  4. The Force power

    What would make a flywheel hard to spin? Starter won't spin it.

    On a 4-stroke when the valves timing is off, yeah maybe On a 2-stroke?? I can only see this happening if the (intake reeds are seized solid/melted-on???) but then it would be in a scenario as your post #5

    85 force propeller replacement

    The 4" diameter is force prop. the 4.25 would be for Merc. and others?? The gap between the prop would be a problem IF this was a flow-through lower-unit due to the fumes leaking through the gap. But this is not so for that reason; you'd be okay Now just hoping you're not picking-up fish-lines...

    1990 Dual Force 120s one side showing 16.7v at speed with dual batteries

    My solution was a solar panel charged my deep cycle & my starting battery was charged by the motor with a rectifier/regulator; never had a problem after that

    1990 Dual Force 120s one side showing 16.7v at speed with dual batteries

    As jerryjerry mentioned don't use a deep cycle & regular starting battery, they have different charging rate ( absorb voltage) Your best solution(in my opinion) is to get a rectifier/regulator that can handle the max output of the stator, their relative cheap & available ($40) This will solve...

  18. The Force power

    Bizarre starter behavior (won't "bench test" on motor)

    There's a logical explanation for it & lots of ideas to diagnose Does the starter turn the engine with the plug out?
  19. The Force power

    Bizarre starter behavior (won't "bench test" on motor)

    Sounds like a "weak/faulty" starter and/or bad ground wire

    Force 125 Trim Motor working, but I think it should go higher

    So true, if it wasn't for those pesky plug gasket/0-rings that never completely seal :{ I think also any failures (upper driveshaft bearing) are that the oil-level is not kept to its max
