Mowjo Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Ok Folks I need a bit of help with this one, a elderly guy who moors near me is trying to find a Manual for his engine, according to him it's an Inboard 1974 Petrol Volvo Penta 50, I've searched the internet for him as he dosn't have access to a computer, but I can't find any reference to this engine at all, so has he given me the wrong info or do any of you know where I could get hold of a manual for him, Regards Frank,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senator Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Looks like there was an MB2/50s couldnt tell you if this is your engine but maybe a line of investigation http://www.marineengine.com/manuals/vol ... d_gas.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowjo Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 Thanks Senator! I don't think thats the one, because he's is an inboard diesel, I'm just wondering if that 50 relates to 50 HP and not the model, so I'm now trying to find a download for a 1974 Volvo Penta, Regards Frank,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilB Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 As long as the info is correct it sounds like a MB20B at 53hp, it was made between 1969 and 1975. There's some info an the owners manual here - http://www.volvopenta.com/VOLVOPENTA/UK ... gines.aspx Type MB20B into the engine type box, search and then select the gasoline version. Senators link shows the MB20 but you could just try yout local Penta dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowjo Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 Neil, I did a few searches and everything seems to lead to that MB20B, I've just printed it off for him, only 53 pages long, mind you it has everything you'll ever need to know about the engine, next time I see him I'll double check it with the engine number, but as I say that looks like the kiddie, once again thanks,, Regards Frank,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranger Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 errr you did say it was a petrol in your 1st post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowjo Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 Sorry Dave you've lost me?? I put in the info Neil gave me and it brought up the MB20B petrol engine, I'm hoping it's the right one I don't fancy printing off another 53 pages,, Regards Frank,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowjo Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 I might have it? I just did another check seems there are two versions the petrol (gasolene one) and the other is Kerosene/Paraffin which I presume is the same as diesel, if I type in Volvo MB20B it brings up the diesel version, if I go to the Volvo site and fill the info bit in it brings up the petrol one,, Regards Frank,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I get the feeling Dave thinks there is only a diesel version of this engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I get the feeling Dave thinks there is only a diesel version of this engine. I don't know that it's that, but the beginning of the thread did seem a little mixed up. Frank said: according to him it's an Inboard 1974 Petrol Volvo Penta 50 and then after Ian posted his link he said: Thanks Senator! I don't think thats the one, because he's is an inboard diesel So Dave isn't the only one confused.... I am too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowjo Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Sorry folks my mistake, I did put diesel in the second post, think my brain went into overload printing all those pages off, anyway thanks for all the help, hopefully it's the info he's looking for, I never knew trying to help someone could end up such a pain, I spent three hours trying to find info on the net and it didn't help that I didn't have all the right info, teach me not to ask here first in future,, Regards Frank,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Thanks for the link to the Volvo site Neil - Now downloaded a full engine manual for my Kad42's !! Makes excellent bath-time reading !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbird Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 What amuses me with that site Luke, is when you put in your engine numbers you get about 6 different versions of the manuals come up, all basically the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Ah, I just put in Kad42a with the year, so I'm guessing its the right one !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
