5. When adjusting the setting, bend the tang on the le-ver of the damper (below the choke housing).

The Holley 4160 is a four-port, dual-stage downdraft carbure-tor. The carburetor has two separate fuel systems, one for theprimary side and one for the secondary side.

Page 55: Volvo AQ205_430-430

53

The carburetor is structured in modules comprising floatchambers (1), metering plates (2), throttle housing (3)and the carburetor housing (4) with its four ports (venturi).The diameter of the primary port is 34.00 mm (1.34"), andthe diameter of the secondary port is 32.00 mm (1.26").

90. Float chambers

The float chambers accommodate floats which are sus-pended on one side. The lever of each float actuates aseat valve (1) which is located in a plastic baffle. Thisvalve can be replaced. The inlet is provided with a brassmesh fuel filter. The primary side float chamber is linkedexternally to the secondary side float chamber.

91. First stage (primary side)

The primary side has two ports which are fed with fuelfrom the idling system, main metering system, full-loadsystem and the acceleration pump.

92. Idling system

This provides the engine with fuel when the throttles arewholly or partially closed. Fuel enters from the float cham-ber via the main jet (1) and goes on to the main vaporiz-ing chamber. From here, the fuel flows via a restrictor (2)into the idling mixture chamber. The fuel is mixed with airfrom the jet (3) in this idling mixture chamber. The fuel/airmixture is sucked down via a channel, where it is distrib-uted. Some of the mixture goes to the opening (5), whilemost of it is fed to the idle port (6). Adjusting screws (7)control the amount of fuel/air mixture at the port (6). Thedisks open in order to provide a smooth transition fromthe idling system to the main metering system.

93. Main metering system

This system works according to the venturi principle. Thismeans that air which flows via the tapered end of a tubehas the greatest flow rate, and the lowest pressure isfound in the narrowest part. This is utilized in the carbure-tor by placing the fuel emulsion tube’s opening into theventuri tube.

Page 56: Volvo AQ205_430-430

54

This opening has been designed as a venturi cluster (1)in order to increase the negative pressure still further.Fuel flows from the float chamber to the mixing channel(3) via the main jet (2). The fuel is then sucked up via thechannel and is mixed with air from holes in the channel(4). These holes are linked to the constrictions (5) locatedin the carburetor’s air intake. The fuel/air mixture issucked up via the main mixing channel and is fed to theopening on the fuel emulsion tube in the venturi cluster(1).

94. Full-load system

The full-load system is a part of the main metering systemand complements the same when the engine is run athigh speeds or at large loads. In both cases, the throttlesare fully open and the negative pressure in the inductionmanifold is at its lowest. The engine works with an excessof air, and more fuel must be supplied so that it can out-put more power.

A spring-loaded full-load valve or “power valve” (1) regu-lated by the negative pressure in the induction manifoldopens and allows more fuel to flow to the opening of thefuel emulsion tube. The full-load valve is numbered andshows the negative pressure at which it opens. For exam-ple, a valve marked “25” opens when the pressure dropsto 2.5" of mercury.

When the pressure in the induction manifold exceeds theopening pressure, the full-load valve closes and the extrafuel flow is throttled. This optimizes the carburetor andensures that it uses a small amount of gasoline atmid-range speeds, while still retaining the capacity forhigh power output.

95. Acceleration pump

This pump is of the diaphragm type and is located at thebottom of the float chamber on the primary side.

The acceleration pump has two functions:

1. To compensate for a shortage of fuel when the throt-tles open and air rushes in. This shortage of fuel isexplained by the fact that fuel is considerably “heavi-er”, that is to say, it has a higher density than air. Thisleads to the fuel feed becoming sluggish when rapidchanges are made to the throttle position, and a mix-ture of fuel and air which is too lean results.

2. To enrich the fuel mixture in order to compensate forthe fuel which condenses on the surfaces of the in-duction manifold when the throttle is opened quicklyat low speeds. A rapid drop in the negative pressuretends to condense the fuel.

The pump is actuated mechanically by the damper. Thedamper is fitted with a plastic cam (1) which actuates thelever (2) of the acceleration pump via a lever. The designof the cam and its position on the damper (holes num-bered 1 and 2 respectively) determine the capacity of thepump, and the profile of the cam determines how the fuelis distributed when the throttle opens. The lever is provid-ed with an adjusting screw (3).

Page 57: Volvo AQ205_430-430

55

Fuel runs down into the pump from the float chamber viathe open valve (3). When the pump lever pushes thepump diaphragm up, which diaphragm is fitted with a re-turn spring, this closes and forces fuel into a channel tothe metering plate. The fuel is then fed on to the jet (4) viaa long, diagonal passage. This jet opens and allows thefuel to flow out into the opening on the carburetor’s ventu-ri. When the pressure in the fuel channel has dropped,the valve (5) closes and prevents air from forcing its wayinto the acceleration pump housing and the passagefrom being sucked dry by the negative pressure in theventuri tube.

When the throttles are closed, the pump rocker armmoves to its original position and the return spring push-es the diaphragm down. Fuel flows through the openvalve (3) and fills the pump again.

96. Second stage (secondary side)

The second stage has two ports (venturi) which are fittedwith vacuum-controlled throttles.

Fuel is fed to separate idling and main systems. The de-sign and function are similar to those on the primary side.The throttle is coupled to the vacuum break (1) via an arm(2). A spring (3) is located on the upper side of the dia-phragm which endeavors to hold the throttle closed. Achannel links the vacuum break with the ports of the pri-mary side.

When a sufficiently large amount of air is flowing throughthe primary ports, the negative pressure on the upperside of the diaphragm will overcome the spring actionand the secondary side’s throttle (4) will begin to open. Ifthe negative pressure in the ports on the primary side isreduced, the spring will push down the diaphragm andthereby close the secondary throttle.

There is also a linkage to the primary throttle whose taskis to close the secondary throttle. This linkage is fitted forsafety reasons, to prevent a broken diaphragm spring inthe vacuum housing from locking the secondary throttlein the open position.

97. Choke

The carburetor is fitted with an electric choke. The chokecover contains a bimetallic spring which closes the chokethrottle when the engine is cold. When the engine is start-ed from cold, the bimetallic spring is heated electrically.When the engine has started, the piston (which is regulat-ed by the negative pressure in the induction manifold)drags the choke throttle to a preset position, known as the“qualified position.” The bimetallic spring causes thechoke throttle to continue opening. When the engine isswitched off and cold, the spring contracts and closes thethrottle.

Adjusting the carburetor118. Adjusting the float level

WARNING! Exercise extreme caution when adjust-ing the float level. There should be no smoking,sparks or naked flames in the working area. Be-ware of moving parts of the engine.

The primary and secondary floats are both adjusted inthe same way. Drain the float chamber of gasoline andremove the float chamber. Turn the float chamberupside-down. Carefully bend the bent tang (1) which is incontact with the float valve. Adjust the tang so that thefloat is parallel to the float chamber when it closes thevalve (hold the float chamber upside-down). Clean awayany remaining pieces of gasket, fit a new gasket and re-place the float chamber.

119. Setting the acceleration pump

Check that the plastic cam is fitted and that its upper holeis in the position marked 1.

Set the adjusting screw on the pump lever so that it is incontact with the pump rocker arm when the engine isidling.

Page 62: Volvo AQ205_430-430

60

Check the setting. If the setting is correct, the pump rockerarm will begin to move as soon as the plastic cam moves.At the same time, the setting should allow the pump rock-er arm to move slightly when the throttle is fully open. Theclearance between the pump rocker arm and adjustingscrew should be 0.25-0.40 mm (0.010-0.016") when thethrottles are fully open.

Check the operation of the throttle with the throttle cableconnected. Get someone to operate the throttle controlsat the helm. The engine should be switched off. Removethe flame arrestor and observe the venturi cluster on theprimary side. The slightest acceleration by the throttlecontrol handle should result in fuel being sprayed outfrom the jets towards the venturi. Adjust any clearance inthe throttle control mechanism.

120. Adjusting the choke

The choke is adjusted in three stages: basic setting, set-ting the choke spring, and setting the choke balance.

A. Basic setting

Push the choke piston against the adjustable stop screw(1) using a steel wire or the like. Be careful not to damageany parts.

Push the choke housing arm closed so that there is noplay in the linkage to the throttle.

Check the choke opening. The distance between the low-er side of the choke throttle and the wall of the carburetorbody should be 6.50 mm (0.26"). Measure this using adrill shank. Adjust using the stop screw, inwards for asmaller opening and outwards for a larger opening.

IMPORTANT! Ensure that the stop screw is not screwedso far out that the piston can pass the screw and therebysustain damage.

B. Setting the choke cover

Check that the ring of the bimetallic spring is coupled tothe choke arm (if the choke has been dismantled).

Turn the choke cover so that the adjustment mark isaligned with the correct adjustment mark on the chokehousing. This setting should be 5 marks to the right of the0 mark (see figure).

If a richer or leaner mixture is required while the engine iswarming up, the choke cover can be turned one mark at atime. Turning the cover counterclockwise (left) makes themixture richer, while turning it clockwise (right) makes itleaner. Never adjust this by more than two marks from theposition specified – see above.

Page 63: Volvo AQ205_430-430

61

C. Setting the choke balance

The choke should be set correctly.

The primary throttle should be fully open.

Push the closed choke throttle gently. Measure the dis-tance between the lower side of the choke throttle andthe wall of the carburetor body. This gap should be 7.60mm (0.30"). When adjusting the setting, bend the stud (1)on the damper.

121. Secondary throttle stop position

Unscrew the adjusting screw until the throttles are fullyclosed. Screw in the screw until it makes contact with thelever stop lug. Screw in the screw a further 1/4 turn.Check that the throttles cannot be turned so far in thatthey get stuck in the ports. Adjust the screw again if re-quired.

122. Idling adjustment

Start by setting the idling mixture by screwing in the idlingmixture screws until they bottom gently against the seats.

IMPORTANT! Tighten them only gently, otherwise thejets and seats may be damaged.

Then screw the jets out by 3/4 turn.

Run the engine up to operating temperature. Set theidling speed to 750 r/min using the idle screw.

Turn the idling mixture screws in so that the enginespeed decreases. Unscrew both screws until the engineis running at the correct speed. Unscrew the screws tothe same extent on both sides. The idling speed shouldbe 750 r/min.

12. Where the clearance is excessive, the valve guidesshould be reamed to the next oversize. Use reamerkit 884991-1 which contains reamers for 0.015" OSand 0.030" OS. The appropriate oversize valveshould then be used.

13. If necessary, machine the valves in a valve grindingmachine. The angle should be:Exhaust valve: 45°Inlet valve: 45°

Minimum valve edge height after machining: 0.8 mm(0.0315")

14. Ensure that valves and valve seats are seating prop-erly. Apply marking dye to the valve seating surfaceand rotate it with light pressure against the seat. If thedye is not evenly distributed over the entire valve seatsurface (the valve is not sealing correctly), the valveshould be re-machined or the seat should be re-ground , and a new check carried out until the desiredresult is obtained.

15. Check the valve springs (without damper):Length without load: 51.6 mm (2.03")Length with 334-370 N: 44.0 mm (1.70")Length with 853-905 N: 31.7 mm (1.25")

16. Check the wear on the rocker arm bolts. Bolts withdamaged threads or that are loose in the cylinderhead must always be replaced with new ones.

17. Pull out the rocker arm bolt using tool 884627-1.Place the longer sleeve on the bolt and tighten thenut to the end of the thread. Unscrew the nut andlengthen the sleeve length with the shorter sleeve,pull out the remaining part of the bolt.

VALVE LIFTERSIf there is noise in one or more of the lifters, all liftersshould be disassembled and cleaned.

Noise can have other causes than faulty lifters. See faultdiagnosis below.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS VALVE LIFTERS• Spontaneous noise when starting the engine: This

is quite normal and is due to oil having been drainedfrom the lifters when the engine has been stopped forsome time. It takes a few seconds for the lifters to fillagain after starting.

• Spontaneous noise at idling, disappears with in-creased engine speed: This is an indication of wornvalve ball or dirt in the lifters.

• Noise at idling or when engine oil is hot, quiet athigher engine speed or with cold engine oil: Liftersthat leak a lot of oil.

• Noise at high engine speed, but quiet at low speed:Oil level above max on the oil dipstick – the crank-shaft whips the oil to foam, which causes the noise inthe lifters. Too low oil level – the oil pump sucks air athigh engine speed or when the boat rolls. Air in theoil can cause noise in the lifters.

24. Press down the piston using a push rod and removethe circlip using a screwdriver. Release the push rodand remove the internal parts.

1. Roller2. Lifter body3. Plunger spring4. Ball check retainer5. Ball check spring6. Ball7. Plunger8. Oil metering valve9. Push rod seat

10. Retaining ring

25. Loosen the ball holder using a screwdriver.

Clean all parts and inspect them carefully. If any ofthe internal parts are found to be worn the completevalve lifter should be replaced.

26. Place the ball and spring in the piston and fit the ballholder using a screwdriver.

Page 74: Volvo AQ205_430-430

72

27. Place the piston spring on the piston and insert intothe valve lifter.NOTE! The oil holes in lifter body and piston must lineup.

Fill the lifter with SAE 20 oil and press down the pis-ton using a 3 mm (1/8") drift (1) so that the oil holesalign.NOTE! Do not pump the piston.

Insert a 1.5 mm (1/16") drift (3) through the oil hole (2)so that the piston is locked in its bottom position. Re-move the 3 mm (1/8") drift and fill the lifter with SAE20 oil again.

Fit the valve, push rod seat and circlip. Press downthe seat and remove the 1.5 mm (1/16") drift.

28. Coat the bottom of the lifter with “Molykote” or equiva-lent and install the lifters in their original lifter-bores.

NOTE! New valve lifters should always be used whena new camshaft has been installed. Fill the lifters withoil and coat the bottom with “Molykote” or equivalent.

Overhauling the balance shaft,432A, 434A

1. The engines have been provided with a balance shaftfor operation with fewer vibrations. The balance shaftis built into the engine block between the rows of cyl-inders and is driven by the camshaft using a gearwheel at the front of the engine. The balance shaftruns at the same speed as the crankshaft. As thecamshaft rotates at half the speed of the crankshaft,the gear ratio is 1:2. The balance shaft is mounted ina roller bearing at the back and in a ball bearing atthe transmission.

Removal

2. Remove additional parts as described in chapter 4B.

Remove the cooling water hoses from the waterpump. Remove the water pump and the transmissioncover.

3. Remove the two screws (TX30) for the bearing retain-er. Knock out the balance shaft using a plastic mallet.

430A/B, 431A/BDescription2. The system is a breakerless transistorized ignition sys-

tem that provides very stable and accurate ignitiontiming. The electronic module is not affected by mois-ture, extreme temperatures or vibration. It is also pro-tected from excessive voltage and reversed polarity.The system is independent of engine speed and func-tions at all speeds above 0 rpm. Few componentsand a simple fault-tracing makes it very easy to serv-ice.

Function3. The system construction and external appearance is

that of a “traditional” ignition system with an ignitioncoil and distributor. The distributor has been changedso that the breaker points and the condenser havebeen replaced by an electronic module.

4. The ignition coil has a high voltage output and ismatched to the electronic module. A ballast resistor isnot used. The impulse sender is in the form of atoothed wheel with 6 teeth that corresponds to thecam on the distributor shaft for breaker point systems.

5. A sensor is mounted next to the impulse sender,which records the presence or absence of teeth. Thesensor functions as a metal detector. The electronicmodule sends a current to a fine wire coil in the sen-sor. The coil functions as an oscillator that creates amagnetic field. The field is affected by the presence ofthe teeth of the impulse sender. Each pulse, or “inter-ference”, that the impulse sender creates in the mag-netic field causes a transistor to electrically close oropen the primary voltage to the ignition coil, perform-ing the same function as breaker points.

Page 102: Volvo AQ205_430-430

100

6. When a tooth is right opposite the sensor and themagnetic field is disturbed a low frequency current issent to the electronic module. The transistor is in the“off” position and no current flows to the ignition coil.This corresponds to breaker points being open.

7. When there is a gap right opposite the sensor, themagnetic field is not disturbed by the presence ofmetal and a high frequency current is sent to the elec-tronic module. The transistor is in “on” position, pro-viding primary voltage to the ignition coil. This posi-tion corresponds to breaker points being closed. Theignition advance is controlled by centrifugal weightsand the dwell angle is determined by the air gap be-tween the sensor and the impulse sender.

Cleaning

8. Before starting any fault-tracing, all components in theignition system must be thoroughly cleaned. Use amild degreasing agent or special purpose cleaner.Dry the ignition coil, ignition wires and distributor. Thedistributor cap should also be dried on the inside.

9. Inspect the ignition wires, one at a time and inspectthe contact points for pitting, etc. Use amoisture-repelling spray such as Volvo Universal oilpart No. 1161398-1 or equivalent. Clean the sparkplug insulators. Clean the primary wiring in the sameway.

Page 103: Volvo AQ205_430-430

101

Fault-tracing10. Fault-tracing is carried out in two steps: Fault-tracing

the secondary circuit (high voltage)

Fault-tracing in the primary circuit (low voltage)

Always start the fault-tracing in the secondary circuit.

Trouble in the ignition system often occurs due to sev-eral different reasons. Do not stop the fault-tracingwhen one cause of the trouble has been found! Theentire fault-tracing procedure must be followed.

WARNING! In case of trouble in the high voltagesecondary circuit arcing and sparks can occur. Be-fore starting to work, make sure that there is no fuelor gas leakage. Ventilate the boat and run the en-gine room blower (if fitted) 2-3 minutes before com-mencing work.

WARNING! The high voltage secondary circuit pro-duces a voltage of more than 10000 V. It is verydangerous to come in contact with any of thesehigh voltage components. The ignition must beswitched off when working with the high voltagecircuit, and should only be switched on when per-forming function tests.

Fault-tracing the secondary circuit(high voltage circuit)11. The secondary circuit fault-tracing includes:

• ignition coil• distributor cap• rotor• ignition cables• spark plugs

12. Ignition coil

Check that the coil is dry and clean. Make sure that thereare no cracks in the top of the ignition coil. Inspect thecondition of the ignition wire connections and insulation.Check that the primary wires are connected correctly andare making good contact. Install the circulation pump,wrench size 14 mm.

13. Distributor cap and rotor

Make sure that the parts are clean and dry, and that thereare no cracks. Replace even if there is the smallest crackor if the contact points are heavily corroded or burnt.

14. Ignition wires

Make sure that the ignition wires are clean and dry.Check that there is good electrical contact and that theinsulation is not damaged. Be extra careful when inspect-ing the coil wire. The resistance of the ignition wiresshould be 0 W, test using an ohm meter.

15. Spark plugs

Check the spark plugs for wear and deposit build up.Make sure that the insulator is not cracked.

16. Start the engine

If the engine starts and runs smoothly, there is no need tocontinue the fault-tracing.

17. Engine does not start

Connect the inductive sender for a timing light around theignition wire between the ignition coil and distributor.Connect the light to the power source. Have someonecrank the engine with starter motor. Check if the lightstarts to flash. If so, the primary circuit (low voltage) isworking correctly.

18. Timing light does not flash; carry out points 13-15again. Also make sure that the starting difficulty is notdue to a problem in the fuel system or that the ignitiontiming has been altered. For ignition setting pleaserefer to point 35.

19. If the timing light still does not flash, remove the dis-tributor cap and rotor. Rotate the engine so that oneof the impulse sender teeth stop right opposite thesensor. Check that the distributor shaft is not bent.Check the air gap between the impulse sender andsensor. The distance should be 0.20-0.25 mm(0.0078-0.0098"). Adjust if necessary.

Page 104: Volvo AQ205_430-430

102

20. Re-fit the distributor cap. Repeat point 17. If the timinglight still does not flash, the primary circuit voltageshould be measured with voltmeter.

21. Troubleshooting of the primary circuit includes:• battery• supply circuit battery-ignition coil• check of ignition coil resistance• check of electronic module

22. Make sure that the battery connections are clean andmaking good contact. Clean and grease with an elec-trically conductive grease, e.g. CRC’s copper paste orsimilar. If the battery seems to be in poor condition,carry out a thorough battery test and replace the bat-tery if necessary.

Fault-tracing in the primary circuit(low voltage)

23. Measuring the voltage in the primary circuit

Rotate the engine so that the sensor lines up betweentwo teeth on the impulse sender, corresponding to thebreaker points being closed. Turn the starter key to theignition position. The primary circuit is now engaged. Thevalue V-1 should be between 12 and 13 V. If lower,charge the battery. Should the battery seem to be in poorcondition, a more thorough battery test should be carriedout and the battery replaced if necessary.

NOTE! Always carry out a voltage drop test according topoints 31-34, even if the problem has been found.

24. Connect the voltmeter between the ignition coil + con-nection and ground. This voltage (V-2) should bemax. 1 V lower than V-1. Normally 0.5 V lower value.

25. If V-2 has a lower value, the reason for the voltagedrop must be found, refer to points 31-34.

26. Connect the voltmeter between the ignition coil – con-nection and ground. This voltage V-3 should be be-tween 4 and 8 V. If less than 4 V – see point 29. Ifmore than 8 V, carry on according to point 30.

Page 105: Volvo AQ205_430-430

103

27. Now place a screwdriver in the opening in front of thesensor. V-3 should now read between 12 and 13 V.Should the voltmeter show correct values, althoughthe ignition is not functioning, this indicates a fault intie ignition coil. Test the coil by measuring the resist-ance between + and – connections (R2) in the prima-ry circuit. The resistance should be 1.25-1.4 W at20°C (68°F). Then measure the resistance of the sec-ondary circuit (R1). It should be 9.4-11.7 kW at 20°C(68°F). If necessary, replace the ignition coil.NOTE! Remove the ignition coil connections whenmeasuring.

28. Connect the timing light according to point 17. Installthe distributor cap and rotor. Turn the engine. If thetiming light does not light, there is also a fault in theelectronic module. Replace the electronic module.

29. V-3 shows less than 4 V. Remove the connectionfrom the coil – connection and connect only the volt-meter to the – connection.

If the voltmeter now shows 12-13 V, it indicates thatthe ignition coil is not at fault and that there is a shortcircuit in the electronic module. If the same value isobtained, it indicates a faulty coil. There is an opencircuit in the primary winding. Replace the coil.

30. V-3 is more than 8 V, typically 12-13 V, the same asfor the coil + connection. This indicates poor or noconnection to ground between the distributor and en-gine block. Such a fault is unusual, however. Checkthe distributor ground connection. If there is no faultthere, replace the electronic module.

31. Voltage drop – supply circuit battery to ignition coil

A poor connection in this circuit leads to voltage drop tothe ignition coil. This voltage drop often results in intermit-tent ignition failure, irregular ignition, backfiring, etc.

Page 106: Volvo AQ205_430-430

104

32. Rotate the engine so that the sensor stops right be-tween two teeth on the impulse sender.

33. Connect the + side of a voltmeter to the battery + con-nection and the voltmeter - side to the ignition coil +connection. With the ignition switch on, the voltageV-4 should be less than 1 V, typically 1/2 V. Do notstop the test if the value is correct.

34. Look for poor contact by moving the wire connectionsat the battery, starter motor, solenoid, harness con-nections, starter key and ignition coil. Should a con-tact point change the voltmeter reading when this iscarried out, the connection must be removed and thefaulty connection corrected.

WARNING! Sparking might occur, so make surethat the boat is properly ventilated.

Ignition timing

35. Check the ignition timing using a stroboscopic timinglight on the vibration damper.NOTE! A workshop rev counter should be used for ig-nition timing, not the boat instruments.

The setting should be:

430A/B:8° B.T.D.C. at 1800 rpm21° B.T.D.C. at 3300 rpm

431A/B:8° B.T.D.C. at 750 rpm (idling)16° B.T.D.C. at 2500 rpm

Description and function36. The ignition system is a breakerless, electronic high

energy system (HEI) with a magnetic induction sensor(pulse generator), a distributor with a rotor, an elec-tronic unit and a dry-type ignition coil. It is character-ized by the fact that is has few components, and it hasprecise and stable timing. The electronics are protect-ed against moisture, insensitive to extreme tempera-tures, shaking and vibration.

The cams and points on the timing shaft have beenreplaced by a magnetic pulse generator. The systemoperates independently of the engine speed.Pre-ignition is regulated automatically in the electron-ic unit,

The pulse generator consists of a rotating solenoidwith 6 teeth. There is a fixed solenoid around the ro-tating solenoid. The fixed solenoid also has 6 teeth(corresponding to the cams on the timing shaft in asystem with breaker points). Inside the fixed solenoidis a fine wire coil, which is molded in plastic.

When the solenoid rotates, a voltage is induced in thecoil. This voltage is affected by the position of the so-lenoid teeth in relation to one another. When the teethare directly opposite one another, the voltage is 0. Weget a pulsating voltage with alternating polarity. Inturn, the voltage makes a transistor in the electronicunit make and break the circuit of the primary currentto the ignition coil. In this way, we get a precise elec-trical pulse which controls the primary current in theignition system. In other words, the coil, teeth andtransistor fulfil the same function as the points in aconventional ignition system.

The electronic unit has a number of integral circuitscomprising transistors, resistors, diodes and capaci-tors. In addition, there is a current-limiting circuitwhich regulates the primary current to the ignition coilto a maximum of 5.5 Amp. No ignition resistance unitsare required, and the electronic unit can thus operateat maximum power.

Pre-ignition is regulated fully automatically and elec-tronically in the electronic unit.

Page 108: Volvo AQ205_430-430

106

Ignition timing37. If the distributor has been removed, the crankshaft po-

sition should be checked and the distributor fitted inaccordance with the section entitled “B. Ignition un-synchronized” , point 57.

When setting the ignition timing, the following are re-quired:

– special tool no. 885163-6, connector for basic setting(disconnects pre-ignition regulation)

– stroboscope and inductive sensor (ignition timinglamp)

– workshop tachometer.

38. Start the engine and let it run until it reaches normaloperating temperature. Connect the ignition timinglamp, with the lamp’s sensor around the ignition leadto No. 1 cylinder. Connect up the workshop tachome-ter. The engine should be idling. Remove the blindplug (1) and connect connector no. 885163.

39. Connect the connector’s crocodile clip to the battery’s+ terminal, for example B+ on the starter motor. Thepre-ignition function will stop when this is connected.The engine speed will probably then decrease.

IMPORTANT! The engine must be running whenthe crocodile clip is connected to the + terminal.Otherwise the ignition system’s electronics maybe damaged.

Iignition timing: 0° BTDC at 750 r/min.

40. Slightly undo the distributor clamp in the engine blockand turn the distributor so that the engine timing iscorrect. Tighten the clamp.

Tightening torque: 27 Nm (2.70 kpm/19.98 ft.lb.).

Recheck the ignition after tightening.

Troubleshooting41. Ignition leads

Check that the ignition leads are clean and dry. Checkthat there is good electrical contact and that the insulationis not damaged. Take special care when inspecting thelead from the ignition coil (an engine can quite easily rununder normal conditions, but it may not start if there istracking on the ignition leads).

The resistance in the ignitions leads should be 0 ohm.Check this using an ohmmeter.

42. Spark plugs

Check that the spark plugs are clean and that the elec-trodes are not worn. Also check that the insulator is notcracked.

43. Distributor cap and rotor

Check that the parts are clean and dry and that there areno cracks. Replace any parts that are even slightlycracked or if the points of contact are heavily corroded orburned.

44. Checking B+ (12 Volt), ignition coil

Remove the connector and leads from the tachometer/ignition lock (gray/mauve) from the ignition coil. Connecta voltmeter, with its positive (+) connected to the pin forthe mauve lead and its negative (–) to ground.

Start the ignition. The voltmeter should display a value ofat least 8 Volt.

Page 109: Volvo AQ205_430-430

107

45. Checking B+ (12 Volt), distributor

Connect the gray/mauve lead to the ignition coil. Removethe connector with brown/light red leads from the distribu-tor. Connect a voltmeter, + to the pin for the light red leadand – to ground.

Start the ignition.

The voltmeter should display a value of at least 8 Volt.

46. Ignition coil

Check the ignition coil for short-circuiting or breaks usingan ohmmeter. Check this by measuring the resistancethree times. Connect the ohmmeter as described inpoints 1 – 3 below.

1. The ohmmeter should display a very high resistance(infinite). Replace the coil if the value is incorrect.

2. The ohmmeter should display a very low resistance of0.35-0.45 ohm. Replace the coil if the value is incor-rect.

3. The ohmmeter should display a high, but not infinite,resistance, (7500-9000 ohm). Replace the coil if thevalue is incorrect.

47. Distributor

Remove the distributor cap, rotor and connector from thecoil. Check the coil by connecting an ohmmeter to it asdescribed in points 4 – 5. Also check the leads for breaksby bending and twisting them while measuring.

4. The ohmmeter should always display an infinitelyhigh resistance. If this is not the case, the coil is faultyand should be replaced.

5. The ohmmeter should display a stable value of be-tween 700 and 900 ohm, even when the leads arebent or twisted. If the resistance changes, there is afault in the leads or in the coil.NOTE! It is normal for the resistance to change whenthe rotor shaft is turned.

48. Electronic unit

The electronic unit shows only two symptoms of faults: nospark at the plugs, or pre-ignition inoperative.

NOTE! When replacing the electronic unit, the contactsurface with engine should be cleaned extremely careful-ly. Afterwards, grease the surface with silicone grease orwith heat transfer paste designed for electronic compo-nents, Volvo Penta part no. 3851513-6.

Replacing components, removal

49. Distributor

Remove the high tension lead from the ignition coil andthe contact piece from the electronic unit. Turn the crank-shaft so that No. 1 cylinder is in the ignition position (bothvalves are fully closed).

Remove the distributor cap. Note the position of the rotorand mark this position on the distributor.

Also mark the distributor’s position in relation to the en-gine block in order to place it in the correct position whenfitting it. If the engine’s crankshaft has changed positionwhile the distributor is not connected, the ignition must becompletely reset as described in the section entitled “B.Ignition unsynchronized” , point 57.

Remove the distributor clamp (1) and pull the distributorout of the engine. Remove the gasket. Pull the rotor offthe timing shaft.

50. Electronic unit

Remove the leads from the coil. Remove the screws andthe electronic unit. The unit may sometimes get stuck inthe distributor and have to be prised out.

IMPORTANT! Remove all heat transfer paste from theelectronic unit and the distributor. Clean the contact sur-faces carefully.

51. Drive

Mark the position of the drive in relationship to the shaftso that it is replaced in the same position as before.Knock out the locking pin using a drift (diam. 4.5 mm/0.18") and pull off the drive, washer and star washer.

Fitting

52. Electronic unit

Ensure that the contact surfaces between the electronicunit and the distributor are clean. Spread heat transferpaste such as silicone grease, Volvo Penta part no.3851513-6 on the electronic unit.

NOTE! Heat transfer paste or silicone grease is neces-sary to prevent the electronic unit from overheating.

Fit the unit to the distributor.

55. Distributor

56. A. Ignition synchronized

(The crankshaft/valves have remained in the same posi-tion while the distributor was removed.)

There are markings for the rotor – distributor casing anddistributor – engine block.)

Turn the rotor approximately 60° counterclockwise in re-lation to the rotor – distributor casing markings.

Place a new gasket over the hole in the engine block. Putthe distributor into the engine and ensure that it is posi-tioned correctly.

NOTE! The rotor may need to be turned slightly in orderto position the distributor correctly. Ensure that the distrib-utor – engine housing markings are aligned.

Fit the distributor clamp. The screws should be tightenedonly to the extent that the distributor can be turned, with alittle resistance.

Connect the leads from the ignition coil.

Grease all the terminals in the distributor cap. Fit the dis-tributor cap. Tighten the screws. Connect the leads to theignition coil and spark plugs.

57. B. Ignition unsynchronized

(The crankshaft/valves have not remained in the sameposition while the distributor was removed.)

This method is also used when no markings have beenmade between the rotor and distributor casing and dis-tributor and engine block.

Place No. 1 cylinder in the ignition position (both valvesare fully closed) and ensure that the 0° marking on thevibration damper is directly opposite the marking on theengine block. No. 1 cylinder is now in the ignition posi-tion.

Fit the distributor and a new gasket in the engine. Whenthe distributor is in place, the rotor should be in the firingposition for No. 1 cylinder – see figure. If you find it diffi-cult to position the distributor correctly, press down gentlyon the distributor cap and rotate the crankshaft at thesame time. Put the clamp on when the distributor is in thecorrect position. The clamp screw should be tightenedonly to the extent that the distributor can be turned, with alittle resistance.

Fit the distributor cap. Turn the distributor in the engineblock so that the rotor is in contact with the terminal forNo. 1 cylinder (spark plug). Tighten the distributor clamp.

Check all the high tension leads and connect the ignitionleads. Ensure that these leads are connected in the cor-rect order.

Connect the lead from the ignition coil to the electronicunit.

Then continue with the section entitled “Ignition timing ”,point 37 – 40.

WARNING! Before starting the engine, ensure thatno gasoline fumes can be detected on board andthat the boat is sufficiently well ventilated.
