    1962 5hp sea king water pump

    Yes I think it will fit. But as this engine is a OMC engine move this thread to the Johnson/Evinrude forum. You will get better answers there.

    125hp lower unit change

    A dual exhaust LU will fit and work if it is a Force LU. Later in 1995-96 they changed LU to a Mercury style.. 85Hp was built until 1989 and in 1990 it became 90 Hp with larger displacement. I think the 90Hp had 2 piece drive shaft, the 85Hp did not. Maybe jerryjerry can confirm if that is right.

    1996 force 120 no spark top cylinder

    Look at outboardignitiondotcom, they have troubleshooting chart for the ignition system. I suppose you have the Mercury Thunderbolt ignition system as it is a 1996.

    1970 Evinrude 18hp Trottle issue

    Frustratedboater you need to change the range to a higher scale than your lowest 400 Ohm. The secondary winding has a higher resistance than 400 Ohm! At least 10-15 or 20 times higher than 400 Ohm.

    Chrysler 75hp, need direction.

    Set air/fuel mixture screws 1 1/4-1,5 turn out from seated. Start the engine and warm it up. Follow Frank A.s link and sync at top of this site. Check and adjust the throttle pick up point adjustment as Frank A. Dial in the carbs air/fuel mixture screw and set the idle RPM to about 1200 if you...

    Chrysler 75hp, need direction.

    Yes, firing order correct. You says it would not start unless in neutral and throttle all way forward. If I do not missunderstand you it sounds right if the idle screw at timing tower is not adjusted right. Maybe the throttle butterflies not open up at all when you throttle all way back. The...

    Chrysler 75hp, need direction.

    The gap at the timing rod block at my 1975 75Hp Chrysler is about 3/8 in (9,5 mm metric) at 30 dgr BTDC.

    1988 50 hp force no spark?

    Yes, then you have a short cut in the stator if it show zero Ohm.

    1988 50 hp force no spark?

    Okey you are using an analog VOM with a needle gauge. In what range to you have it when measuring. I suppose you can change the range from example 200 Ohm, 2000 Ohm (2 KOhm) and 20000 Ohm (20 MOhm).

    Prop size?

    The WOT RPM is a bit high but not bad. Be careful not over rev, if you go up 2 in in pitch the RPM would go down about 400 RPM.

    1970 Evinrude 18hp Trottle issue

    Secondary side of the coil (HT wire to one of the thin wires) should read about 5-8kOhm. You need to change the setting of you multi meter. If you have it at 400 Ohm range it will read infinity when measure secondary winding of the coil.

    1988 50 hp force no spark?

    When you says you have 0 Ohms do you mean infinity or short circuit. If infinity the stator is bad, there is an interruption in the winding. If short circuit the stator is bad too. Charge coil should read 680-800 Ohm at the winding and infinity to ground.

    Chrysler 75hp, need direction.

    Well you can check the flywheel key to be sure, but as the sticker 0-mark lines up with timing plate mark at TDC I do not think it is shared. I would suggest you to start it and check how it perform now. 30 dgr is in my opinion better than 33-34 dgr BTDC you had before.

    Chrysler 75hp, need direction.

    If you do not got the timing retarded when adjusting the timing rod there are something wrong. Check the zero setting of the distributor. Make sure with a screw driver that the top plug is at TDC and check it compered to the sticker. Is the sticker at TDC when the top piston is at TDC.

    Chrysler 75hp, need direction.

    As it is to the left of 32 drg right now it is more then 32 drg. Maybe 33-34 dgr. Retard it to 30 dgr or something around there 29-28 dgr. Try from there. The gap between the timing rod would be about 1/2 in at 28-30 dgr.

    Chrysler 75hp, need direction.

    Measured the gap at the block for the timing rod at my 1975 Chrysler 75Hp. I have the Magna Power I system with electronic distributor (optic diod eye instead of points). The gap is almost 1/2 in (12,3 mm metric).

    1988 50 hp force no spark?

    Yes you have to glue the magnet strip back! It will move again if you not glue it. Glue it back with super glue or epoxi glue. Clean the surface as best you can then a thin coat of glue and put the magnet strip back in the right place.

    Chrysler 75hp, need direction.

    Do not know if you open up the gap or closing it when retard, To long time ago I did it. But I think you do not have to screw the timing screw so much to get much retarding.

    Yes I know that type of sticker. When you says your engine fire at 87# teeth are you counting the tooth CCW from 0 teeth?

    Chrysler 75hp, need direction.

    Is your sticker for 32 dgr in the right place? 360/97 = 3,711 (each teeth is 3,711 drg). 97-88 = 9 then the 32 point is at 9x3,711 = 33,40 dgr. Your timing is 87# teeth, that ends up with 97-87 = 10. Your timing is set at 3,40x10 = 34 dgr, a bit too advanced. I would suggest you to retard it to...
