    Low Compression on Cylinder #2

    It's a tough one. Many times the junk you buy of others hands are just that, junk. Poorly maintained, kept running when it should have been repaired or serviced. Seized nuts and bolts and with low compression or any other symptoms under the sun....... Some times it's better to buy a complete...

    Another Guy With Force 120 Issue

    I haven't seen anybody bash anybody on this forum over grammar, and that's nice! We are quite a few people from other parts of the world getting the spelling and grammar wrong all the time. But as long as people get the meaning, I think it's fine.

    Another Guy With Force 120 Issue

    Yes it should be backed out to richen the mixture. Maybe take a note of what it's base adjustment is, from lightly seated. Then run the engine and screw it out till the engine starts running rough, then a hair back and try it out and see what temps you got. If nothing else it's a starting point...

    Another Guy With Force 120 Issue

    Well I don't know the engine, but does it have 4 carbs? If so you could adjust the carb to run a little richer than the others by turning the idle mixture on that carb and then measure temp again while running it like you did. Could be many reasons for a lean condition, but adjusting idle...

    Chrysler 65hp clutch dog problem

    Ok I got the parts, well most parts, and now I'm planning the rebuild. The first concern I have is with the prop shaft spool. It appears to be unpainted and just raw alu, it was somewhat corroded and I'm wondering how to avoid that again if at all possible or even desirable since the anode bolts...

    Voids found after new transom install

    How should moisture or water get into the voids in the first place? And what should stop moisture from getting in behind the rest of the wood core? Did you add stringers and reinforcements from the inside when building the new transom? If so I would not consider it a big problem. I think the...

    Pimping my Chrysler 65hp, thoughts and ideas

    Nordin I know exactly what you mean and I really do admire people who keeps all these things running like they were built. I just can't help myself, I have to modify the stuff I have.... But I do believe we share the love for the design of all that old stuff, the good old days! For modern people...

    Pimping my Chrysler 65hp, thoughts and ideas

    While waiting for parts and stuff to complete the repair of the worn clutch dog and gear on my Chrysler 65hp I ran across some pictures online of vintage race Chryslers, merc's and others. Torpedo shaped raw aluminium gearboxes, stacker exhaust and personalized engine covers like late Frank's...

    Low Compression on Cylinder #2

    I have no idea, but maybe you could access number 2 trough the reed plate opening? Go for it and let us know what you find.

    Low Compression on Cylinder #2

    At this point I would consider getting another engine that runs with good compression. There is quite some scoring in that cylinder and my concern is that a rebore/ re-piston on 3 cylinders would cost more than it's worth. And you always end up replacing far more stuff than you intended. If I...

    New issue on the 105 water pump. Gearcase issue.

    I agree with jerryjerry. With these gearboxes you would prefer having some forward bias so that when you come out of forward you go slightly past neutral into reverse to actually get neutral. But maybe that's what you got? At least if it's old and worn and have developed some play over the...

    Measurements of Chrysler flared washer/spacer and long cone

    Ok today my nos flared spacer and long cone (124mm long) arrived from the states. The long cone doesn't fit my setup, it must be for the larger engines, swinging 13" dia props. I assume that the flared spacer for the 15 spline shafts are larger too! Mine is the 13 spline with 10" dia prop. It is...

    Chrysler 65hp clutch dog problem

    I do have the service manual for my engine but I don't have the tools for pinion adjustment. But I'm not changing anything and hope to just reassemble and sail. What I meant was, there is no "easy" way to adjust the forward gear in relation to the pinion gear. I know you can alter the height of...

    Chrysler 65hp clutch dog problem

    jerryjerry it looks well constructed but at the same time poorly engineered, at least compared to a cars differential. Now I haven't studied the service manual to any length, but as far as I can tell there's no adjusting forward gear in relation to the pinion gear. The adjustment of play in the...

    New issue on the 105 water pump. Gearcase issue.

    If you have that little out of round your shaft is not bend I would say. Most likely something with the prop. But always exiting to stumble across yet another problem with these old farts, and then fixing it.

    Chrysler 65hp clutch dog problem

    Ok cool if you have a look this weekend but don't stress yourself over it. Do you have different washers to compensate for the play? Ah just saw you would order the correct one!! I must admit there is many things about this lower unit I find very strange and poorly engineered. But that being...

    New issue on the 105 water pump. Gearcase issue.

    Hi Steve, that doesn't sound good... I would remove the prop and verify with a straight edge or some contraption if the prop shaft is bent. It could be the anode sitting a little higher in one side and the prop itself not 100% straight on the hub, but you have to find out. My lower unit is...

    Chrysler 65hp clutch dog problem

    There is actually quite a bit of play against the prop shaft and that bothers me. The propshaft does not wiggle because it is guided from the carrier all the way back to forward gear's bushing. But looking online I can't find a reverse gear for this gearcase with bushing in it, only other...
