    40hp shearing flywheel keys?

    Don't know where your finding your parts but every Force/Chrysler I've ever worked on had that nut with the nylon keeper in it. I guess you could double nut it after you've torqued it?? Shouldn't need Loctite on the taper if you have the right nut.

    40hp shearing flywheel keys?

    VERY!!!! IMPORTANT!!!!! The nylon in the Nyloc nut has expanded and won't hold like it should. You can try heating it up but you can also cook the top seal when you do. Good chance it won't ever hold again.

    Water in lower unit oil?

    It looks like a small amount of water's in there. Nordin, not all oils turn brown, his looks blue so I doubt it would turn brown. Like Racer suggested pressure test. Might help if you mention the year,model of the motor?? My twin 1988/85's all 4 would weep around the drain plug.

    40hp shearing flywheel keys?

    Get a NEW flywheel nut. In extreme cases you can use a BIG screwdriver placed in the bendix and the flywheel teeth to hold it in place.

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

    From my experience an outboard's just an outboard. If you can rebuild one then the job won't be so bad. Dismantle and do an inspection. Any doubt then replace the part. New pistons and rings. Wiseco is my choice. Good luck, keep us posted.

    1972 Chrysler 85, Tolletson carburetor tuning

    Possible the intake side's got bad gaskets on one or more port covers?? Set it where it runs and then take a can of starting fluid and spray around the intake side of the motor. That includes the bases of the carbs and the port covers and anywhere it might suck air?? If the spraying makes a...

    Force 70 hp questions.

    There's no gravity feed on any Chrysler/Force motor that has a fuel pump. The smaller 4.5-7hp some are gravity fed. You'll know them by the tank on top of the motor.

    Questions about trims

    I'd bet a new motor is in order. Take the plug off the reservoir and see what the oil looks like?? If it looks good then you might just need an electric motor and not the whole thing. You have a 2 part system: top is the electric motor, bottom is the pump and housing.

    1989 85hp removed lower gear pivot screw

    Your chances of that screw just sliding back in are slim to NONE!! You'll probably need to disassemble it and then it will go back in. When I started working on outboards back in 1986 I did that. But realized it wasn't a drain plug and put the screw right back in, didn't hurt anything but my...

    1994 mercury force 70hp

    There's "air screws" and there's an "idle screw". The air screw(ususlly on the top of the carb) is adjusted to make the motor run smooth.. While it's doing that it also mixes the air fuel ratio. The idle screw assembly is usually on the towershaft. U-tube Videos look for them, They can be...

    You do the starting fluid test?? Start motor, spray SF around the intake side of the motor,that includes the base of the carb and the 3 port covers, under the base of the intake, basically that whole side of the motor. If spraying makes the motor cough,stutter, backfire??? then it's sucking air...

    Force 70 hp questions.

    You won't see any amount of fuel. You should feel a click if you activate the key when you push it in. The primer only shoots a small amount of fuel when activated then it just sets there. The older style solenoid choke works as long as the keys held in. Where the primer has to be pushed in...
