    Compatible parts motor

    The distributor ignition system is the older set up from Chrysler engines mid 60:es. Chrysler started with dist. ignition system auto typ and then i late 60:es they improved the system with an electronic CD module triggered by the points. In mid 70:es they put an optical eye (preamp) instead of...

    89 force 125 leaking fuel from carbs

    Your issue is the inlet needles do not seal properly. The tiny hole in the brass plug is went holes for the carb and if the needle do not seal fuel will come out through the hole. I would suggest you to pull the carbs apart and clean them out very well with carb clean fluid and compressed air...

    Force 85 Control Operation

    Please pics of the remote control. I think there is a push button in the handel center. You push it in and in the same time you push the handel forward then you get only throttle movement for cold start. But it depend which remote control you have. My youngest son has a 1988 Force 85Hp and the...

    Float valve needle 1989. 85hp

    Some carbs do have the wire clip/spring attached to the needle and float and some does not. In the carbs with no wire clip the gravitation will handle the needle to open and the float to close. Two days ago I cleaned my youngest sons Chrysler 65Hp 1977. It has twin carbs and there are no wire...

    FUEL PUMP orafices: 3/8" vs 5/16" 1996 FORCE 75hp

    I always use 5/16 fuel lines as I am in Sweden it is metric 8 millimeter. The smaller OB use 1/4 fuel lines or 6 millimeter. You can use 5/16, it will be enough but if you want 3/8 you have to check that the clamp will tight and seal around the fitting. Be careful as the inlet cover fitting for...

    Tilt trim switch wiring

    Yes, the bowls need to be clean.... no gunk. Read through your thread and seams you have had to clean out the carbs more then one time. I would suggest you to clean out the whole fuel system, from the tank through the fuel line and fuel pump then in to the carbs. Put a clear inline fuel filter...

    Tips and advice for repairing outboard head gasket

    From the pics it do not look like it has overheat badly. The power head is not light brown in color, which it normally would be if it has overheat bad. I have never machined a head which has overheat. You can flat it by sanding with fine water sanding paper. Put the water sanding paper at a...

    Tips and advice for repairing outboard head gasket

    Check if there are any score in the cylinder walls? If, can you catch it with your finger nails? If no score put a new head gasket and impeller in. Torque the gasket to proper value in a circular patter starting from the middle left bolt and in CW. Do it in three steps of the torque values. If...

    120HP Force being smothered on exhaust fumes at idle

    I am not sure cause I have not worked with that late Force engines. The power head is a Chrysler/Force power ,head but the midleg and LU is Mercury I believe. BTW the thread is for a 1992 120 Hp and it has definitely the rubber boot.

    1988 Force 35hp backfired and wont run now

    Do as raceone suggest. Check the flywheel key, if it is sheared the flywheel has moved and the timing is off. Back fire and no start issue regardless of spark and fuel at the engine is a common issue if the key is sheared. If you have a 0 mark at the flywheel and a timing point plate at the...

    Hints for setting idle mix on 1989 Force 85hp

    Two strokers do not burn all fuel and specially at idle. Oil plugs from idling for long time is normal. The settings of the air/fuel mixture screws are from about 1-1,5 turn out from lightly seated. Sometime more then 1,5 turn is necessary. If you do not set them less then 1 turn out you are on...

    Check the rubber boot at the exhaust/water outlet at the back of the middleg cover. If it leaks exhaust will enter there.

    Stuck in reverse

    Both are possible, but check the coupler for the remote cable to the shift lever. If the stop nut has come loose the coupler might "thread off", I have had that issue at a 45Hp Chrysler but I think it was the throttle coupler. It was at least 10 years ago so do not remember in detail, now I...

    Help motor only running on primer!!

    Check the fuel pump diaphragm. BTW Why put a larger carb on if it runs good with the smaller? Maybe the size of the jetz do not match the engine. Does the 9,9Hp and 15Hp have the same displacement? A larger carb does not give any amazing benefits.

    Force not getting over 2500rpms WOT

    I do not know what pitch is recommended for the prop for a Bayliner 18ft. Maybe you need to go down one or two step of the pitch. If you have a 21 in go down to 19 or 17 in. Each inch will allow the RPM to rise about 200. As you says it will go 40 mph or more at WOT it sounds you might have a...
