    85 force bog down question.

    My force is on a bayliner and it seems when I have 4 people on it,it doesnt get up and plane as good or as fast. With just me its fine. All summer I have had to kick it full throttle to get it up to the point I can plane out. Then when I let off the gas just a tad,it speeds up even faster.Which...

    tilt trim Q on 85 force

    I got a force with tilt and trim. What my question is,when I put it in the water and lower the motor,it stops where it's suppose to I guess. It hits a steel round rod that it rests on. So thats the tilt part of it correct? But actually I can go farther and bring it closer to the boat,which...

    85 force check valve

    Well I finally got my diaphram today for the 1985-85hp force. I got it torn apart,and want to know how these check valves work,and how to test them. Do you have to take them out,or can u just use a tooth pick,and push on them to see if they stick? Got a picture of them below. Thanks, Scotty

    points on a 50 force?

    I ran across this thread below. I have an 1985 5o HP Force on a 15' roundabout and only ran half the RPM at WOT. Plugs were good and so was the fuel supply. But always wondered why the plugs were always wet with gas when I take them off. Then I found out that these motors actually have a couple...

    Oil on spark plugs

    I am having problems getting speed up when WOT. I took out the plugs(which are fairly new)and cleaned them.Looks like I had a little oil on the side of the plug,not in the electrode. Does any one think I could mabe add a little fuel to it to thin out the oil a little? I used 50 to 1(correct...

    Gear case fin bent

    I had a dumb question on a force 85. Would the center fin on the bottom of the gear case keep me from reaching plane when throttling up if it's bent from a hit on the lake? I replaced the prop,so good to go there. Thanks, Scotty
