    91 Force 120 L-Drive w/ Merc Gearcase - Prop and Gearcase Separation

    Re: 91 Force 120 L-Drive w/ Merc Gearcase - Prop and Gearcase Separation More prop shots. This is the way a Force prop should fit into the housing. No rubbing and no gaps. Force props are available.The Mercury props just won't fit right.

    91 Force 120 L-Drive w/ Merc Gearcase - Prop and Gearcase Separation

    Re: 91 Force 120 L-Drive w/ Merc Gearcase - Prop and Gearcase Separation What do you mean hard?? It shouldn't rub anywhere. That's still a Mercury prop.Compare the ones in the photo. The one you have on will probably work just not as good as the factory. What happened to your old one? Will...

    Idle

    Re: Idle See pic.Idle is adjusted with #4/5 If you adjusted the cam?? Do the linc and sinc.First or second post in the Force section. That sets up the linkage for proper operation. The set up is pretty easy. If the roller and mark on the cam don't line up the high idle won't work right. Tying...

    Force 50HP and NO one can tell me whats wrong

    Re: Force 50HP and NO one can tell me whats wrong If the starter is new? I'd still try to take it apart.It's possible the magnets came loose or just from trying to start the brushes go bad. The armature could get shorted out. The compression since it's low on both cylinders, it shouldn't be...

    Re: Eureka! But now I need help finding a part number and source for this carb part. (Eccentric does not mean bent. It means deviating from circular, or being elliptical. The axis of the threaded shaft should be parallel to the axis of the roller shaft.) Clearly made that way!!! One more...
