    1998 force 120

    First thing, try a different gauge??? Does it have compression when you remove the plugs and cover the hole with your finger as you turn it over. You using the starter to turn it? or by hand? turning by hand won't do much for a comp test. No comp n ANY hole doesn't sound right??? Reed valves...

    1993 40hp force Loose Wire.

    Usually a motor with electric start and charging capability's has a warning horn. That part that's circled is called the thermoswitch. The switch hooks into the wiring harness and then that connects to a buzzer. Try grounding the wire/sender to the block(key on) the buzzer should sound off????

    Timing Question

    An outboard tied to a dock and then trying to get wide open throttle?? Doesn't work unless you have the test wheel replacing the prop. That's why the factory suggests static timing.

    Force 70hp, starter went out replaced still wont start

    You have a primer instead of the old choke system. To use the primer: you turn the key and as you turn you push the key in 1 time and let it come back out. The old choke system: turn the key and push in as you turn, this closes the choke butterflies and that draws extra fuel into the cylinders...

    Stalling mystery

    I had a 18gal. tank installed under the front seat, along with the 100 gal. built in, it had 10+ ft. of 1/4" hose and it ran twin 85hp. motors, your 5/16" hose is more than enough to supply fuel. The first thing I'd do is check/remove all the inline hose connectors, then check the tank vent and...

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

    Not everything is cut and dried and easy to understand and put into use. In some cases??? there can be 2-3 things set wrong and the idle won't come down unless they all get set right. Throttle linkage, air screws, air leaks, timing set wrong, butterfly's, etc. ???

    1976 Chrysler 105 running rough immediately after adjusting carbs on the water.

    First thing you do when trouble shooting an outboard is a compression test. Compression can change. Also check the fuel for water, then pull the fuel pump apart and check the diaphragm for holes or tears?? ONE!!!! backfire or cough or stutter can blow a hole in the diaphragm. If it's bad? get 2...
