    1997 Force 90hp Stiff steering

    Sometimes the kingpin area needs a couple of hours of heat and add more grease. Thin grease like White Lithium While the bushing will melt and seize it takes a lot of heat to do that. In some cases the mid section needs a couple of zerks added to the top and bottom. The zerks in there already...

    Force 85 HP tilt/trim model no.

    That's because they're CHEAP. I found using a propane torch helps when taking apart.

    The above pic shows the float bowl #5. The bottom of the bowl is a hose barb, after it gets started pinch off the hose and see if that makes a difference??

    50 hp force no speed

    They will actually run fairly good on one cyl. My neighbor had a 15hp Mercury, complained it didn't run as good as it should. Took the cover off and found the bottom spark plug lead laying in the bottom of the cowl. He said he'd checked everything and couldn't find anything. Held the boat for 3...

    87 Force 125 tilt/trim

    What color is your motor? The white stopped in 86. the 87 was blue. The 87 should have the relays under the hood, unless it was ordered without T@T. I never saw a 1987/125+ without T@T However some 85's came without it. The older 1986 and past had the switch on the dash with #10 wires that...

    1990 Force 120HP trim and tilt not keeping motor up no leaks

    The dog looks fine. The following is from memory, that might not be completely correct. The 1990 lower unit. On top of the gear housing is some letters, this denotes the gear set needed to rebuild the lower. I think there can be 4-5 different sets, A-D I don't think any special tools are needed...

    Pulses per Rev

    You don't have to worry so much about pulses on an outboard. The stators can come with 6 to 20 poles. Take off the flywheel and count the lugs. The Forces usually had 20 poles. The dial on the back usually reads 1 thru 4 (cylinders) Set yours at 2 cyl. and the poles take care of themselves.

    Tilt/trim issue

    The filling needs to be done when the motors all the way down. 30w oil. If it lifts and then drifts down you need to read the first 5 posts in this forum One of them has a lot of info on the T@T system. Hint: there's nothing in the hyd.pump that you can fix. The shuttle valves are the only thing...

    1998 mercury force 40hp water in bottom cyliner.

    Had a 1988 85hp and it kept getting water in the bottom cyl. The comp was 145 all three. It had a pin hole in the sealing ring. Replaced the gasket, that did the trick. Be careful when removing the bolts. They can get stuck and break off and become a major job. Use a torch and a hammer and if...

    1990 Force 120HP trim and tilt not keeping motor up no leaks

    The shock does nothing about keeping it up. All it does is give it some resistance when going down and no bouncing around. The drifting down is due to the seals in the bottom of the pump. The 4-5 posts in the first part of this forum(#4) covers the T@T and can lead to where to buy the seals...
