    1995 Force 120 will no longer idle

    YEA!!! sounds like your getting there. Another test: run the motor and get it hot, then running at full throttle turn the key off, don't throttle back just kill the motor, then pull the plugs and check the burn. Check for all 4 plugs being the same burn.

    Tillotson TC-5E float needle valve

    Granger might have needles?? Could this lead to a generally rich mixture and chronic fouling of plugs in a short period of time? Yes. It will allow excess fuel and make it run bad.

    1995 Force 120 will no longer idle

    NOT IDLE screws. while they will affect the idle thats not what they're for. They're for air/fuel mix at low rpms. The idle screw is on the towershaft. Set the air screws at 1 and 1/8th turn out. Then adjust from there. Once you get it running, do the starting fluid test. Start the motor, spray...

    Tillotson TC-5E float needle valve

    If the needle is all metal and no rubber in the seat?? then the carb will leak fuel. IF?? the seat has the rubber in it, then be careful what cleaners and soaks and additives you use, as the seat can swell shutting off the flow. If it swells? rinse in soapy water and let air dry. The...

    Seafoam's a JOKE!!! The very best oil is Amsoil, also the most expensive. I had a pair of 1988 Force 85hp. used them for over 30 years. They were new and before TCW-3 the oils produced were purposely made to carbon up, both motors the rings carboned up. I caught them before the motors got...

    1995 Force 120 will no longer idle

    Fuel out the front of the carb: could be the fuel pump is bad? the float stuck? It sounds like the motors sucking air from somewhere. You had the carb apart. Reset the float: carb upside down- the float should be even with the carb body. Inspect the needle: solid tip?=the bowl inlet where the...

    1990 Force outboard lower drive issue question

    IF??? the code's not on the top of the casing it probably needs to be shimmed the old way. Looking down at the top of the drive into the holes. On the right hand or stbd. side the code should be at the back of the tear drop shaped hole, next to the drain hole.
