    Force Outboards Rated By Model

    No all 85 and 90 Hp are 3 cylinders with three carbs. The one carb 70Hp from 1991 and up with Chrysler/Force power head and Mercury gear case is a 3 cylinder engine. The 85 and 90Hp are good engines, old school design (cross flow chargning) from the 60.es and with newer electronic ignition...

    1976 456hh 45 hp.magneto model

    Does it foul the plug and destroy it? Or is it the ignition coil that fail after about 1 hour? Do running at low RPMs (trolling) all the time or do you throttle it up and running at higher RPMs? Fouling plugs and make the plug to get shorted is due to the air/fuel mixture is to rich.

    Force Outboards Rated By Model

    Are we talking about the 55Hp who was introduced in 1968 or the 55Hp from 1977 with twin carbs (818cc volume) which actually was the 60Hp from 1974 (with Magna Power II ignition system)? I suppose we are talking about the early 55Hp from 1968. These engines has the same LU as the 35 and 45 Hp...

    1964 9.5 evinrude

    Those three mechanics do not know what they are talking about. Have worked with outboards in 25 years and many different brands. That engine is fried, scored cylinder walls, scored pistons and the piston crowns are affected from overheat and or pre detonation.

    1964 9.5 evinrude

    Remember when you spin it with a drill, how fast does the drill spin? If you have a drill with one gear it only spins about 500RPM. The OB idle about 750-800RPM. Checking with a drill is not a sufficient check and why do you want to check the impeller! The impeller needs to be changed every 3-5...

    Throttle and remote control linkage adjustment

    When moving the remote handle turn the prop at the same time. If the clutch dog teeth are facing against the gear teeth you maybe damage the shift rod or the remote control. If you turn the prop when moving the remote handle the teeth at gear and clutch dog will engage as it should. When you...

    Throttle and remote control linkage adjustment

    As less play as possible. When adjusting the connectors the shift connector should be adjusted soo the ball just drop into the hole in the connector. The throttle connector should be adjusted soo you have a spring load. You should have to pull it 1/4 in to drop the ball in the connector hole.

    Throttle and remote control linkage adjustment

    Yes that are the right connectors. The spring loaded longer one for the throttle and the shorter for the shift.

    Throttle and remote control linkage adjustment

    Do you have the correct end couplers? The throttle should have a spring loaded coupler and the shifter should have a coupler without a spring load function.

    50 hp high speed misfire

    Okey, if you have the timing advance at 28 drg BTDC at cranking speed, then you are on track.

    50 hp high speed misfire

    The Force power, yes of course the no load situation with no prop will cause the stumbling acting, you are right. My experience is that the cross flow engines like Chrysler/Force are more sensitive to it then OMCs and Mercs that are loop charged and direct charged. 2 cylinders are more sensitive...

    50 hp high speed misfire

    Yes as The Force power says when throttling down when running in a tank and without a prop some two strokers can behave like it is misfire. I think it depends on if it is a cross flow engine or a loop charger. From my experience it will arise more at 2 cylinders then 3 or 4 cylinders. Maybe some...

    '87 Force 125HP ignition problem

    This ignition system can be confusing but follow he troubleshooting chart and swap the CDI boxes etc. Do output test with a DVA meter/adapter and you will find out the bad part. It is good if you have known good working parts to put on. I know it is expensive parts for the ignition system but...

    Big water leak inside cowl, any tips for this coming repair?

    Nice to hear that you stopped the leak. Yes there are check valves in the recirc system. There are two typical reed valves under the cover.

    Big water leak inside cowl, any tips for this coming repair?

    Look at the explode diagram at Crowley Marine. Looks like there is no gasket between the power head and the adapter plate. If the leak is there you have to check if there are some defect at the surfaces. Pull the cover (dog bone) of the recirc system, clean the screens and put the cover back.

    Big water leak inside cowl, any tips for this coming repair?

    Okey, good if you got it loose without the rubber mounts going bad. Sometime there are no problem to remove them sometime some of them separate the rubber from the steel plate. Clean the surface of the mid leg and the surface of the adapter plate/power head. Use some liquid gasket just to hold...

    Crack in cylinder wall, need insight....

    You can google Belzona 1111 and I think they have a video of their products. It gives you some information about it. My father who was manager of a truck/forklift workshop at the swedish steel company Sandvik used this product to repair cracks in heavy duty diesel engine blocks.

    Crack in cylinder wall, need insight....

    This is a hard one, I am not very good in welding consequences. Your argument from welding seams right in my opinion. As you have put so much money in it I would go on and just run it. Notice all the time you run it how it act and if it starts to misfire check compression and look for water in...

    Chrysler 75hp, need direction.

    If I was you I would check the carbs by clean them, set the float levels and set the air/fuel mixture screws them start it up and run. The floats should be level with the carb casting edge when turned the carb up side down. Air/fuel mixture screws should be 1 1/8-1 1/4 turned out from lightly...

    Chrysler 75hp, need direction.

    As the compression are good and pretty equal at all three it seams okey. But to be sure no cylinder are running lean just look at the carbs and clean them. Are you sure the top cylinder is running lean?? Did you look into the cylinder holes with a camera or just with a flash light? It is hard to...
