    1983 Chrysler Sea King 15 hp startup after rebuilding

    What did you do for the rebuild? Pull the head? The 15hp Chrysler and some older Forces didn't have a thermostat. So the temps should be lower than the 140d you say the block is??? First thing? how deep in the bucket is the lower unit when running? It needs to be 4" over the cavitation...

    Starter brushes

    They look OK!! The springs should all be the same length. If they vary in length, that usually means the starter has gotten hot and they need replacing. Is this the starter from your 78/85hp? It doesn't look like anything I've seen in the Chrysler/Forces???

    1994 Force Mercury 120hp No spark

    Your kill switch is probably located on the shifter. It usually has a cord/lanyard that can attach to the driver and if it gets disconnected the motor quits. Depending on the shifter the kill switch can be just a toggle switch that is connected with the cord/lanyard to the driver. Post a pic of...

    1993 Force 40

    The loading up after running could be the crank seal is bad? or the reeds aren't sealing?

    Carbs leaking fuel 1988 force 125hp

    Is it still leaking ?? Take a pic of the needles next to a ruler, post it. I might have them and can send them to you free. The backfire could be from too much fuel or the timing's off? Or it's sucking air from somewhere? Do the starting fluid test, start motor and spray SF around the intake...

    Carbs leaking fuel 1988 force 125hp

    Myself, I've never seen a water/gas logged float from the 125 The 85/90 had brass floats and every now and again they would spring a leak and cause problems.

    Power Trim Service? - Force 120HP 1999

    No service unless it's giving you trouble. The only service is keep the stainless ram/s coated in oil or grease. Inspect the seal where the ram exits the cap. IF??? it's cracking or lifting out then you need to change it. Make sure the spanner wrench used is the right size. It's probably gonna...

    Replacing stern/transom brackets

    Just don't hit the stainless bolt. You might end up cutting the brackets off with a Sawzall ?? Just be careful and don't cut too deep or get it too hot.. If you get it hot enough to melt the aluminum??? then you'll probably never get it apart.

    Replacing stern/transom brackets

    The corrosion is what's holding you up :( One trip in salt water, even fresh water the brackets are really hard to get apart.. Heat and PB Blaster or Krol or any good penetrating liquid. To much heat will melt the aluminum :( It's easier to buy the complete assy. and replace from there.

    Force 85 really difficult to start

    You said: "How to check the cdi and ignition coil?" The only way to check the coil is to swap it with another coil. Checking the CD or pack: IF NO FIRE ON ANY CYLINDER: 1. Disconnect the kill wire AT THE PACK. Check for broken or bare wires on the unit, stator and trigger. 2. Using the Fluke...

    Shift rod measurement

    Looked up the Johnson/Evinrude shift height measurements. I found the link but it goes to something about an older Chrysler ??? I found the right measurement.

    1994 Force Mercury 120hp No spark

    He said he replaced every electrical part so that leads me to believe he pulled the flywheel???. Kill switch replaced? Even a new stator can be bad??? outboardignitiondotcom has test procedures for your motor.

    Tuorqe on head bolts 2008 25hp Suzuki

    The motor was missing part of the gasket for the port intake and oil was dumping into the intake and fouling the plug. The original owner set this Gheenoe up real good. He was 84 when he got it 2008 Drove it for an hour and then had a stroke and never touched it until his family sold it to my...

    Tuorqe on head bolts 2008 25hp Suzuki

    The book I got(wrong one) did give tuorqe values on the bolts and didn't break it down like the other brands did. The tuorqe is 45#

    1992 Force 70 horse rebuild

    Good job!! Glad it's working!! The problem with the 70 is the one carb. It can starve the top cyl. and not get enough lube? If it was mine? I'd use a bit more oil . 50-1 is 1 gallon oil to 48 gal. gas. I'd run 1 to 45 gal. Not much more but it might make the motor last longer. Again: Good job!
