    Temperature alarm with good flow out pee hole?

    Hi Gang, I have a 1996 120hp Force outboard. I was getting it ready for season and am getting the high temp alarm while running water via the ear muffs. Had good flow out pee hole. A couple years ago I changed the thermostat and it as been cooling fine since until now. I filled a large tub with...

    Charging system Not Working?

    Hi Gang, Hope someone has a tip for me. I have a pontoon with a 70hp Force outboard. It runs fine, but not charging the battery when running. I've replaced the stator and the voltage regulator/rectifier. Still not seeing a higher voltage going to the battery. It's just running on the battery...

    Changed water pump, then no reverse. '96 Force 120hp

    Hi and Thanks for any help, Prior to changing the water pump I had the shifter in forward position. While reinstalling lower unit I had trouble getting it to mesh the last 2 inches. I put the shifter in neutral to see if that would help. It didn't. Turned flywheel while trying to install and it...

    Rectifier-regulator 4 wire, can I use a 5 or 6 wire???

    Hi, I have a 1995 Force 70hp outboard. I read open (2.8 megohms) across the 2 yellow wires from the regulator/rectifier. Believe it to be bad since it won't charge the battery. Stator ohms looked good. Mine ( 815279-2 ) has 4 wires, 2 yellows a red and a gray. Can I use a 5 or 6 wire reg/rect...

    Fuel delivery issue

    Hi, I've been having issues with my 70 hp outboard. It started with a worn out fuel pump. Got a Sierra rebuild kit and installed. Ran great for a week and then started dying. I went back and reviewed my rebuild kit and another purchaser said the plastic holding pins for the diaphragms wouldn't...

    Can stator problem be intermittent??

    Hi, I have had a 1995 70hp Force outboard for 24 years! I have had 2 new stators during that time. Now it runs just fine and then will die and maybe restart , maybe not. I thought I remembered the earlier stator issues being that it would not start at all after the stator was bad. Can it be...

    Starter not engaging on 70hp Force

    Hi Gang, Last night might starter quit working on my 1995 70hp Force. It was kind of locked up just to the point contact with the flywheel. Today I checked my battery and connections....all good. It would spin where it was at but not quite engaged. Removed the starter and looked for a new one...

    Force 70hp outboard, starts, runs, but trouble restarting after sitting

    Hi, My 70 hp Force starts fairly easy, but after running and sitting a while it has trouble restarting. Some times it won't restart and I get towed to my dock. Next day it starts fine. Also, the fuel pump bulb does not firm up, but has been that way for a couple seasons. When I unclick the fuel...

    Fuel bulb won't firm up

    Hi Gang, I have had an issue with the fuel bulb not firming up when pumping it. The motor would still start, but last year I replaced the bulb and fuel lines. Issue didn't go away. Motor still starting though until recently when it turns over good, but won't start. I read a post that said it...

    Prop installation help

    Hi, I have a 1995 Force 70 hp outboard. My prop spun off. I've got a different prop and the nut/keeper kit, but not sure about installation. The keeper is made to fit between 2 'tits' on the old prop. The new prop doesn't have those little '*** posts'. The new nut has a (vinyl? plug?) built into...

    1996 Force 120hp Outboard Start Issue

    Hi, I used my boat 2 weeks ago and no problem. Now I'm not even getting a click when trying to start. Battery voltage and connections good, but put on charger anyway. Oddly, the tilt/trim motor won't run either?? No doubt a connection. I've tried jumping the start solenoid and 12v direct to the...

    Tilt Trim Issue

    Hi, I have a 1995 70hp Force. My tilt trim will not go to the up direction. Down works fine. When I try to go up the motor runs , but little or no movement in the up direction. I swapped the wires ( up & down ), still doesn't go up so it's not the relay. It had been working fine. It has the fill...

    Force 1995 70hp, water in lower unit

    I recently took my boat out of the lake and doing a quick check of loosening the drain plug I got a lot of water out of the lower unit. I know the vent, fill and drain plug washers are most times a source of leaks. Do all 3 take the same washer? What would be other possible sources of water...

    Hi, When I winterized my boat last fall it was running fine. Now it doesn't want to start. Turned over fine, but wouldn't start after multiple tries. Battery ran down so I charged it over night. Tried again today and starter is sluggish and can't turn the flywheel. Checked battery voltage...

    1995 70hp force stator replacement

    Hi, I had an earlier post and got some help which showed my stator bad. Resistance across the white/green, green/white stator wires showed OL (open circuit). This stator had been replaced about 7 years ago. I have a new one coming this week. In advance I got a strap on the flywheel and was able...

    Stator resistance question

    I have a 1995 70hp Force that won't start. Turns over, but no plug spark. It had a replacement stator ( 398-832075A5 ) about 7 years ago. I disconnected the 4 wires from the stator ( 2 yellows and a green,white and a white/green ) and took ohm readings across the stator. G/W to W/G was "open"...
