    Force 50hp - electric choke

    I'm trying to figure out if my choke/solenoid is working or not before spending the big bucks on a new one. I have a Force 50hp 1993 1 carb and removed the choke completely. I put 12 volts to the black/yellow wire (the other grounded) and I can hear it 'click' each time I touch the wire. When...

    Force 50hp - no pee hole

    I have a Force 50hp 1993 ( ser# oe011553) which runs without a pee hole. I would feel more comfortable knowing the water pump is doing its job and have read some blogs about installing a water tube from the top of the motor. Is the white plug (picture attached) the one I take out and replace...

    Rectifier swap

    I have a Force 50hp and I believe the rectifier needs replacing (failed the diodes test). My neighbor has a rectifier from a 40hp Merc that he is saving as a parts motor. Can I install the Merc rectifier on my Force outboard?

    Force 50hp tach - won't work

    Force 50hp 1 carb approx 1992 - won't idle

    My Force 50hp 1 carb fires up with the choke handle up, revs high, and can run all day. I can't lower the choke handle to engage the throttle...it dies. I cleaned carb twice with carb cleaner and adjusted carb float (horz with carb body), I also replaced needle valve. The primer valve doesn't...

    Force 50hp - doesn't restart

    I have no problem starting my 50hp (2 cylinder) Force and will run it for an hour or so....but watch out. I shut it down and it won't restart. Appears after 20 minutes or so (maybe cools down) it starts like there was never a problem. What can I check?

    Prop on Party Hut produces 4800 rpm

    I have a 30ft Sun Tracker Party Hut with a 150 1996 2 cycle Mariner and can only produce 4800rpm with my 3 blade alum. prop (18 - 12 pitch). Any ideas to max my rpms? 4 blade? Stuck in slow mode. Thx, Tuni.
