    Force 85 not firing on cylinder 3

    As Jerry already mentioned; try swapping the Module around The terminal wire of the trigger tend to break and it just the shrink-tube is holding it in place. Pull on each wire on the terminal-strip and you will find one or more broken wires. Some of Yellow wires of the stator produce AC power...

    87 Force 85hp Flywheel removal

    It may not be the best thing for the flywheel but if its not working the conventional way. I ended up using a 2 jaw & it worked without any damage

    "Make sure that you remove the drain plug and NOT the screw on the side of the gearbox. Pulling that screw WILL cause problems" We can't say this enough :D

    Chrysler 75 horsepower seems to lack a lot of power at wot

    These two holes are your pressure release ports; exhaust fumes & water will come out of there while the engine is running in neutral / in water.(not on hose) This is to relief the back pressure that the water is causing, the minute the engine is in forward gear and the lower-unit is going...

    Motor dies then won't start

    You could also check for any small particles inside the pump, it does not take much

    Yes your correct but you would need a large test tank/Dynamo I would not concern my self with the timing mark at 5500 RPM however verify you're not passing the 5500 rpms @ WOT. I don't know the static timing mark @ cranking speed, does the manual not tell you? Someone will tune in and tell us :)

    Forgot to mention...........the timing light will flash when running in Idle speed very close to TDC when the RPMs increase the further prior to TDC However unless you have a large enough test-tank you will not be able test/see this...do not do this running on a hose cooling!

    Hang on..... you do need to know where you TDC is(and it mark on the flywheel) before you do anything. You can verify by stick a screw driver (if proper tool is not avail.) in the #1 cylinder and find the spot where it sticks out the most, this verifies if the key is not sheared and the flywheel...

    Full throttle WOT, you'll have to jump the starter so it will crank (as now it in gear) Keep your legs away from the propeller or remove. Disconnect the fuel-line!!! and you may want to have the Cylinder wall lubed with some oil

    The advancing feature is for 4-stroke (can't use that) I also had a closer look at your earlier write up and yes the timing set up will be a static-timing (full throttle at cranking speed) Basically you use the light only for it to verify set/adjust the timing at cranking speed & it ends up...

    "However the timing mark remained static" I'm not sure what you mean by that?
  18. The Force power

    2003 25 hp merc 2 stroke impeller replacement

    You can use a timing light designed for 4-stroke, however the RPM-reading will not be correct!! for that you will need a secondary (cheap handheld)
