    1994 Force 120 Thunderbolt ignition Tachometer hook up.

    The Mercury ignition system doesn't use a 20 pole, that was for the older Prestolite ignition. Needs a 12p Mercury tach(I think)

    Water pump disaster on 4hp Force

    Idle down: choke needed?? Remote tank?? Check the fuel pump diaphragm, then do a starting fluid test, start motor, spray SF around the intake side and see if that makes a difference in the way it runs? If it makes a difference? then it's sucking air somewhere.

    Tilt & Trim - how to release pressure

    No pressure release. Undo the front hyd. line. There might be a lot of pressure when you undo the line. You'll probably need to remove the line to be able to lift the motor. Block it up, then tie it up using a rope . VERY DANGEROUS!!!!!

    1990 Force 90 HP isn’t getting gas to spark plugs

    You holding the key in as you turn it over? The key needs to be held in, not just pushed and released. You have the old style choke or the newer primer system? What's the compression?? Spark on all 4?

    CHRYSLER 105 HP

    Having trouble turning it over: low compression on one or more cyl, the gears in lower rusted, timing way off, bad/weak battery, bad battery cable, bad connection???? First thing I'd do is a compression test. IF??? the compression is good?(all 4 within 5-10# of each other).Then get a factory...

    1991 Force 90hp starting problem

    In the Force forum: look for these posts. Should be in the first posts in this forum. Remember there's NOTHING inside the pump that you can fix!!! Don't try to adjust or look inside the pump, chances are you'll be replacing the pump. The valves for up and down need replacing, see directions...

    Missing kickstand on a Force 120

    Found out the hard way: Use the trailering bracket and tie the motor down on the bracket. Make sure the cotter pin won't come out and allow the motor to bounce up and down as you travel. Can blow the seals. The bounce can blow the seals(already old) and you'll be replacing them. Start looking...

    Struggling to install lower unit....Force 90Hp

    IF??? both are in gear(shifter/lower unit) then as you raise the lower reach down and lift up on the prop ear with your right hand and continue lifting when the splines mesh. Before you try that: try spinning the prop while it's off, if it doesn't turn then you need to figure out why???

    Trim@Tilt locked in the up position.2005 150 2stroke

    The motor turns but no movement up or down. The oil's full. The release is locked in place, won't turn. Any ideas? Any rebuild places cheaper than 5 Star? Easiest way to remove the unit? Thanks

    125 force shift rod replacement

    How in the world did you break that??? Never saw one out ,yet a broken one??? To remove: under the bottom carb is pressed nut (that's a special locking nut #64) on top of the rod. The lower unit needs to be off. After the nut and lower removal it should come out the bottom.

    Don't remove the tube. That description of the tube is normal. Just make sure it's clear.

    Missing kickstand on a Force 120

    Ebay has them. "force trailering bracket" Ebay used to be a good inexpensive place to buy. NOT!! Everybody wants to get rich. :( To work on the T@T block it up with a 4ft.(?) 2X4 Then be very careful it doesn't get moved and you loose a hand or two?? There's a few posts on this forum on T@T...

    Doing some research on adding tilt trim

    Why do you want to remove the kingpin? If you add a T@T you won't need to remove it. The T@T you need is from the older motors. Good luck finding anything to change it over. Best bet is find one with T@T already installed.

    Don't worry about a leakdown, just do a compression test.

    70s Chrysler 16hp outboard funny runner

    Sounds like it's sucking air somewhere? Do the starting fluid test: start the motor, spray SF around the intake side, if spraying makes a difference? then it's sucking air somewhere. Possible the fuel pumps diaphragm needs eplaced? Excess smoke: the motors been setting and the gas/oil that's...

    WATER PUMP LINER

    No liner for the pump. They came bare pot metal. The pot metal can be in really bad shape and still work.
