    0.25 Volts AC from stator. But ohms out ok. What to check?

    If you are handy you can build your own DVA adapter. Google DVA adapter and the schematics will show up. I have made a couple of DVA adapters myself. It is a diod, a capacitor and a resistor. Really simple to build and the DVA adapters purpose is to store the peak voltage from the stator in the...

    1991 Force 150 hp

    The 150Hp was manufactured from 1989 until 1994 and they had the 2 piece drive shaft. I am not 100% sure but in 1989 the 85Hp and the 125Hp had the 1 piece drive shaft. Pre 1989 they (85 and 125Hp) had 1 piece drive shaft. In 1990 the 85Hp was replaced by the 90Hp and the 125Hp by the 120Hp and...

    1991 Force 150 hp

    No there are no Mercury LU that will fit. 1 piece LU from Chrysler 3 and 4 cylinder and Force 3 and 4 cylinder will fit. As your 150Hp is a 1991 year model the LU has the 2 piece drive shaft but a LU with 1 piece drive shaft should fit too.

    Force 85 1987 bayliner capri

    CDI Electronics has a aftermarket CD box for the Motorola box. Part# 115-3301, but it is expensive, about 400 dollars. I suggest you to troubleshoot the ignition system first. Outboardignitiondotcom has the troubleshoot chart. The system is quit simple, CD box, distributor with points or a...

    1988 Force (US Marine Power) 125 HP - No Spark on all four cylinders.

    Yes you can use a regular digital VOM with the adapter. The adapter is just a single diod and a electrolyte capacitor and a resistor. The diod rectifier the AC voltage (cuts off the negative side) and charge the capacitor over the resistor. The output from the adapter is the voltage over the...

    1988 Force (US Marine Power) 125 HP - No Spark on all four cylinders.

    1988 Force (US Marine Power) 125 HP - No Spark on all four cylinders.

    Outboardpartsdotcom has troubleshoot chart for this ignition system. As you have no spark at all it sounds like a bad stator cause it is chargning the capacitors in the CDI boxes. The resistance are in spec, but you have to check the output voltage from the stator. That is more important the the...

    Force 85 1987 bayliner capri

    Yes, will fit right on. These engines are the same, maybe some different (ignition parts). Your Force has the 1 piece LU unit and the Chrysler has the older 2 piece unit. They are not swapable but you can put the Chrysler power head to the Force midleg/LU Keep your Force as a spare for the...

    So I bought a boat........

    I do not know why the rectifier/regulator failed. As it is a combo, there is a rectifier inside and a regulator. The regulator is basically a zener diod that opens up (starts to lead) when reached the zener voltage and it is connected to ground and the rectifier is a single wave rectifier with a...

    Erratic Timing Light Reading on '96 Force 120

    If you are getting confused when switching coils and CDI packs around, have in mind that there is a blocking diod in each CDI pack that have the purpose to block the CDI to interfere with the other one. This diod can be bad and you can not replace it. It is in the CDI pack, only way to fix it is...

    Force 50 turns over but wont run

    Start with checking compression and then for spark. If the compression is good (130-150 PSI) and close even with the cylinders and you have good strong spark at both cylinders, then clean the carb and check the water impeller pump.

    Force 85 1987 bayliner capri

    The crack is in the casting and the sleeve maybe able to move. As jerryjerry says, no way to repair that issue. That is my opinion too.

    Identifying Chrysler 45 hp Outboard year and Model Number

    Can not se in the pics if the ball joints are there. They should be at the same side as the fuel pump and close to the pump. There are some videos at Youtube by mweverett how to adjust and set up the remote control. Search "remote control Chrysler outboard" at Youtube and they should show up.

    Identifying Chrysler 45 hp Outboard year and Model Number

    You will need Morse, Teleflex 33C or equal remote cables, they will fit. In the remote control box you just thread the ends in to the connectors but at the engine you will need the special connectors for Chrysler/Force engines. One is shorter and is for the shifter. You slide the collar back and...

    1996 Force 40 outboard

    You can do the static both ways. I do it with the plugs in, if you do it with the plugs out you have to ground all plugs cause you can damage the CD box (switch box). Okey you run 87 octane. I am in Sweden and the lowest octane we have is 95. I would suggest you to retard the timing to 28-30 dgr...

    Force 85 1989 flywheel magnet pain

    Yes as jerryjerry says. Do not remove the magnets that are in place. Just glue the loosen magnets back.

    1996 Force 40 outboard

    You never set the timing on these engines at idle. You set it at WOT and it should be about 30 dgr BTDC. The setting depends what fuel you are using. It is better to retard it some degrees then advance it. I usually set the timing to 28 dgr static (throttle at WOT and turning the engine over...

    Identifying Chrysler 45 hp Outboard year and Model Number

    It is a long shaft engine. You can se the extension part bolted on between the LU and the mid leg covers.

    87 Force 85 Cylinder Scoreing from Overheating

    Do as jiggz suggest and if you can catch the score with your nails you have to rebore the cylinder. There are no problem to put a OD piston in one or two cylinder. No balancing is needed.
