    Force 85 won't shift into forward but goes in reverse help!

    The air box under the carb is removed by 4- 5/16 screws. Then the 2 1/2" nuts are easily accessible, they are special nuts and don't come off easy. Not very often do you need to adjust this rod, but I think twice in 35 years I had to. Before you do this: try lubing the rod and maybe replace the...

    Float needle

    This shows the floats not adjusted right or the needle/seat is bad/ or the wrong one?? The needle/seat: they come 2 ways, one has the solid needle and the seat has a little tiny o-ring, the other has a solid seat with a rubber tipped needle. Inspect what you have. The seat on some carbs is...

    Look at "static timing" if you want to mess with the trigger?? but we need to know what ignition system you have?? But the trigger's probably not the problem. No spark: flywheel key, bad stator, bad pack, ? Post pics of the ignition system? you could have 3-4 different systems, one system even...

    Carb bowl leaking

    He'll still leak the fuel that's in the bowls. Don't know how the boat and motors setup, but leaving it tilted down would help. Some motors can be trailered with the motor in the down position???

    1990 Force L-Drive 90hp -- Can't get it to idle -- losing my mind :D

    The first thing is you shouldn't mess with the timing as it doesn't move like some cars do. You do the static timing? The factory reps ALWAYS set the timing using the static method. Unless you can run the boat at wide open and over 5000rpm's you just messed up the timing settings. The air...

    Will a 1977 135hp Chrysler outboard work as a parts motor for my 1974

    The block is probably the same, the ignition might be different, the lower unit like you said is different: I think in 77 they went to a one piece housing for the bigger motors. Post pics of both motors?

    Carb bowl leaking

    Gonna leak if it's tilted, NORMAL!! The thing to do is when done boating, before you pull it out of the water or after it's on the trailer unhook the fuel line and run the motor out of gas.

    Force 50 (1988) comes out of water in reverse

    Gear oil leak?? Sometimes the "leak" is just unburned gas/oil that leaks it way down from the carb??? Drain the oil, don't remove the slotted screw on the side of the nosecone, #29/30 #28/27 is the drain plug for the bottom drain and the vent/fill. The screw on the side is a locating pin for...
