    Starts off good then eventually dies

    One tiny backfire or cough can ruin the diaphragm. Most likely the age is the problem?? Up to 10% Ethanol here :(

    Newbie here with a tilt and trim motor leaking fluid

    There shouldn't be any oil coming from between the motor and reservoir?? Unless it's been filled wrong? Over filling can push oil up into the electric motor?? They get filled when in the down position and use 30w oil. If they get filled when up, then you drop the motor down, the excess oil gets...

    Throttle issue

    No forward or reverse? Maybe the props hub has spun or the shear pin has broken and needs replaced? Always include the year and model # , makes it easier if I need to look up parts and diagrams.

    How fast is 85 force outboard

    The 17 ft. Bayliner with an 85 hp. with trim@tilt will do 40+mph, depending on load. Took one to the Annapolis in water boat show 1987/88? I was surprised how fast it was.

    Force 507X8B Shift Issues

    1989force outboard not firing on all cylinders

    No fire on #3 You can switch the packs and see if the no spark follows the change? The way the wirings set up you can't just swap the wires to the unused set. Now if the #2 wasn't firing then you could swap the packs. Try the tug test: the trigger wires are very thin and break easily and the...

    90 Force 90 HP....water pump?

    You guys are right 2 completely different motors and cooling systems. The older: most of the cooling water exit's through the snout on the bottom of the cavitation plate. The newer: water exits through the prop and a couple other places. IF??? the hose supplies a lot of water and it doesn't...

    Failed drive shaft

    How's he gonna get the or any tool into the lower unit to undo the pinion nut? The only tool that fits in there is a 7/8 wrench. Drill out the shaft and use a BIG easy out?? along with the 7/8 wrench. No way to get heat in there either.

    1989 85hp WOT only 4300rpm

    I seriously doubt you'd get 4300 if the motor was missing on one cyl. Things to look for: load in the boat, motor not trimmed up, wrong prop(what's on there?) what size boat. Try running with the cover off? Tank vent line clogged?

    Not the arm but the plastic connector on the arm and the ends of the cables.

    Finally Had To Retire It

    Been seeing lots of Yamaha broken plastic control arm connectors :( especially the ones for the oil pump. Wish they made them in metal.

    force 1996 120 xl shift shaft came up

    OOPS!! There's a small piece that's dropped down inside, called the shift control cam. It fits on the end of the shift shaft and pushes the cam follower to shift gears. Gotta take it apart and reassemble. Get a factory manual if possible, if not the Clymer or Seloc might have the info you need.

    Looks like the spaghetti monsters attacked your wiring!!! The two wires the blue and green: Blue is up, Green is down. The #1 in the pic is the switch for up/down yours is probably in your handle. https://cdn.boats.net/MTA/d/3/MTMxMTU3OA-3630140a.png
