    It's 2020

    Reminds me of the Africanized "Killer Bees" that were going to wipe out Texas and the southern states during the 70's. Even made several movies about it. Lol

    Dang! Looks like a little overkill for one hornet's nest. Lol I count like 10 people in full protective gear!

    overheating - looking for a cause

    That flat rectangular plate is the exhaust port cover. Look for a small oval shaped cover near the bottom left corner of that cover that has 2 small bolts holding it on. If you have one, the poppet or "relief" valve is inside. It only works at high rpm's for pressure relief, so don't think it...

    1986 35hp Force lower unit.

    Well something must have happened during the forum changeover.....that link for adding a tell tale takes you to a thread about Rosie O'donnel! Lol You could do a forum search instead for "adding tell tale". Looks like a few of those links are screwed up!

    Check the "stickies" at the top of this forum. The one for "Force and Chrysler FAQ" click on it.....there is a thread for adding a tell tale "pisser"

    T&T leakdown tests

    Thanks for that Nordin.....I have done several comp checks and each time I put the hose/muffs on just in case because I wasn't sure. The manual didn't say anything about it so was wandering how the experts on here do it. (y)

    T&T leakdown tests

    Thanks.....stupid question.....whenever cranking the motor for timing or comp checks....you should have water going to the impeller, right? Even though you are not trying to start it?

    T&T leakdown tests

    Thanks Jerry....gonna hijack my own thread here and ask you about your 3-wire octopus you talked about yesterday.....what gauge wire did you use? And did you use any kind of connector to plug the wires into the spark plug boots? Or did you just strip the insulation off the ends and cram the...

    T&T leakdown tests

    The new bolts arrived today and will be installing them maybe tomorrow. Had considered just buying some from the hardware store that would fit, but would they be of the same strength as the originals? No way to know for sure so spent a little more and got the ones designed for this...

    " and a dab of anti-seize on the treads would suffice no??" I will be doing that for sure. (y)

    T&T leakdown tests

    I agree with you, the bolts don't look bad at all. And the torque value is only 95 inch lbs or 7.91 ft lbs according to my Chrysler manual. There are 2 reasons I ordered new bolts....the first is I figured some of them would break or get damaged taking them out. Second, I read a LOT of old...

    T&T leakdown tests

    I really do feel lucky. After reading all the posts about the bolts snapping off and having to drill them out I was kinda worried about that. The one rust spot.....didn't see any signs of water or moisture in there when I opened it. Could have been like that for many years. Who knows.

    T&T leakdown tests

    Never really noticed it before, but after taking the trim cylinder apart I realized it is shaped just like the Chrysler Pentastar logo! LOL. Just a little Chrysler outboard trivia......

    T&T leakdown tests

    Yesterday did the LD test for tilt cylinder and it seemed ok. With the new VB the only thing left was the trim cylinder which has never been cracked open since new. Had sprayed PB blaster on the bolts last week and with a 1/4 inch 12 point socket they all came out fairly easy without snapping...

    T&T leakdown tests

    I have not done the LD tests since I replaced the VB. Good idea, will do that before tearing into the trim cylinder. The first time I did the tests it seemed like no matter what I did it leaked down so couldn't tell which component was bad. With the new VB maybe I will get better results.

    T&T leakdown tests

    It seems I spoke too soon about fixing my leak down problem. (n) After installing the new(rebuilt) VB it initially looked like it was fixed. But now it is coming down, although slower than before, and stops about a third of the way down, then stays pretty much there. Could probably live with...
