    1978 Chrysler 85HP Powerhead Swap

    The air screw, remove it and spray carb cleaner in the hole. That should clean any crud from the hidden passages. Make sure the needle(rubber tip) is good, the rubber tip not deformed. The solid needle: the seat, make sure it's not falling apart(magnifying glass)

    1978 Chrysler 85HP Powerhead Swap

    Don't break it down any further. Just asking for trouble. How much crud was in the bowl when it was removed?? Lots?? then the welch plugs need removing and the passage needs cleaning. Very little?? then a spray can of cleaner with the straw can clean it.

    Help with FORCE 125XT

    Look on ebay for the shifter. Pretty much any Chrysler/Force shifter will work unless it's the Mercury shifter1995 Make sure the T@T is in the handle. Before 87 the T@T was on the dash.

    Nothing set at WOT, too dangerous. Use the static timing and set at 28 for 30d

    Help with FORCE 125XT

    The kill switch is in the shifter, you look inside yet? Probably just rehook the wires??? That black plastic thing on the prop, it's designed for a different style(older) prop. Look up a parts diagram for a 1988 85/125 lower unit and see what's needed for the prop.

    1990 Force 120 2 stroke loss of power high rpm

    Pick up a can of cold soda pop after it's been set out for a bit. Moisture/condensation forms. When the carb is drawing air into the carb and past the reeds that cools the metal and condensation forms. (I did find a leak where the fuel line connects to fuel pump. Pulled off..cut line and was...

    force 120 hi reving issue

    Exhaust plate leak, at the top, bottom or middle? Bottom: worst place for leaks as the 1/4-20 screws are usually rusted and break just looking at them. Middle: screws not as bad but still fairly easy to twist off. Top: a lot like the bottom, usually seized. If it was me? Unless the water gets...

    1980 Chrysler Sea King 15 Overheating/Waterpump Concerns

    The plastic grommet if it's not sealing against the motor could cause the problem?? That crack isn't big enough to worry about. I'd get a heat gun and take the temp on different parts of the head. You have a good pump and it shows that it's pumping real good out the back, then I'd look at the...

    force 120 hi reving issue

    The low compression is probably the gauge or the way it was taken. The 95/120 was designed to have lower comp on #1 and 4 and higher on 2/3 There is NO idle adjustment on either carb. Those are air/fuel mix screws to set the mix at idle. The idle is adjusted at the bottom of the towershaft...

    1990 Force 120 2 stroke loss of power high rpm

    Leave the white alone, it covers a jet, nothing in there to mess with. It ALWAYS help if you tell us what we're working on. Year? HP? I see twin carbs so it's a 4cyl. 125 or 120?? The pic of the fuel pump and you say there's a crack?? Kinda blurry. IF?? there is a crack?? it could be sucking air...

    1980 Chrysler Sea King 15 Overheating/Waterpump Concerns

    The pic of the mid section, it shows where the water tube comes up from the lower unit, is/was there a grommet or anything where the tube meets the top into the powerhead? There should be some kind of seal to stop the water from shooting out the edges? where the tube meets the head. When the two...

    1978 Chrysler 85HP Powerhead Swap

    What the heck is a "valve seat" ?? Maybe the needle/seat? Most that I've seen the seat isn't removable?? If it is it will have a slot across the top like a screwdriver slot. Seat repair: sometimes with a solid needle there's a teeeeny tiiiiny o-ring in the bottom of the seat??? Or the needle...

    1978 Chrysler 85HP Powerhead Swap

    It takes a lot to warp one of these heads so bad it won't work. Piece of glass on a flat surface, then use a feeler gauge to see how much clearance is on the head, measure in a lot of places.

    Water in Fuel Starting Issues

    You might be able to get some water out by running, but?? are you sure? I'd remove the sending unit and pump out everything. Then make sure the tank is dry. NO VACUUMS= BOOM
