    Force 85 hp Help Disassembling lower end.

    If the pin was removed and someone tried shifting ?? It might have gone into gear, maybe not but that's all that they'd get. So YES he probably knew the pin was misssing.

    Try connecting the kill leads together? Some times the points need filed down, sanding might not be enough.

    So I bought a boat........

    You sure there's not another wire in the battery area? Lots of boats have a power lead for the accessories. One guy calls and says he needs to get his boat rewired as the previous owner messed up the wiring. The PO had added about 200 foot of wiring trying to get power to the radio/depth finder...

    85 Force delayed stall at WOT

    After the compression test, check the overheat alarm? Key on, ground the orange lead at the buds bar, the alarm should sound off. Then check the tank vent for a clog, bugs get in the hose and can cut off the air starving the motor.

    Force 85 hp Help Disassembling lower end.

    The year is probably right. Get a parts diagram. Called drive shaft and prop shaft. The carrier on prop shaft should just pull out. The drive shaft won't come out until the pinion gear/nut is removed. Why take it apart???

    If it dies with starting fluid, your sucking air, probably around carb base

    Does the boat have a tachometer? You using the choke in the water? Sometimes it's necessary to use or not use the choke. One of my motors 1988/85 Didn't want to start unless the motor was tilted all the way up????? You need to experiment to see what works for you? Idle in a bucket, about1200...

    1996 Force 40 outboard

    The "idle" air screw is for running at idle, usually has no effect on running at high speeds. Set the screw at 1. 1/2 turns out. Then in the water, in gear, turn the screw in 1/8th turn then wait 10-12 seconds (that burns the fuel at the old setting) then again 1/8th turn until the motor smooths...
