    90hp Force with no serial number

    Does it have single exhaust LU or dual? If single I believe it is a 1990 and if duel exhaust a 1991.

    90hp Force with no serial number

    If the ID tag is unreadable it can be hard to find the serial number. Sometimes there has been a glued label around/behind the starter. You can find the year of it by looking for a circle "stamp" in the block casting behind the mounting plate for the ignition power packs. In the center of it you...

    Force 125 lower unit issue

    The second and fourth pic are the 85Hp and it has the single exhaust LU. It is a 1988 year model. Is the 125Hp LU a single exhaust LU or a dual? I think they are interchangeable, but the gear ratio can be different. It is easy to check the ratio. Pull the plugs and turn the flywheel one turn and...

    Force 125 lower unit issue

    Please check the model number on both and post those. They should be interchangeable, but there was some different LU. Single exhaust and dual exhaust, one piece drive shaft and two piece drive shaft. 2:1 or 1,93:1 gear ratio.

    Chrysler 757HB. Heating problems (again!)

    Looking at your pics closer, how is the surface between cyl. 2 and 3 exactly where the head gasket failed. Looks like the surface is not flate. Can be a wrong interpretation of the image.

    Chrysler 757HB. Heating problems (again!)

    ErSa, check the head for warp with a straight ruler. Not more then 0,10 mm feeler gauge able to go through. Most important around the cylinders. If more, grind it at a piece of glass with a water grinding paper in a eight (8) pattern. Install a new head gasket and torque it in 3 steps and start...

    Spark plug type

    It depends which ignition system it has. The 55 Hp from late 60.es and early 70.es had three different systems. 1. Magneto Champion L4J or equal 2. Battery Champion L4J or equal 3. Magnapower Champion UL18V 555HA should have magneto ignition but someone could have change it.

    87 85 hp force

    Clean the carbs and set the floats at right level. It should be parallell with the carb body casting edge when turned upside down. Set the air/fuel mixture screw at 1 1/8 out from lightly seated. Then you maybe have to fine tune the mixture screw when warmed up. At last set the idle screw to...

    1991 Force 90hp starting problem

    Seams like that is a franken engine! Hard to see in the pics but the model is 908F90C or 906F90C? The XXXF90C says it is a 1990 year model BUT the power head look like a later 1994 or later cause it has the Mercury style fuel pump. Your fuel pump is the right one for that power head, but the...

    88 mariner force 50 hp leaking fuel out exhaust and drain hole

    Check the fuel pump diaphragm, I think you have a hole in it and the cylinder driving the pump will get fuel right through the crank case and push it out the exhaust down the leg.

    88-89 Force 15 HP coil info please?

    Mastertech marine and others have coil that should fit. Part number is 185-2370. The wire colours do not matter, the important thing is that it fit and the resistance of the secondary winding is in about right range.

    1991 Force 90hp starting problem

    Look at the sticker in the top of this forum by FrankA to set the timing and throttle pick up point. There is also a You tube video by FrankA how to do it. I think your setting of the idle and the throttle pick up point is out of adjustment.

    WATER PUMP LINER

    No problem with out of balance, you can rebore up to 040 with no problem. If you do as much as 040 oversize you maybe have to rejet the carb feeding the rebore cylinder. The Chrysler block that has 3,312 in bore can be rebore up to 040 oversize and I think your 115Hp has the same size of the...

    1989 Force 85 HP Starter Disengages

    If the starter continued to turn after the bendix disengage the flywheel there is an issue with the starter solenoid. The starter gets power from the solenoid.

    WATER PUMP LINER

    Take the block to a workshop that can machine it. Measure the bore and rebore it, I think you are able to rebore to 040 oversize. No need to put a new sleeve in if you can rebore.
