    Undo the shift cable and shift by hand and see if it works better? Possible bad shift cable or the shift shaft is corroded/corrosion and locks in place.

    what motors are compatible with the 88 125 force?

    If the starters still on??? do a compression test. Jumper cables probably won't supply enough amperage to do a good test, hook to a battery. On the block under the ignition components is a foundry stamp with the year marked in the center. The white is 1986 and older. Blac/blue is 97 and up. The...

    1986 85hp force 856X6L no spark

    The whole trigger doesn't usually go bad. Try swapping the packs around? Check the flywheel key to see if it's sheared.

    1986 85hp force 856X6L no spark

    No spark all cylinders? Usually both packs don't go bad. More likely the stator is bad. Even new stator can be bad. You have a kill switch? Test that.

    I'm stumped, please help. 1996 40HP force outboard

    IF??? you have spark on both leads and it's nice and bright/sharp. Then something else is the problem. Recheck the fuel pump. Recheck the throat of the carb for obstructions(foam possibly).

    Reeds?

    Bad reeds: you can have blowby coming from the front of the carb or carbs. Snake camera. I bought a small flexible "snake" cam for my Android phone,,11$ on Ebay. The "snake" part is skinny enough to get by the flaps in the carbs so you can see the reeds.

    Sneezing from underneath flywheel

    You sure it's coming from under the flywheel? Looks like it might be from the top port cover and not the flywheel???? On the top carb: where's the air screw set at? Under the pack(never saw one that looks like that) the top port cover(1 of 3) might have a blown gasket?? The gasket is thin and...

    Tillotson TC-5E float needle valve

    If it's running but running bad?? do the starting fluid test. Start and run at idle, spray SF around the intake side of the motor. Spray under the base of the carbs and under the pack/coils and around the 4 port covers, anywhere it might draw air into the motor. IF??? it makes the motor run/...

    Tillotson TC-5E float needle valve

    Years ago the factory service dept. issued a service bulletin. They suggested/said "set the air screws out at 1 turn and leave it there" I've never found that that would work. I had 4 1988 85hp and all liked the 1 and 1/8th turn out.
