    1990 Force 120HP #2 Cyl zero compression and upon opening piston shows damage

    So I took the carb apart. In order to get the main nozzle unscrewed I had to remove the long tube #6 that was in the way. There seems to be a plug cap #5 at the end. I hammered it from the bottom out through the bowl. I did not see the cap but the tube was plugged up couldn't blow through it...

    Yeah it wasn't level, or parallel it was dropping down. Can this cause the idle issue?

    1990 Force 120HP #2 Cyl zero compression and upon opening piston shows damage

    You know I thought that. I adjusted the float because when I turned it upside down it was sitting down passed parallel so I bent it to keep it parallel. In the book it says it has to be parallel to the body on one end and almost touching the jet onthe other adjustment end. But the holes that...

    1990 Force 120HP #2 Cyl zero compression and upon opening piston shows damage

    So the hole inside the bowl and the one hole it leaks through are connected. I blew air through it. Any thoughts? Am I missing something?

    1990 Force 120HP #2 Cyl zero compression and upon opening piston shows damage

    No, I did 70 inlb. It's from lifting it with a jack like a moron. Hipefully this will fix that issue. When you put the impeller in the engine is twisted clock wise right? What say you on the carb?

    1990 Force 120HP #2 Cyl zero compression and upon opening piston shows damage

    As far as the heating issue well, I cracked the impeller housing guys. And it was new. I screwed it up. I will provide pictures. I reordered it. Wtf. I should have known better. And when I angled the engineit went in right away. I guess I always screw it up first then get it right. Oh well...

    1990 Force 120HP #2 Cyl zero compression and upon opening piston shows damage

    Yeah so I have the juicy updates on the 3 issues. The top carb is squarting fuel when primed. When I run the engine it doesn't do it. So idle below 2k rpm is not possible. I can keep it running if I put the remote forward and keep it at 2k or more. Sounds great untill the heat alarm goes off.

    1990 Force 120HP #2 Cyl zero compression and upon opening piston shows damage

    The pressure is fine muffs not the best kind. I will take down the drive and see if the plasticpiecesup there were cracked during the failed install. I did install it pretty easy when putting the engine at an angle but before that it was chaos hahaha. Lots of failed attempts with a jack. Who...

    1990 Force 120HP #2 Cyl zero compression and upon opening piston shows damage

    I did it was at around 140. Yeah, alarm doesn't go off right away it takes a few turns. I mean the motor starts and stops after 2-3 seconds sometimes 5-6. If I rev it up it stays running if at 2k or higher RPM, dies at idle or close to. But I will take out the lower drive again. When I mounted...

    1990 Force 120HP #2 Cyl zero compression and upon opening piston shows damage

    I will check again. But I think once it starts once the alarm goes off. Cannot remember if before cranking also, and just ignition on.

    1990 Force 120HP #2 Cyl zero compression and upon opening piston shows damage

    It is only the top one when I prime it. If I try to start it I did not see a leak. I will have to look for sure.

    1990 Force 120HP #2 Cyl zero compression and upon opening piston shows damage

    I did read that text before. I have to redo ot all from scratch. Timing at 28. Will check again. I have to also check the coils. Funny before rebuilding cyl 2 was at 0 compression but held idle at 2500. The top carb squarts a little gas through a side hole when I pump the gas to prime it. The...

    1990 Force 120HP #2 Cyl zero compression and upon opening piston shows damage

    Hello, wanted to update this posting, I rebuilt my lower drive on one of the 2 motors. Put it all back after checking for leaks at 10 psi. there was some gas leaking from the top carb so I removed the carb took of the bowl and replaced the completely dried up broken gasket, blew some compressed...

    I opened up the pump and got the gears to move freely but once I put it all back screwed on it doesmove but with a ratchet and socket. And it moves easily. There are 2 bigger balls and a smaller one under a spring.

    1996 Force/Merc 125 tilt cyl spit outall the fluid on water

    I don't know if it's threads but you can get a screwin there. My question would be whatever got blown out of there was it a short cap or something with a longer shaft that went throughat least 1inch. If I insert a thin screw driver it goes în pretty deep at least 1 inch. As far as the pump I...

    1996 Force/Merc 125 tilt cyl spit outall the fluid on water

    HaHaHa that's weird was there an answer to my question. This is a different boat than the one you guys are helping me with. I ordered the ring kit for the cylinder. But am wondering if I can close the hole with a short screw and some JBWeld? Also the pump shaft is stuck, can I open it and see...

    1996 Force/Merc 125 tilt cyl spit outall the fluid on water

    So my friend was getting back from the Channel Islands semi heavy seas and in the bay he heard something pop and sure enough all the tranny fluid got spit out through the little hole in the front middle section below the motor. Picture 1. Something got released and all the fluid came out. Have...

    1990 Force 120HP trim and tilt not keeping motor up no leaks

    It's ok I bought the $71 one. Hope it solve the issue. It's a good thing they are still available. Was thinking the only way to getthe bottom bolt out is to sacrifice the trim unit which seems to come off seperatelly. So cutting it off gets rid of most of the shaft piece. So you're left with the...
