    Carbs leaking fuel 1988 force 125hp

    Is the idle tube loose? No? then I wouldn't worry about it. The pic shows foam floats, they don't usually go bad unless someone has hit them with something that melts the foam. The position of the float when the carb is upside down should be level with the body of the carb. The drop (float)...

    '95 120hp compression test results

    14 just might be a record?? The exhaust cover wit all the 1/4-20 screws is were I break the most. That's why I NEVER remove the cover unless it's a complete rebuild. The heat and the cool down and then heat again tends to eat away the edges of the aluminum and then the gaskets don't want to...

    Yours does have a relief screw, on the bottom white screw. WD-40 or any penetrating spray, spray liberally. Turn to the left. I see a BIG problem, your boats growing black hair :)

    Carbs leaking fuel 1988 force 125hp

    They don't make them anymore, and the plastic is JUNK> Try Franz Marine or marine salvage yards. Ebay has carb sets but very expensive :(

    '95 120hp compression test results

    First!!! those numbers across the board are low. With a good gauge they should be 145-155 maybe even higher, even a new gauge(Harbor Freight Tools) can give bad results. I think they started in 95 the 120 came from the factory with the top and bottom cyl. lower by 10# than the 2 middle cyl...

    Lower shift rod came out of gear shift arm...re-assemble?

    Yup, disassemble the lower and screw it back in. Find a parts diagram and use that for a reference, take pics as you proceed. You might find using assembly grease will help hold the pieces together while you assemble.

    1992 Gamefisher Issues. Need help.

    The diaphragm in the pic is bad, it should be smooth and no swelling. Finding a new carb, nope. There's a used one on ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Tillotson-Quicksilver-1300-F712061-Marine-Carburetor-In-Box-A2153/203343014419?hash=item2f58302a13:g:JW4AAOSwe95gY0zO But you probably...

    Sputtering when at full throttle

    Helps to know what were working on? The carb can have 2 different needle/seat combo's. One needle can have a rubber tip and a solid seat, the other a solid tip and an o-ring in the seat. Some cleaners can hurt the rubber in the needle/seats and melt plastic if there's any used and can swell the...

    2000 Mercury (Tracker) 125 2+2 motor making gas slicks in idle

    There's supposed to be a recirculation system on all outboards made after the 70's Some might not work as good as they should. There are tiny hoses that can get clogged and the unburned fuel finds it's way out. Start it and look at the front of the carb and see if any fuel is coming out the...

    Engine shutting off and bulb without pressure.

    The squeezie: it has one job, it pulls fuel from the tank and feeds it to the pump and carbs. Once that's done it's job is done and once the motor starts the pressure goes away, Normal!! The valve in the squeezie is a one way valve, once pumped up it should let the pump draw through the valve.

    1989 Force 35hp fuel pump issue

    If possible post a pic with your request. This fuel pump should fit motors from 1980 to 1992 The smaller motors have a different pump style, so post a pic if possible and have a ruler next to the pump. I might have an old one??

    Force 70HP 1991 2 stroke Wiring Diagram

    They standardized the color code sometime in the late 70's or early 80's I found this by looking on Google and using the term "color code for marine wiring" This should get you close.

    VP 280 Pins and Helmet

    FYI there are two holes in the knuckle that have 1/4- 20 threads in them. Get 2 bolts (1/4-20x 2-3" Turn them in evenly and the knuckle lifts out as you turn them in.

    Is there any hope???

    The newer GM blocks will be harder to adapt your older parts. Before you spend?? do a real thorough inspection, heads, risers, manifolds etc. Looks like you have the small camera for looking into the tiny spaces. The Cobra was outdated the day they introduced it. :( The good thing is there are a...
