    1989 85HP Fuel Pump

    Some times they added a booster spring to help deliver fuel? If it came with the spring? reuse it. I had a pair of 88/85's and a bunch of 125's 120's they all didn't have the spring, the only time I saw the spring was on a 150

    Lower unit seals replacement on 96 force 120

    Yes retest and if possible do a pressure and a vacuum test. Some test ok under pressure then when get hot they can suck in water as the temp goes up and down. Most times a pressure test and new seals can fix the problem and finding a vacuum pump can be expensive.

    1996 Force 120 overheat question

    The area next to the plugs runs the hottest. When checking temps??? check all over the head and sides where the water passages are.

    Balancing Tube

    Another thing: when adjusting the carbs the tube needs to be blocked off or pinched off for best results.

    Balancing Tube

    Called an equalizer tube. It equalizes the pressure/air flow between the carbs. Really doesn't do all that much but it makes it run different when not installed.

    Poppet valve

    No poppet on yours. They had one installed until 87/88 on the 85/125

    1996 Force 120 overheat question

    That kit would work. The best bet is buy products that say Mercury/Force on the package. China has made so much junk, you never know what your getting. Measure the temp next to the plug on the head and along the pistons travel or side of the cylinders. Hit a bunch of places and record the results.

    1996 Force 120 overheat question

    Most of the water/exhaust comes out the prop, you won't see it as you run. Get a temp gun under $20 that way you'll know what the temp really is.

    Water in lower unit

    The drain plug was the place I had most trouble with letting in water. But like Racerone said lots more places to leak. It always help if you tell what your working on???

    150 hp lower unit replacement

    Fix it. The leak's only gonna get worse. The numbers on top the case are for getting the right gear set. Someone was sharing a sheet with the gear sets and the way they were replaced. I had it but someone wanted it more than I did :( I think(memory sucks) that if it says 4 you order the set #4...

    1984 force 125 back fire now wont run?

    Backfiring is a sign of the motor sucking air. I can see in the pic why the comp is low. Normal comp is 145-160 Look at the gauge, it says Pittsburgh(harbor freight) cheap tools give faulty readings. The good news is all 4 are close to each other. Now back to the backfire: most outboards don't...

    1984 force 125 back fire now wont run?

    Compression test? all should be close to each other. Backfire: one backfire or cough even stutter can blow the port cover gaskets, causing the motor to suck air. Slow turning: bad connection on the battery or starter or cables? The starter can be bad/dirty. A new Chinese starter can be bad...

    1965 west bend 450 45hp turning over issues.

    Jumping the starter isn't the way to do it. Use the key. Hook the battery and cables up and see if that makes it work right.
