    Force 50 turns over but wont run

    Start with checking compression and then for spark. If the compression is good (130-150 PSI) and close even with the cylinders and you have good strong spark at both cylinders, then clean the carb and check the water impeller pump.

    Force 85 1987 bayliner capri

    The crack is in the casting and the sleeve maybe able to move. As jerryjerry says, no way to repair that issue. That is my opinion too.

    Identifying Chrysler 45 hp Outboard year and Model Number

    Can not se in the pics if the ball joints are there. They should be at the same side as the fuel pump and close to the pump. There are some videos at Youtube by mweverett how to adjust and set up the remote control. Search "remote control Chrysler outboard" at Youtube and they should show up.

    Identifying Chrysler 45 hp Outboard year and Model Number

    You will need Morse, Teleflex 33C or equal remote cables, they will fit. In the remote control box you just thread the ends in to the connectors but at the engine you will need the special connectors for Chrysler/Force engines. One is shorter and is for the shifter. You slide the collar back and...

    1996 Force 40 outboard

    You can do the static both ways. I do it with the plugs in, if you do it with the plugs out you have to ground all plugs cause you can damage the CD box (switch box). Okey you run 87 octane. I am in Sweden and the lowest octane we have is 95. I would suggest you to retard the timing to 28-30 dgr...

    1996 Force 40 outboard

    You never set the timing on these engines at idle. You set it at WOT and it should be about 30 dgr BTDC. The setting depends what fuel you are using. It is better to retard it some degrees then advance it. I usually set the timing to 28 dgr static (throttle at WOT and turning the engine over...

    87 Force 85 Cylinder Scoreing from Overheating

    Do as jiggz suggest and if you can catch the score with your nails you have to rebore the cylinder. There are no problem to put a OD piston in one or two cylinder. No balancing is needed.

    Identifying Chrysler 45 hp Outboard year and Model Number

    If the hood is the right one the engine is from 1971-73. It is a Chrysler engine, after Chrysler sold out the OB manufacturing and US Marine took over they named it Force. But all models were basically Chrysler engines with another name.

    Identifying Chrysler 45 hp Outboard year and Model Number

    Your engine is a 45Hp with battery ignition and alternator. The magneto model did not have alternator because the ignition coils are mounted under the flywheel. Looks like the year is about 1970 until 1973 but a pic of the hood with the decals would be great. It also has the old style fuel pump...

    1970 Chrysler 85hp Outboard

    When shuts down check if you have a spark issue or fuel issue. Put an inline fuel filter after the pump and before the carbs. This will help you to see if it is a electrical issue or fuel issue.

    1989 ish Mercury Force 120 ignition issues

    When I rebuild or do anything with an OB that has to seal or reseal something I use Permatex Aviation no 3 form a gasket. My experience is that it is useful at the engine block or at the LU. It is easy to use and apply cause there is a brush built in the cap.

    1989 ish Mercury Force 120 ignition issues

    There are no way to check the CD boxes, they can dump voltage to the coil as your are doing but if the blocking diod is bad it interfere the other CD box and you got issues like you have. The blocking diod is in the CD box, almost impossible to change. The purpose of the diod is as I said before...

    Sat for 30years

    James Rider, no my mistake about the curved line at the pulley, I must have thought about something else, sorry. At WOT it would not align but the spark at top plug at WOT should come at 30 dgr BTDC.

    Correct timing is when top piston is at TDC, then the curved line at the distributor pulley should line up against the flywheel rim and if you have an arrow at the pulley it should be pointing to the flywheel rim perpendicular. This is the basic setting. Then you set the spark advance at WOT...

    Fuses in Tilt Wiring

    Add a fuse to both of the positive wires from the relays to the motor. Put it in line if that is easiest way to do. You can check have much current the motor need when running and put a fuse that has just a little bit more current value. Have in mind that there will be a current peak in the...
