    float setting

    Turn the carb upside down, the float should set level with the body. Turn right side up and the float should drop and almost hit the center post. Check the floats for water??

    Super Ugly Pistons

    The port cover gaskets probably went bad and allowed more air to get in the system and created a lean condition, loose carb or gaskets somewhere in the intake side could have contributed to the problem?? An open condition on the reeds: a small amount is acceptable. Your reeds didn't cause that.

    1990 force problems

    Sounded good to me. A no load of 5000rpm really doesn't show much. A loaded rpm would be much better, in the water, boat loaded and gassed. Then try to hit 5500 at wide open.

    Force/U S Marine 15 hp won't start

    Did you check the things I posted before? (The fuel line where it goes into the motor, that connector has a rubber seal that goes bad and allows the motor to suck air and die. Another problem might be the float in the carb isn't set right and runs itself out of fuel. When pumping the ball, does...

    Just make sure the electric motors turning the pump??? Remove the electric motor and rig up a drill and turn pump and see if that makes the oil move???

    Tilt trim

    Also new pump: the connector (if there is one??) between the motor and pump might not be hooked up? Or since it's new the connector might be too short or missing?? Not all have a connector.

    Force/U S Marine 15 hp won't start

    He probably used starting fluid on it??? When looking at any boat/motor I always tell the seller to don't start it until I get there. When I get there I touch the motor to see if it's hot. If it is I walk away. It could be a good motor but the owner's hiding something.
