    Hydraulic cylinder rebuild

    "If there are pumps on Ebay and they are Chines made, do not buy them! Starters for Chrysler/Force and made in China are crap, but cheap." Trouble is just about anything new is built in China. If it's rebuildable??? Then use OEM or Factory parts from a Mercury dealer. Those parts are probably...

    Hydraulic cylinder rebuild

    Hey Lou, Great job and the pics are great too. He's working on a Force T@T . The parts kits might still be around somewhere(E-Bay last I saw). And YES!!!! loosen the caps while still on the transom bracket. I found an O-ring kit from Harbor Freight, it just happened to have the right O-rings I...

    Can't open cover on a US Marine Force 50

    Spraying can make it harder to start. IF?? the plugs didn't have rust on them when you took them out, the cylinders should be ok. You can spray through the front of the carb to lube the bearings. Just don't overdo the spray. Initial startup: make sure the cavitation plate is at least 4"-6"...

    1986 85hp force 856X6L no spark

    You said: As far as the twins issue it was my fault I should have changed all the wiring in the electrical system because vibration will break anything that's old. I've found that the wiring connectors on the trigger/stator should be replaced as soon as you can. Some connectors have a shrink...

    Can't open cover on a US Marine Force 50

    The 80's 50hp. One of the better runners from Force/Chrysler. This motor runs on one cylinder almost as good as 2. Use good oil and replace the impeller. You do a compression test?

    Under the front of the cowling on the bottom should be a lever that moves that opens the cowl. #16

    71/72 105hp Propeller Clearance Issue

    When they went to the one piece lower unit they also changed the props. You'll need to find the older style for it to fit.

    Any advice on a starting battery and rectifier/regulator for a 1990 Force 120HP

    What I used: twin batteries both the same size. Minimum 450cca. I used 650 or 800cca even 1000cca. The bigger the longer they last when the boat has lots of 12v accessories #4 or #2 wire with good copper connectors. Using a deep cycle battery on an outboard can potentially cause issues with...

    My flywheel came apart at the bottom where some metal blades are stacked together any idea why?

    Wow never saw that one. That part of the flywheel is what makes the spark happen when the magnets(tiny little brown strips)(color of the big magnetic strip)pass the trigger pickup. That spot can be damaged easily and then come apart when the motor spins. 2nd flywheel: do a good inspection and...

    1986 85hp force 856X6L no spark

    Using a deep cycle battery on an outboard can potentially cause issues with the charging system if not managed carefully, but it's not a guaranteed problem. Deep cycle batteries are designed for sustained power delivery, not the high current bursts needed for starting. Using them to start an...

    1986 85hp force 856X6L no spark

    From what I've learned over the years: The trolling/deep cycle batteries(even hooked up right) can cause damage to the charging system?? Now I'm not 100% convinced this is true??? But I've never used a deep cycle on any of my boats. I'd try to contact CDI and see if that story is true??? "TECH...

    Force 125

    Post pics of the lower unit, the drain and the side where the fill/vent screws are and the shifter you have. With those pics we can elaborate more and explain better the steps you need. The first 5 posts in this section have a lot of info pertaining to the Force outboards: look through them.

    Took the boat out and one of the twin Force 120s just quit the other was running on 3 cyls for 12 miles

    Testing a pack: http://www.outboardignition.com/ Troubleshooting the CD Module 1. DVA readings should always be taken with everything hooked up. 2. Check for broken wires and terminals, especially inside the terminals. 3. Check the flywheel for broken or loose magnets. 4. Disconnect the kill...
