    Is this a L drive or not?

    What happened to my other post??? My 1st reply disappeared?? Censorship? That motor is a Force adapted to a through hull application. NOT a good idea at all. Thay got the nickname Hell Drive. Hard to work on, harder to locate parts and expensive. The motor itself is the same dependable one...

    Can I use any 2 stroke oil?

    The "other" oil is way different than TCW3 The other oil can cause the rings to seize from carbon deposits. TCW3 doesn't have the ash that causes carbon on the rings

    1988/125

    My twin Force 88/85hp. ran best at 44-4600rpm. 3.2 mpg Past that it was faster but the economy suffered. I found the right prop and load along with trim position makes all the difference.

    Bad trigger? Can’t adjust timing

    I'd bet it's sucking air someplace?? Get it running, can of starting fluid, spray the SF around the intake side of the motor, this includes under the packs and the base of thew carbs and the 4 port covers. If? this makes any difference in the way it runs?? then it's sucking air

    1990 Force 120HP #2 Cyl zero compression and upon opening piston shows damage

    No rubber on the seats, the rubber on the needle takes the place of the seat. The pics show 3 needles. One has a groove around it. I would change that. The black tip looks like it needs replacing too? Try to replace the whole thing if you can remove them without destroying it.

Needle/seat: inspect the needle, rubber tip, pointy no grooves. Solid needle: look into the seat, should be a...

    1990 Force 120HP #2 Cyl zero compression and upon opening piston shows damage

    Squeezie: it's only job is to draw fuel from the tank, you squeeze it till it gets firm, job done. Then when the motor starts it should loose the firmness. Then it just sets there. Oh yea it's supposed to stop the fuel from going back into the tank. The one way valve stops the fuel from...
