    1996 FORCE 75hp idle issue (especially when F to R)

    The only time the bulb stays firm is when you pump it up before starting. Once it's started, the ball just sets there and fuel flows through the one way valve. IF?? it's hard then? it just might be old and stiff??

    Failed drive shaft

    Some of the bearing carriers only had 1 seal in the carrier. The other seal could be for the drive shaft/water pump seal?? If yours had 2 then start going through the parts diagrams looking for the carrier with the 2 seals.

    1990 Force....couple issues

    The choke solenoid, a shot of carb cleaner as you manually move the slide. Then a shot of WD-40 to keep it lubed and check the operation as the butterflies need to close completely to work right. The grey hoses are junk, they have a liner that breaks loose and can bunch up and block the lines...

    94 force 40hp no spark

    Kill switch hooked up? Two different kill lanyards were used. Pics of the shifter/ control showing the key switch. Even a new stator/ pack can be bad?? outboardigniton.com has test procedures for your motor. Your ignition components are 99% Mercury.

    Force 507X8B Shift Issues

    Seloc SUCKS!! and it's almost better than nothing, almost. Most of the exhaust and water comes from the snout and the holes in the back are for excess. Get the right muffs(see pics) and then you'll see the snout working. The other muffs don't seal right. Install a pee tube. Top of the head...

    Tilt trim switch wiring

    That diagram is for a later model and has no T@T ??? The switch needed is a 3 position spring loaded on/off/on One on is for up, the middle is for hot, the 3rd is for down. On the motor the up is Blue and down is green. Does the 85 have T@T solenoids/relays?

    Force 50 Water coming out of spark plugs (pics)

    What's the compression? How'd you take it? The red stuff is silicone that's cooked and oozed out the edges, just pry it off. Once the screws(might be as many as 12) are out the cover should come off. Water from the plug holes: bad head gasket, cracked block. The pistons look bad but if the edges...

    When you pull to the right, your supposed to turn the fin to the right. When you put the boat in the water, everybody out of the boat see if it sets level in the water. Some cases they load up the twin batteries they end up on the drivers side and this can cause problems.

    I use a small tester. Do the starting fluid test, this can solve a lot with very little work.

    Replacing force motor with newer Mercury- questions

    You can have a Mercury lower and still have the Force shifter. Look up the difference between the 3 and 6 jaw gear cases?? I hope this prints?? https://www.boats.net/catalog/mercury/outboard-by-year/force-outboard/1996/0e138600-thru-0e202999-usa-120hp/gear-housing-identification Or just take...

    Replacing force motor with newer Mercury- questions

    Pontoon, probably won't notice much difference. The shifter might or might not work? That depends on the shift linkage. Your lower unit is it a 3 or 6 jaw reverse?? As I understand it, the 3 jaw is set up for the older Force shift and the 6 is for the Mercury linkage.

    89 Force 125 won’t rev and bucks

    Spark check each cylinder as you drive in the water. Can be hard to do but it sounds like your dropping a cylinder or the exhaust is leaking into the hood?? Hoosier mentioned the trigger wires. The 89 125 trigger, the wires are real thin and break easily under the shrink wrap at the connector...

    Chy 140

    Try eBay ?? Just looked and they have a few listed. The chances of you breaking the 2 screws holding the seal in place is really good. Be real careful. Or, just build up the seal with a bit of silicone(make your own seal) don't need a lot. The pump housing isn't real bad. If yu want to fill in...

    Startup sneeze-1988 125hp

    Once it gets running, try the starter fluid test. Spray starting fluid around the intake side. If it makes any difference in the way it runs, then it's sucking air and that might be causing the sneeze?
