    1986 85hp force 856X6L---Oil Plug retap

    Over the years of owning lots of Forces, this spot caused the most aggravation. It would weep oil no matter what I did to seal it. I tried paste sealers(plumbers goo) thread tape and a few others. Never really did fid a way. My thoughts on Anti-seize, Yes use it. In salt water it doesn't work as...

    1986 85hp force 856X6L no spark

    What I posted was the values for a CDI stator. The OEM are much higher than the CDI. I believe(not positive) the OEM is around 800. I'd have to get my service manual out to double check.

    79 Chrysler 115 Won't go into gear

    Undo the shift cable and shift by hand and see if it works better? Possible bad shift cable or the shift shaft is corroded/corrosion and locks in place.

    what motors are compatible with the 88 125 force?

    If the starters still on??? do a compression test. Jumper cables probably won't supply enough amperage to do a good test, hook to a battery. On the block under the ignition components is a foundry stamp with the year marked in the center. The white is 1986 and older. Blac/blue is 97 and up. The...

    1986 85hp force 856X6L no spark

    The whole trigger doesn't usually go bad. Try swapping the packs around? Check the flywheel key to see if it's sheared.

    1986 85hp force 856X6L no spark

    No spark all cylinders? Usually both packs don't go bad. More likely the stator is bad. Even new stator can be bad. You have a kill switch? Test that.

    I'm stumped, please help. 1996 40HP force outboard

    IF??? you have spark on both leads and it's nice and bright/sharp. Then something else is the problem. Recheck the fuel pump. Recheck the throat of the carb for obstructions(foam possibly).

    Reeds?

    Bad reeds: you can have blowby coming from the front of the carb or carbs. Snake camera. I bought a small flexible "snake" cam for my Android phone,,11$ on Ebay. The "snake" part is skinny enough to get by the flaps in the carbs so you can see the reeds.
