    Bad trigger? Can’t adjust timing

    Okey, it will start if the spark advance is about 0-4 dgr BTDC at idle speed. But it would not speed up in RPM at WOT if the spark advance is 0-4 dgr BTDC, it would die. As it is starting the triggers are okey if it is running at all 4 cylinders. If the spark advance is 0-4 dgr BTDC at WOT it...

    1990 15 hp Johnson won’t start, sort of sounds like it’s sucking air/leaking air

    Please, please David Wright forget about a bad flywheel key. That key is order, the gap at the top of the wheel is from factory. The length and height of the key will set the flywheel in right position. Torque the flywheel nut to right value and start to troubleshoot the ignition system. As...

    Bad trigger? Can’t adjust timing

    First of all check if the flywheel key is shared. You can do it without pulling the flywheel. Pull the plugs and put a screw driver in top hole (cylinder #1). Find TDC by turning the flywheel CW. At TDC the zero mark at flywheel should line up with the lager line at the timing sticker or timing...

    Reduce kick when putting in gear

    As racerone says, the idle speed is too high. It should be 650-700 RPM in gear in water. Check the compression, it is always good to know the numbers. As you says it stalls when put in gear with lower idle speed. That can be caused by a lean setting of the air/fuel mixture screws. Try to set the...

    1995 force 70 hp ignition help

    That are some of the ranges at your VOM, right? As you do not have a DVA adapter you have to set the VOM at 700V AC when measure the stator cause the stator output is AC voltage. When measure the triggers output set the VOM at 2V AC. If you use a DVA adapter to your VOM you have to set the VOM...

    1995 force 70 hp ignition help

    You can check the output voltage with your VOM, BUT the best is to have a DVA meter or a DVA adapter to your meter. The DVA adapters purpose is to store the peak voltage output so you are able to se the value of it. You can use your meter but you would not been able to se the actual peak...

    What is this part called on Force 125

    As said before that screw and lock nut control the spark advance. On these Chrysler/Force engines you set the maximum spark advance at WOT (wide open throttle). The spec for your engine from factory was in those days with better fuel than to day 32dgr BTDC at WOT. With the fuel there are now I...

    1995 force 70 hp ignition help

    Follow brodmann is a good starting point, BUT NO NO NO 12V AC or DC at the kill switch. This engine has CDI ignition system and there should not be any voltage at the kill switch, if there is the CDI box is bad. Checking resistance (Ohm) at the components gives you some information but to be...

    1997 50HP 3cyl coil test question

    Okey. BTW: The prime side of the coil is a very low ohm winding. The VOM will show very low resistance and you do not know if it is okey or it is a short circuit. The measurement will show almost the same value.

    1997 50HP 3cyl coil test question

    Yes it can ohm out good but still be bad. Remember that when you check the resistance with a VOM you only put out the battery voltage from the VOM, about 4.5, 6 och 9 Volts depending on brand of VOM. The CDI box are putting 200+ Volt to the primery side of the coil. I think you have a bad...

    1990 force 125 shift bellow leak

    Yes, there should be a zip tie to fit the bellow in the grove at the top. Do not tight it to much.

    What is this part called on Force 125

    It is for the timing. You adjust the timing with these.

    1971 outboard power head compatibility

    Both those suppliers are good, very service minded. There are another supplier I have use and it is Outboardpartsdotcom. I am in Sweden Europe but no problem to buy parts from these suppliers. They ship almost over the whole world.

    1981 115 Johnson charging voltage is 16 volts

    I would install a separately battery for AUX devise such as fish finder and connect a voltage-sensitive differential relay. The relay closes when the voltage reach about 13,5-14 Volt and you will not drain the starter battery for the engine by the AUX devises.

    1981 115 Johnson charging voltage is 16 volts

    I am not super familier with the OMCs but they should actually be similar to Chrysler/Force with in the charging system. 16 Volt is not alarming high and the regulator should start to regulate at about 16 V. Is 16 V at WOT or at 1000-1200 RPM? Generally the alternator start to charge at about...

    1996 40HP Force (by Mercury)

    I do not trust the Chinese aftermarket parts. If aftermarket use good brands such as Sierra, CDI Electronics otherwise OEM. Used parts can be a challenge.

    Sorry, how have you stated spark at all four cylinders.

    Force 120hp won't start

    Have you checked the compression by your self or it is information from pre owner? Have you checked the timing by your self ? How have you stated you have spark at all three cylinders? Do as topgun3690 and racerone says. Clean the carbs and put a clear inline filter between the fuel pump and the...

    1955 evinrude 7.5 hp carb and starting

    CDI Electronics and Sierra have those replacement coils. Should be many dealers or web shops that have them. Master Tech Marine is one on the web.
