    120 Force Starting Issues

    The slow turn sounds like low compression on one or more holes. Do the compression test with a different gauge. The results should be 145-155 depending on the cylinder and gauge. Your 4 cyl the top and bottom have different results. Came from the factory with a 10# difference between top/bottom...

    removing a ford 302 with penta 280 outdrive.

    Third place: the shift cable hose. Forth place: the rubber donut where the tail of the bell housing goes through the transom. If the hose is cocked a little it can let water in. My "guess" would be the Y-pipe seal.

    low compression 3.0 cobra (new)

    RUSTY PLUGS: the manifold and riser is probably leaking water into the motor??? Check the valve lash?? Compression: if all 4 are that close?? then the gauge is faulty or the procedure used is wrong or the valves are staying open too long??

    Filled my 89 OMC Cobra out-drive from the bottom - what next?

    It HAS to be filled from the side of the drive. If not there's an air passage that doesn't get oil when filled from the bottom. Turn the motor over and the drive is short about a pint of oil. Then the top gearset self destructs and you looking to buy a new none :( Try U-tube or get a manual...

    1990 Force L-Drive 90hp -- Can't get it to idle -- losing my mind :D

    The water sep filter is only good for water and bigger particles. You still need a fine particle filter installed between the pump and carb. Fram G-2 G-3 G-12 will work.

Then the air screw(top of the carb) slowly turn it in and remember the turns in(write it down) then remove. Take pics...
