    Force 507X8B Shift & Throttle cables

    I am trying to upgrade my boat with a Quick Silver remote control with the emergency stop pull cord. I bought a 881170A5 remote control with a set of cables. But, the cable attachments on the motor end are different. Are there brackets available to either use my current cables on my new...

    Force 507X8B Shift Issues

    I have a Force 507X8B that I recently put on my older boat previously running an older 50 HP Force motor. The problem I have is I can't get it to shift to both forward and reverse. I can get one or the other but not both. The shifter I am using was originally from an older Chrysler setup but...

    Force 507X8B Ignition

    I replaced my 507X5A with this 507X8B that I bought used out of ebay. I wired it up per the colors but I wonder if something is different at the switch than my old motor. Two issues now: 1) Coils smoked badly and smell of smoke. 2) Motor started right up but would not shut down with the switch...

    507X5A 50 Hp Force idles very fast

    This motor will idle fine. But usually it takes a long time for it to slow to a reasonable idle. Even when running in nuetral going fron fast idle to normal idle it takes a long time before it finally winds down. I have checked all the cable linkage and it seems to be ok. Wondering if the feul...

    Chrysler 70hp 707HF #17505 won't run

    I picked up this motor that has been docked for several years. It turns over, pumps water, but no spark and the plugs look dry. I did crank it over a bit with the plugs out while blowing mixed gas into the carbs to get some lubrication in it. That is about as far as I have gotten. Looking...

    55 HP Chrysler Lost power

I had it to a mechanic and all they can say is that it is electrical and to give up. I am having a hard time accepting that because it does run. If it were electrical I don't...
