    Does this timing advance rod (1985 50HP) look factory? Should it be bent like this?

    Your pic, at top is a black plastic connector. That's where timing is adjusted.

    Motor dies then won't start

    Test the overheat alarm? Possible getting hot? After starting, isolate the primer from the carb, pinch off the hose from primer to carb bowl, too much fuel can flood out the carbs??

    force 120/125 40 over pistons Jet size

    What block did you use? the 87 is a different bore than the 95 What carbs did you use? from the 87 or 95?? The 4 different carbs 2 top 2 bottom all used different jets?? To test: Get the motor running, run it at wide open for 5 minutes. Then reach over and turn the key off. Don't throttle back...

    Is this article true? I have had pretty good luck with Force motors.

    Rubbish. I have owned 4 85s 2 125s and 1 120 The mechanical end was very dependable. The oil used as a mix for the fuel was the DEATH of many 2 stroke motors. The ash(?) was a huge problem causing the rings to carbon and seize. Then they got smart and introduced TCW-3 and those problems...

    1987 Force 125 shudder/bucking at fast idle/mid RPM

    Supposed to be no gap BUT!! .008- .010 is acceptable. Their function is to stop the air from back feeding through the front of the carb. A tiny bit of opening is ok. The reeds aren't the problem. Bucking, kicking and coughing is more than likely the results of the motor sucking air somewhere...

    Throttle/Shift Cables

    Yes they will work. Just make sure the length is ok. You can make a longer cable work but one thats just a little too short= NO Look around for cheaper cables. I managed to find 4 22ft. cables for under $100. That was ebay. NEVER buy used.

    0.25 Volts AC from stator. But ohms out ok. What to check?

    You using a DVA or peak reading volt meter? NO, then you won't get the right readings. A stator can test good but still be bad.

    Best water separator

    The best is usually the most expensive. I'd buy one with the see through base. It has a drain to get water out.

    1987 Force 125 shudder/bucking at fast idle/mid RPM

    The older 87 doesn't have recirc hoses like the newer blocks have. The bottom of the block/front has a hose barb that goes to the plenum, it can clog and cause problems.

    88 125 force tilt trim not working

    Inital repair is the 2 seals bottom next to the shuttle. 99% of the time they have gone bad. Post #4 in this forum has a bunch of posts that cover this and more. The 2 posts below cover a lot with the shuttle valve repair and T@T fixes. I wouldn't replace/rebuild anything until the links below...

    Force 85 hp Help Disassembling lower end.

    Your gonna have to drop the lower unit, remove the front cover then reset the yoke on the end of the prop shaft use assembly grease, regular grease won't melt easily and can gum up the works. . Get a parts diagram and a service manual. Clymer and Seloc are the last choice in manuals.. Oh yea...
