    Need to adjust the dial 1990 Force carbs mixture

    Lanyard should have open circuit when attached. When removed there should be a short circuit at lanyard. To stop the engine you ground out the black/yellow (stop wire) wire.

    50 hp high speed misfire

    As topgun3690 says no distributor with vacuum advancing at these OBs. The older 3 and 4 cylinder engines had distributor but the time advancing was made by turning the plate in the distributer where the points is mounted to. Your engine advance the timing by turning the trigger ring to make the...

    Big water leak inside cowl, any tips for this coming repair?

    Maybe you have bad shock absorbers but I think your engine is shaking because of running with misfires. If you look at Crowley Marine diagrams "spacer plate" and you have shock mounts #6 (2 of them). When trying to loose the nut you maybe twist the rubber as the threaded studs are vulcanized in...

    Big water leak inside cowl, any tips for this coming repair?

    Remove all that are screw to the midleg. No need to remove flywheel, maybe the carb so you will reach some screws. Do not remove the spacer plate #1 from the midleg. There are some shock absorbers (rubber) and they might go bad if you start to remove them. Check the diagrams at Crowley Marine...

    If you have change trigger you have to set the timing. You adjust by the rod that move the trigger connected to the timing tower. Use a timing light to adjust, set it 28dgr BTDC at WOT at cranking speed (starter speed).

    Why does everybody hate Force?

    Well guy48065 that is the one that is pricey, agree with you of that one. It is because it is only available from Mercury. But most of the impellers to Force are from 15 dollars up to about 45 dollars.

    1984 force 125 Leaking tilt and trim?

    Yes, I know about those plastic plugs. If the seal at the lower cover is bad pull those plastic plugs to be sure the water will drain. I do not think water in the lower hurt at all at low RPMs. The water will not reach the power head and the carb intake, the water will drain when pushing the...

    1984 force 125 Leaking tilt and trim?

    There is a rubber seal at the lower cover that seals around the mid leg. Maybe it leaks from outside there. All Chrysler/Force from 70Hp (not the late Force one carb 70Hp) and up to 150Hp has this design. Water inside would not hurt I think. It will drain after avail, water inside the lower...

    Why does everybody hate Force?

    Guy48065 where do you buy impellers to Force/Chrysler for 115 dollars? A impeller kit to the larger engines.... yes, but just an impeller no. They cost from 14 dollars and up to about 45 dollars. Parts to Chrysler/Force are most of the time equal in cost to the OMCs. I am in Sweden Europe and...

    1984 force 125 Leaking tilt and trim?

    As topgun3690 says, check the exhaust rubber boot at the rear of the lower leg cover. If no leak there check the exhaust cover at the engine for a leak. Do not loose the screws at the cover if not necessary, they snap really easy if they are stuck.

    Why does everybody hate Force?

    Agree with both topgun 3690 and Buster53. Chrysler got a bad reputation because it was a bit heavier on fuel then OMC and Merc. In my opinion just a bit heavier, the OMCs drank a lot of fuel too. Chrysler had an old design of the engine, it was from the late 50.es/early 60.es as West Bend brand...

    Force outboard maintenance

    Agree with topgun3690. Some other things to have in mind. Use good quality TC W3 two stroke oil with 50:1 mix and remember the engine is old, do not run the hell out of it. Do not run at full throttle for a long time. 3/4 throttle is much better and the fuel consumption will be accepetable. Take...

    What's the proper starting procedure?

    General start procedure when cold. Pump up the primer ball until it is firm. Set up a fast idle at the remote control. Push in the key switch to choke when turning the key to start. When the engine starts pull the fast idle back a bit to warm up the engine or all way back to idle if it will run...

    Stator position.

    The stator do not need an exact position. It purpose is to charge the CDI box capacitors and to charge the battery through the rectifier. An exact location is not necessary. The length of the wires may give a location.

    Bad trigger? Can’t adjust timing

    Looks good in my opinion, but clean up the edges of the stator poles iron cores with sandpaper. It is to remove most of the rust and it will make the built up magnetic field to be stronger. Take a closer look at the stator winding at each pole, look for hot spots in the insulation. Check the...
