    Tools required for lower unit reseal

    The only grease used inside the lower unit would be "Assembly Grease" It's used to hold the parts together until it's all back together. That grease melts and dissolves in the oil.

    Fuel pump 1988 force 125hp

    Nordin, looks like the diaphragm has a shiny spot and maybe good? Jose. If there's no hole in the diaphragm??? it's good. Spitting from the carb: First do a compression test, then do as Nordin suggested, remove the carbs and inspect the reeds. Does it backfire? Where are the air screws on the...

    Tach output from the motor

    1986 200 Mercury The wiring in the boat was a big ol pile of spaghetti!! I finally got all the wires back to where they were supposed to go( I think :) ) How do you check the motor to see if the signal to the tach is working? I turn the key and the digital readout (bottom face of the tach)comes...

    Tilt trim

    With some research I've found the style you have. Looks like it's from a 1996 Most reservoir styles will fit your pump base as long as the wiring works. Try outboard salvage yards, don't buy from anyone near salt water unless it's the only thing there is.

    New to me Force 120 ('92 I believe) and of course I have trim/tilt issues.

    Yup 92 The motors compression is right on. They designed it with the top and bottom cyl. to be lower than the 2 center holes. The T@T you could have one of 4 different systems??? Post a pic of the unit you have. That pic can help a LOT!! The link below is the equipment that could have come with...

    92 force 40hp wont start

    You using the primer? and fast idle? Is the primer working right? key on, have someone push in the key as you pull the hose(from primer to float bowl) off the primer and see if fuel squirts out. Put a rag under the area to catch the fuel.

    Tilt trim

    Post a pic of the unit. The aftermarket stuff is usually made in China and the quality just isn't there. Pics of the unit and the trim rod will help. There should be no leaks anywhere.

    1993 mercury force 90 hp not starting

    One backfire even a tiny one can blow the port cover gaskets and then the backfire can get worse and then it runs crappy until the gasket or gaskets are replaced. Where are the idle/air screws on the carbs set?? Should be about 1 1/8th turn out from lightly seated. Some won't operate at that...

    Volvo penta stern drive longevity

    The reason they don't want to work on them is they "DON'T KNOW HOW!!!" I started working on Volvo's in 1986. At that time there was a flyer going around that told of the dependability comparing the Volvo Mercruiser and OMC drives. They hooked 3 identical motors to their respective drives. They...

    Tilt trim

    There's absolutely nothing in the pump that you can work on :( The shuttle valve in the bottom of the pump is what needs work. The little red thing is the seal, it goes bad after time and bleads pressure off. Getting the pump back together??? I tried once :(

    Prop makes "clank" sound when shifting gears.

    You take the prop off? and then loose a part?? Missing a spacer?? Gear oil full?

    Force 70Hp 1991 gear problem

    pnwboat is right about the pin being broken, looks real short. Year/HP/Model??? Depending on the year? the pics should work?? The pic below, #7 and #8 7 rides on #8 and stay's in place with a bit of Assembly Grease. The grease melts/dissolves quickly and the gear oil lubes it after that.

Then the wires that hook direct to the battery, some have an inline fuse at the battery end. BUT!!! if you smelled smoke?? then you could have cooked the lead that supply's the...
