    Force 125 lower unit issue

    The gear ratio was different on the early Chrysler/Force 85/125 Then in the early 90's they used the same gears on the 90/120/150 The drive will swap the performance on the 85 won't be as good as the 125 The rebuild on the newer lowers is fairly easy. They had a simple system to ID the housings...

    1990 Force 50 HP Bearing Cage Kit Replacement

    Looks like the shear pin or locating pin is missing. That pin holds the prop away from the housing. On the shaft is a 1/4" hole, turn the prop over there's a corresponding hole. Fit the prop and insert the pin in the hole and then tighten the nut and insert the cotter key. #s 9 /10/11/12 all...

    Hard to start and no idle

    Compression test???? You say you pump the fuel arm and it helps it start. That would only help if you were turning the key as you pumped. ?? Pushing the key in and out as you turn the key would do the same thing as these carbs don't have an accelerator pump like the older cars had. The primer...

    Chrysler 757HB. Heating problems (again!)

    Answer the rest of my questions. Pics of the drive? 6 or 12 really makes no difference. I think the 12 vane impeller is the older style. They push enough water to make up for the seal or no seal. Turned backwards: the hole at the bottom when backwards it blocks the water from going to the head...

    1981 Chrysler model 307h1d

    Something that old (40) you'll be very lucky to find anything that even comes close. Start looking for a Force 40-50 with T@T already installed. eBay might have something? then the wiring and hardware will be hard to find. Good luck.

    Exhaust snout

    To answer your question: NO It's needed to help steer the boat.. It also sends the exhaust into the water away from the prop wash. When set up right the snout helps keep the boat going straight and makes it easier to steer. The new prop: does it have the thrust hub on the housing side?

    89 model 120hp force from wot to start to bogging.

    That's not the result I was looking for, the motor shouldn't have died?? It should have smoothed out and run right?? Check the fuel pump diaphragm? Start the motor, spray starting fluid around the intake side of the motor. Make sure it gets spray under the packs/coils and the bases of the...

    Chrysler 757HB. Heating problems (again!)

    The cooling water gets to the head from the two holes in the bottom and top of the gasket. You have it in backwards? gasket? (had to ask) The holes in the sides of the gasket really don't allow water to get to the head. Now if the head has corresponding holes then it would get cooling water from...

    89 model 120hp force from wot to start to bogging.

    If your having trouble with idle? Good chance the port cover gaskets need replacing???? I never had to lengthen the idle screw. The primer has a diaphragm, possible when the rubber hoses went the diaphragm went too??? Once it's running, pinch off the hose to the carb from the primer.

    Force 507X8B Shift & Throttle cables

    The red cables are for Force/ Chrysler and Yamaha. The ones with the black barrel are Mercury and Mariner. Unfortunately they won't work on your motor. The older than 89/90 50's used a dash mounted kill switch.

    1986 85HP ignition problems (not firing in the right order)

    I'd do a compression test before doing anything else??? I believe the solid Green/ Orange is #1 The stripe leads are #2 I think.

    Where do you buy a gas tank pickup plate for a 50HP?

    The Force 50 usually came with it's own metal tank. Someone along the way changed to an OMC plastic tank. ANY tank will work.

    Force 125 hp 4 cyl dies at idle. Any ideas what I should check?

    It sparks enough to get it started, no prob with spark. If the comp was off it might not start or be really hard to start. The owner said; My engine starts and idles, but then it starts like coughing. That sounds like it's sucking air somewhere??? Do this: start motor/ idle/ then spray...

    Spark plug type

    The 85/90/120/125/150 all called for the gapless plugs. The factory used Champion and that's what I used for years. In fact some of my plugs were probably 8-10 years old. Then changed because I felt guilty. :)

    1991 Force 90hp starting problem

    Force is quieter. 10 gal for 35miles = 3.5 mpg. Thats really not that bad for such an old engine. The Force will probably get the same. You have to make sure the props the right one for both motors. Had 17p on twin 88/85s wanted more speed. Changed to 19p and got 2-3 mph more. I also got 15%...
