Volvo Penta 8.1l Gi-F light load miss fix


Yesterday the captain and I were out on the 2006 Carved 36MY "Condo" and experienced a stuttering in the port engine. It was moderate light load 1400rpm, after having just gassed up.

It would run smooth for a bit, then rough, then smooth. I initially thought we'd sucked up some residual water in the fuel tank, and has it trapped in the filter from our most recent fillup.

After we came back, I decided to pull spark plugs to get a read on their condition. Turns out they were OEM from 2006, with 270hrs, and one has cracked insulator. A quick trip to auto parts store got me a new set of exact replacements.

Now a much smoother running motor!
