    1996 Force 40 outboard

    The "idle" air screw is for running at idle, usually has no effect on running at high speeds. Set the screw at 1. 1/2 turns out. Then in the water, in gear, turn the screw in 1/8th turn then wait 10-12 seconds (that burns the fuel at the old setting) then again 1/8th turn until the motor smooths...

    got boat going

    It might need more???? Once you get it running, can of starting fluid, spray around the intake side of the motor, under the flywheel and around the carb/intake. If that makes any difference in the way it runs???then its sucking air. Lots of times one tiny cough, backfire or stutter can blow a...

    Force came about in the80's when Bayliner bought them. This is all Chrysler. If you can find a parts diagram??? they usually show the drive shaft housing and it usually includes the extension in the pics. The motor without the extension is15" add another 5" for the extension.

    Identifying Chrysler 45 hp Outboard year and Model Number

    Someplace on the block is a foundry stamp. The stamp could be round with the year in the middle of the stamp. Most times its on the stbd. side or possibly under the carb on the intake manifold.

    outboardignition.com has tests for your system. A stator or trigger even rectifier can look good but bad inside. A stator can test good and still be bad :(

    1989 ish Mercury Force 120 ignition issues

    The gaskets should be thick and stiff with a sealer already on them. The factory used no sealer just good gaskets. The mounting surfaces might need a mill job. Over time the heat causes them to round off and makes resealing tough. Usually when I do a rebuild and if there is no problem with...

    Fresh bore and 125 psi on one cylinder??

    125 isn't great. Maybe the gasket didn't seal right. At .040 over you might need to reject the carbs??? Remove the head, add a little gasket sealer around that hole then do the comp test again. If this makes the difference then the surfaces might need squareing off??

    Force 85 1987 bayliner capri

    Set the idle up. The towershaft , towards the bottom is a slotted screw and a 7/16 nut. Unhook the linkage. Loosen the nut and turn the screw in. This increases the rpms. It kinda sounds like it's sucking air???? Start the motor, can of starting fluid, spray the fluid around the intake side of...

    1989 ish Mercury Force 120 ignition issues

    Just buy the black and us solder to connect the cut off ends. I've seen NO difference in the Blue and Black When they started making the black they changed the connectors so you'd have to buy black coils.
