    Does this timing advance rod (1985 50HP) look factory? Should it be bent like this?

    Yes racerone you are quite right. That rod is home made, the factory rod has threads only in the ends. I think the picture give a miss showing of the rod being horisontal. A bend like that will flex, no doubt about it.

    Does this timing advance rod (1985 50HP) look factory? Should it be bent like this?

    Not 100% sure but I think the ball joint at the timing tower is mounted with a nut and in this case the ball is mounted up with the nut down. Think you can unscrew the nut and turn the ball joint 180 dgr so the ball will face down. Then the rod will be horizontal as jiggz and topgun says and...

    Force 85 1987 bayliner capri

    Okey check for power (12VDC) at the terminal at distributor where the white/black wire goes and then the positive terminal at the ignition coil. If no power at white/black wire at distributor terminal but power at positive terminal at coil, then you have a bad coil. Power at white/black wire but...

    Force 85 1987 bayliner capri

    If no power at blue wire but power at red wire you have a bad keyswitch. The gap at the spark plugs should be 0,025-0,028 in (0,7 mm). have you tried to check for spark at the ignition coil as I suggested in an earlier post? Put a HT wire in the coil output and hold the end about 1/4 in from the...

    Chrysler 105 no spark

    There should be a id tag in the bottom cowl with model number and serie number. From the look of the hood it is a 1971-73 year model. There is points in the distributor which trigger the CD box. Check the points, clean and regap them to 0,010 in. The ignition system is feed by the battery so it...

    1987 Force 125 shudder/bucking at fast idle/mid RPM

    Bubba, the OEM service manual do not mention any gap value. It says "Inspect reeds and reed stop for flatness and damage. Replace if needed". Check the surface and the pedals should rest to the surface with no gap that you can notice with your eyes. That is my suggestion.

    Throttle/Shift Cables

    No I do not think so. Check that the shift shaft makes it's all travel and that the throttle starts to move when the shift has moved almost it's all stroke before the throttle starts to move. The throttle connector have to have a pre load about 1/4 and the shift should be adjusted right one the...

    Throttle/Shift Cables

    Topgun3690, yes reuse your old end connectors if they are in good shape. They are N/A as I can se. Ebay have them but 20 dollar each....... to expensive for me.

    Force 85 1987 bayliner capri

    Check the grounding of the distributor, you have to have a wire from the distributor bracket down to the distributor housing. There are grease in the distributor swivel which insulate. Check for spark if you connect a spark plug right on the ignition coil. If you then get spark the distributor...

    0.25 Volts AC from stator. But ohms out ok. What to check?

    If you are handy you can build your own DVA adapter. Google DVA adapter and the schematics will show up. I have made a couple of DVA adapters myself. It is a diod, a capacitor and a resistor. Really simple to build and the DVA adapters purpose is to store the peak voltage from the stator in the...

    1991 Force 150 hp

    The 150Hp was manufactured from 1989 until 1994 and they had the 2 piece drive shaft. I am not 100% sure but in 1989 the 85Hp and the 125Hp had the 1 piece drive shaft. Pre 1989 they (85 and 125Hp) had 1 piece drive shaft. In 1990 the 85Hp was replaced by the 90Hp and the 125Hp by the 120Hp and...

    1991 Force 150 hp

    No there are no Mercury LU that will fit. 1 piece LU from Chrysler 3 and 4 cylinder and Force 3 and 4 cylinder will fit. As your 150Hp is a 1991 year model the LU has the 2 piece drive shaft but a LU with 1 piece drive shaft should fit too.

    CDI Electronics has a aftermarket CD box for the Motorola box. Part# 115-3301, but it is expensive, about 400 dollars. I suggest you to troubleshoot the ignition system first. Outboardignitiondotcom has the troubleshoot chart. The system is quit simple, CD box, distributor with points or a...

    1988 Force (US Marine Power) 125 HP - No Spark on all four cylinders.

    Yes you can use a regular digital VOM with the adapter. The adapter is just a single diod and a electrolyte capacitor and a resistor. The diod rectifier the AC voltage (cuts off the negative side) and charge the capacitor over the resistor. The output from the adapter is the voltage over the...

    1988 Force (US Marine Power) 125 HP - No Spark on all four cylinders.

    Outboardpartsdotcom has troubleshoot chart for this ignition system. As you have no spark at all it sounds like a bad stator cause it is chargning the capacitors in the CDI boxes. The resistance are in spec, but you have to check the output voltage from the stator. That is more important the the...

    Force 85 1987 bayliner capri

    Yes, will fit right on. These engines are the same, maybe some different (ignition parts). Your Force has the 1 piece LU unit and the Chrysler has the older 2 piece unit. They are not swapable but you can put the Chrysler power head to the Force midleg/LU Keep your Force as a spare for the...

    So I bought a boat........

    I do not know why the rectifier/regulator failed. As it is a combo, there is a rectifier inside and a regulator. The regulator is basically a zener diod that opens up (starts to lead) when reached the zener voltage and it is connected to ground and the rectifier is a single wave rectifier with a...

    Erratic Timing Light Reading on '96 Force 120

    If you are getting confused when switching coils and CDI packs around, have in mind that there is a blocking diod in each CDI pack that have the purpose to block the CDI to interfere with the other one. This diod can be bad and you can not replace it. It is in the CDI pack, only way to fix it is...
