    1997 50 hp Force

    It should idle about 700 RPM in water in gear. If you run it on muffs it should idle about 1100 RPM. But set the idle in water in gear. It is the best way to adjust it right.

    Force 85 won't shift into forward but goes in reverse help!

    The adjustment of the lower shift rod depends on which typ of LU you have. My OEM service manual OB4642 calls for four turns out from bottom for the two piece drive shaft typ and nothing more then bottom for the one piece drive shaft typ. I would suggest you to check how yours is adjusted and...

    Will a 1977 135hp Chrysler outboard work as a parts motor for my 1974

    Jerryjerry is right about the LU, they started to use a one piece LU in 1977- 78. In 1975 some of the 135Hp was equiped with the MagnaPower II igniton until 1977. Then they started to use the Prestolite ignition system. Everything else except the LU and maybe the ignition system are swappable...

    Force 50 (1988) comes out of water in reverse

    Remy Mac and Roscoe, the reverse lock is not automatic at Force OBs as it is at Mercury OBs. You have to lock and unlock by hand by the handle part 25. The construction of the lock reverse part 28, it will free from the lock bar part 32 if you hit something and allow the engine to flip up. When...

    1996 Force 40HP suddenly died, wont start.

    It is the small black fuel tube he is refer to. The primer solenoid system takes fuel from the carb bowl (discolored tube) and spray a small amount of fuel into the engine intake manifold, behind the carb (small black tube). This is instead of a regular choke butterfly system. If the diaphragm...

    1989 85hp force outboard no start issues

    There should be a screw with two washers in the hole in the choke lever and it should be threaded into the threaded hole in the carb body casting. Look just to the right of the right red circle just above the carb bottom cowl. Check in a parts diagram for that engine at for example Crowley...

    Can't get flywheel off!!

    Do not use that long bolts, try to have the balance puller as close to the crank end as possible. Set the flywheel under some force by tigthen the bolts BUT not to hard, you will strip the threads. Give the center of the puller a hit with a big hammer then it would come loose. If not, heat the...

    1989 85hp force outboard no start issues

    This looks like a carburator for an OMC (Johnson/Evinrude) and it is a manual choke.

    89 force 125 leaking fuel from carbs

    Your issue is the inlet needles do not seal properly. The tiny hole in the brass plug is went holes for the carb and if the needle do not seal fuel will come out through the hole. I would suggest you to pull the carbs apart and clean them out very well with carb clean fluid and compressed air...

My youngest son has a 1988 Force 85Hp and the...

Two days ago I cleaned my youngest sons Chrysler 65Hp 1977. It has twin carbs and there are no wire...

    FUEL PUMP orafices: 3/8" vs 5/16" 1996 FORCE 75hp

    I always use 5/16 fuel lines as I am in Sweden it is metric 8 millimeter. The smaller OB use 1/4 fuel lines or 6 millimeter. You can use 5/16, it will be enough but if you want 3/8 you have to check that the clamp will tight and seal around the fitting. Be careful as the inlet cover fitting for...
