Guy48065 where do you buy impellers to Force/Chrysler for 115 dollars?
A impeller kit to the larger engines.... yes, but just an impeller no.
They cost from 14 dollars and up to about 45 dollars.
Parts to Chrysler/Force are most of the time equal in cost to the OMCs.
I am in Sweden Europe and...
As topgun3690 says, check the exhaust rubber boot at the rear of the lower leg cover.
If no leak there check the exhaust cover at the engine for a leak.
Do not loose the screws at the cover if not necessary, they snap really easy if they are stuck.
Agree with both topgun 3690 and Buster53.
Chrysler got a bad reputation because it was a bit heavier on fuel then OMC and Merc.
In my opinion just a bit heavier, the OMCs drank a lot of fuel too.
Chrysler had an old design of the engine, it was from the late 50.es/early 60.es as West Bend brand...
Agree with topgun3690.
Some other things to have in mind.
Use good quality TC W3 two stroke oil with 50:1 mix and remember the engine is old, do not run the hell out of it.
Do not run at full throttle for a long time.
3/4 throttle is much better and the fuel consumption will be accepetable.
Take...

General start procedure when cold.
Pump up the primer ball until it is firm.
Set up a fast idle at the remote control.
Push in the key switch to choke when turning the key to start.
When the engine starts pull the fast idle back a bit to warm up the engine or all way back to idle if it will run...
The stator do not need an exact position.
It purpose is to charge the CDI box capacitors and to charge the battery through the rectifier.
An exact location is not necessary.
The length of the wires may give a location.
Looks good in my opinion, but clean up the edges of the stator poles iron cores with sandpaper.
It is to remove most of the rust and it will make the built up magnetic field to be stronger.
Take a closer look at the stator winding at each pole, look for hot spots in the insulation.
Check the...
Do as topgun3690 says.
Check compression, spark at all three cylinders with a spark tester.
The spark should jump 3/8 in or more in atmosphere.
Clean the carbs and set the float level if necessary.
Check and I would suggest you to change the fuel pump diaphragm.
They are cheap and they will go...
Check the gaskets at the exhaust cover, BUT be careful the bolts can snap really easy.
If they are hard to loosen penetrate with penetrating oil, heat them with a propane torch and tap them with a hammer.
Move them back and forth with small steps.
The Force power when I think about it that 120Hp power head I bought in a package was for a jet-drive and not a L-drive.
Maybe I am wrong about the 125Hp power head not fit to the L-drive drive shaft.
FYI guys
A few years ago I parted out a 120Hp L-drive power head that was blown.
It had the Mercury Thunderbolt ignition system (not CDM typ).
The funny thing with this one IT HAD AUTOMATIC OIL INJECTION.
The oil pump was driven from a gear that was integrated in the crank shaft.
The gear was...
Bad connections at the battery will cause the 12V to drop low and if the power to the ignition drops the ignition system would not work.
Newer ignition systems that are self energizing does not affect if the 12V drops but if the starter do not turn with good RPMs.
That is why it is important to...
As topgun3690 says use TC-W3 two stroke oil.
There are other two stroke oils for air cooled two strokers.
TC-W3 (two stroke water cooled) run at cooler temperatures and TC-W3 oil produce less smoke.
Two stroke oils for air cooled engines leave more carbon in the exhaust ports and it maybe build...
#Jiggz, no I am saying that the diagram you posted i #10 is wrong but the one you posted in #13 is right.
If he will troubleshooting he has to use the diagram for the Prestolite system and I imagine he will figure it out then.
The head of this thread says 1996 120Hp Force Mercury and as it is a...
Well the concept and thought was good BUT then the customer and boat owners was new to the boating, similar to Force outboard as a package with Bayliner boats.
Cheap stepp in boating and no know how in maintenance.
As I am from Sweden and Volvo Penta introduced the Aquamatic in/out drive in mid...
First check the compression in all cylinders.
If low or no compression in bottom cylinder you have a bad head gasket.
To pull the exhaust cover and check the gasket can be a PIA.
The bolts that holds the cover can snap really easy and you have to drill them out and retap the threads.
