    1986 85hp force 856X6L---Oil Plug retap

    Over the years of owning lots of Forces, this spot caused the most aggravation. It would weep oil no matter what I did to seal it. I tried paste sealers(plumbers goo) thread tape and a few others. Never really did fid a way. My thoughts on Anti-seize, Yes use it. In salt water it doesn't work as...

    What I posted was the values for a CDI stator. The OEM are much higher than the CDI. I believe(not positive) the OEM is around 800. I'd have to get my service manual out to double check.

    Spanner wrench

    Unfortunately your not gonna find a new wrench. :( Someone selling one on Ebay is another that's not gonna happen either. You can cut the old ring out and replace it??

    79 Chrysler 115 Won't go into gear

    Undo the shift cable and shift by hand and see if it works better? Possible bad shift cable or the shift shaft is corroded/corrosion and locks in place.

    70's PenYan

    Under the cowl, there's a tag with the Model# and Serial# Post those #s along with the compression reading. A Chrysler 115 hp outboard motor is a discontinued model that was produced in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It was eventually sold to U.S. Marine, who rebranded the line as Force...

    what motors are compatible with the 88 125 force?

    If the starters still on??? do a compression test. Jumper cables probably won't supply enough amperage to do a good test, hook to a battery. On the block under the ignition components is a foundry stamp with the year marked in the center. The white is 1986 and older. Blac/blue is 97 and up. The...

    Zerk Fitting Locations

    One for the tilt lock mechanism. The center of the swivel bracket/steering arm has another. You'd think there would be more???.

    The whole trigger doesn't usually go bad. Try swapping the packs around? Check the flywheel key to see if it's sheared.

    1986 85hp force 856X6L no spark

    No spark all cylinders? Usually both packs don't go bad. More likely the stator is bad. Even new stator can be bad. You have a kill switch? Test that.

    I'm stumped, please help. 1996 40HP force outboard

    IF??? you have spark on both leads and it's nice and bright/sharp. Then something else is the problem. Recheck the fuel pump. Recheck the throat of the carb for obstructions(foam possibly).
