    Need to adjust the dial 1990 Force carbs mixture

    Ok so the M in the picture has continuity with laynard attached. I should use the other 2 connectors right. Also I have ground without these kill switches connected so black and white wire at the dash disconnected. I have to check why I get ground and why the engine starts. The other engine also...

    Need to adjust the dial 1990 Force carbs mixture

    I took the boat to the lake and it wasn't pretty. I managed to adjust one of the engines idle and everything. The second one would not hold idle in gear. I have to mention I removed the kill switches on both on was not working at all. I bought 2 new ones and want to make sure I put them on...

    Need to adjust the dial 1990 Force carbs mixture

    Ok I just read the post again and noticed the adjustment is done in gear. I have not done that before. At idle when I turned the screw in I got almost to the end before noticing any stalling. But in gear it should be more obvious. I assume the 1 1/2 out and dialing it in to the stall position in...

    Need to adjust the dial 1990 Force carbs mixture

    Wow that's stupid. The only draw back that I rad about it in the reviews is the back light that is missing. Most are complaining about that. Didn't know about the battery.

    Need to adjust the dial 1990 Force carbs mixture

    Yeah I have seen that before thanks. Last time I tried to set this I had the issue with the trigger wires on cyl 1 of one of the 2 engines so I could not do it right. When I turned the screw out I did get the stalling but when I went the other way, I did not get the roughness until really close...

    Need to adjust the dial 1990 Force carbs mixture

    I want to take it to the lake this weekend and adjust the mixture and then the timing. I don't have the 90 book I do have the 92. So after adjusting all the components around the carbs, including timing at 28BTDC I have to adjust the carbs mixture and idle. Book says turn in all the way and turn...

    1990 Force 120HP #2 Cyl zero compression and upon opening piston shows damage

    So I did the cranking timing at 28BTDC. Is this ok as I read some go to 30BTDC to get a better idle? I could be wrong on what I remember reading but it did say most ignore the specs on the timing.

    1990 Force 120HP #2 Cyl zero compression and upon opening piston shows damage

    Weird I could not get any spark on any of the spark testers, so after fixing the trigger wires for number one I put it all back and it started. I get spark on number one also. It doesn't look strong on the cheap tester, really faint red light. Maybe the daylight is causing the spark to not be...

    1990 Force 120HP #2 Cyl zero compression and upon opening piston shows damage

    So now I have no spark on any of the leads. I fixed 2 wires that came from the trigger. I tested by taking off the two yellows and no spark. Also the black and yellow at the rectifier. I am teying to find the tests for the stator and trigger with DVA adapter for 1990 model 120HP. Also I removed...

    1990 Force 120HP #2 Cyl zero compression and upon opening piston shows damage

    So unplug #1 and use the #3 lead wire in #1 for spark. I bought the DVA adapter and the spark gap tester. So as far as the trigger testing are there specific wires? Thanks.

    1990 Force 120HP #2 Cyl zero compression and upon opening piston shows damage

    Wanted to add that I just changed the rectifyer with the same kind that being the rectangular one with nuts for connections. The old one had a broken lead from ground screw to ground post. The other motor has the square one with black and 2 red wires plus yellow and gray. I do have 2 spare...

    1990 Force 120HP #2 Cyl zero compression and upon opening piston shows damage

    Ok changed the filters and one prime bulb. One engine is great. The other has idle issues. So maybe it is a new problem or it might have been there but just didn't notice. I was having issues with the motor at idle and decided to check spark. #1 has No spark, # 3 does. It is not the coil I...
