allan... some times I will hear these engines with a loud (ignition) knock, and others not...is this because of injectors that need to be overhauled ? Most seem to run smothly , but some rock . Uneven compression, or injectors again ? Did you see my video clearing badly rusted cooling jackets with evaporust in warm engine ?

This motor must have been underwater. There will be salt, dirt, oil, and rust to remove.

You always do such beautiful work. These are great engines, that deserve to be repaired and used.

I have watched so many of your Volvo Videos....always interesting and inspiring !

The Volvo MD series of engines will run practically forever with a little care. Often they are discarded when some simple repairs would let them serve for decades longer. This MD-2 is running like a watch.

Can it produce electricity?

Lufting av disel

Lovely engine ,got same in my sailing boat .love him and he loves you .that calm sound ,poop poop poop .

What is a dynastart, anyone?

Hi , Just had my MD3B rebuilt. Started overheating after 15min load. Did you have to bleed off the raw water system before starting or dii it fill straight from the strainer, Plenty of water coming out but seems to be by passing the engine block Thanks Donal

Хорошая компрессия у движка! Сразу ожил как только стартер крутнул!

I need to try to drive a volvo 25cv md2b with dynastar

hello.... im need

Någon som kan md17 c? Får inte fram bränsle till spridare, även om jag luftar på alla 7punkter, hur kollar jag om matarpump fungerar?

hej hvad koster sådan en renovering ??

Volvo Penta MD2 i guess

This is a Volvo MD2B with valve lifters

I recently got a sailboat that has a Volvo penta Md2b. The previous owner had the engine running just fine when he owned it, but it hadn’t been ran in 4 or 5 years. After months of struggling to figure out why it wouldn’t start I figured out he had installed a timer. That definitely explained some of the problems I was having. But I still am struggling to get it started and keep it running. I have looked over several things including; rebuilding the high and low pressure pumps, I’m pretty positive the fuel is getting to the injectors. It is also super hard to hand crank. I am now working on the electrical system. I am hoping someone out there has some knowledge of this engine and it’s electrical system and is willing to maybe give me a few pointers. Thank you, from a couple trying to go boating;)

Er det til at få dele til dem?

Can you tell me the size of the front flywheel nut? And how can i unlock it?

Hello I have this same engine..where do you put oil for the gear box,or transmission at??? I looked all over ..is it the same as the oil deep stick...the book saids something like is the same oil comprttment but at the same time it shows like it has a input (oil) nd output (oil) plug..I couldn't find it.

Hello from argentina

Nice !

Добрый день где такой двигатель купить ??? и как на него с запчастями обстоят дела

Dumb running it with no coolant going into the engine.

Allan.. take a look at how I removed rust from my cooling system using Evapo-rust chelating rust remover. This reduced the temp of the lower cylinder by 200 degrees Ffrom 400 + to 185-200 F ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/np2phXl8m9CfrtU

what is the knock.. valve adjustment or injection timing ?

Some Engines you don't want to turn over before you start working on them.This is one of those. I am glad I learned about Evapo-rust a chelating rust remover, because it is the most practical way of dealing with this much rust.. without doing mechanical damage. A whole new way of doing things.. better.

it looks as if this engine has been submerged briefly...??

Facing the valve seats.

Purrrr-fect

Very Nice Allan... lovely running .

Sweeeeeet!! :)

Compression release for each cylinder makes starting a breeze! I had a MD2 with a hand crank on a 42ft. sailboat I had in early 80's, never failed to start, dead batteries meant nothing which was a life saver more than once!

I wanna see you hand crank this motor please??

Allan, is there a commonly available fuel filter cartridge that will work ?I couldn't believe an English outfit wanting something like 30 pounds for one !

lovely little motor.. looks like it has the starter/generator ? I am just learning the ins and outs of my MD-3B the 3 cyl version of this .

Standard power plant in the Fisher 30 ..

Running just like a watch ! These are wonderful marine engines, and we can see here well appreciated in this workshop ! Shown running is the 36 hp 3 cylinder version, and in the shop the 1 and 2 cylinder versions that share the same cylinder, head, piston, valves, and injector. This is a raw water cooled engine, but I believe there is another version with heat exchanger manifold. I plan to keep mine, and keep it up. The separate cylinders and heads make service in the boat much more practical.

Hvad koster sådan en omgang ?

looks like volvo

waiting for the fire report from that pile of rubbish and fuel. nice motor

Rogivande ljud.

hey allan super lækker motor, jeg har magen til og er igang med at resturere den, er det noget du kender nogen der gerne vil give en hånd med ?

Hej Allan. her er den: carlchristianriestra(snabela)gmail.com God jul! Mvh Carl

Hej Allan Fin Kanal du har her. Rart at se du holder liv i de gode gamle motorer! Kan man komme i kontakt med dig, hvis man har et lille projekt, en md11c'er? Mvh Carl

Hej Steffen du kan maile [email protected]
