    Yamaha Drive Shaft Collar

    I just picked up a used 2006 Yamaha 150TXR and am in the process of replacing the water pump. I've installed the plate gasket, the wear plate, impeller, and the 3 washers on the shaft, but cannot seem to get the metal collar to slip down on the plastic collar. I've been reading about...

    1988 Force 1251H8C overheating

    I have a 1988 125hp force outboard that keeps over heating when I throttle up to around 3000 RPM. I've checked compression... Cylinders 1-4. 140psi, 138 psi, 138psi, 138 psi, respectively. I've checked the external temperature of the water jacket/cylinder head (127 degrees F), Thermoswitch (102...

    Force 125hp overheating above 2500 RPM

    The overheat buzzer on my 1988 125hp outboard has been going off at RPM's around 2500 and above. I've read over numerous threads that cover the topic, but haven't found any solutions to my problem. Following the Clymer manual, I synced the carbs and set the idle, making sure idle is around 900...

    Driveshaft and Bearing on Force 1251X9B

    So as if i did not have enough projects already, i found a pretty good deal on a 1989 125hp force. I decided to buy it for $250 to use as a parts motor/practice tear down motor so that i can understand how my current 1988 125hp (which i run on my boat) works. Now, my though is that i can...

    Restoring a 1988 Force Engine Cowling

    I have begun sanding the existing paint off the engine cowling on my '88 125hp Force outboard. I made it down to the primer (which looks decent - no gouges below the primer), ad my question is whether i should keep sanding below the primer or two leave it and paint over it. I am concerned that...

    Trim Mount Shaft on Prestolite Tilt Trim

    Engine: 1988 Force 125hp I decided to tackle fixing my leaking tilt/trim as a winter project. I have the pump and hydraulic lines disconnected, however the trim body and trim mount shaft seem to be corroded together.

    1988 Force 125hp bogs down at WOT

    So I finally got my boat out on the water this weekend. The engine started right up and idles fine. Had to adjust the idle screw in order to shift from neutral into gear. Got it out of the marina into open water, gave it WOT, and bogged down after about 8 seconds of running strong. I noticed...

    Brakes rubbing on new disc brake system

    I recently installed a Tie Down 12" vented rotor kit (including actuator) on my Escort Trailer. After bleeding the system, I took the trailer for a test drive. I noticed that the passenger side brakes are rubbing the rotor, while the driver side seem fine. Any thoughts? FYI - the kit is called...

    Morse MT2 Throttle trouble

    I recently ran my 1988 125hp force outboard. When I initially started, the Morse MT2 throttle control worked correctly - you would pull the lever to the right to ensure that the engine would remain in neutral while being able to give it gas. Now, when I pull the lever to the right and give it...

    Oil droplets in water

    After replacing the impeller on my 1988 Force 125 hp outboard, I test ran the engine in a container of water. I noticed that after about 10 mins of running, there were oil droplets in the container. Is this normal? I assume that because it is a 2 cycle engine, there will be some oil discharged...
