I read over the decarb,and was going to do it this week on my 85 force motor.

I noticed in the decarb instrustions there was mention of a fuel plug .
I haven't had the motor apart yet,so was just wondering in a 1985-force 85 motor has one of these on it?

Hopefully this will help get me moving faster soon :)
Thanks,
Scotty

No idea what a fuel plug is.If your motor has set for any length of time,then do the decarb. If it doesn't run good then the carbs need to be cleaned and the fuel pump and hoses need to be replaced.J

Re: question about de-carb on 85 force

It ran good last year.


The part i was wondering about in the decarb,is listed below.
===================
You'll need 3/4 gallon of gasoline and one 16oz can of Seafoam for each engine. Don't forget to add 3oz of oil if you are pre-mixing in a carbed engine. Use a 3 ft piece of fuel hose off the small tank. Connect this tank to your engine by pulling off the main tank fuel hose from the intake side of your water separating fuel filter and plug the hose off the small tank onto that fitting.



Or you can separate the fuel line on the tank side primer ball, so you can still use your primer. If your engine has a fuel plug then you will also need a fuel plug on the smaller tank's hose. Start the engine,
===================================================


so i just didn't know if the 85 force had one.
Thanks,
Scotty
