    1989 Force 50 HP - Carb Adjustments

    I would like to know if anyone can tell me the exact setting for the carb on a 1989 Froce 50 HP 507Y9B. I have looked through a 100 postings and can not find one that helps. I have the manual(see pics), but question what it says. It was running pretty good to start with, but want to make sure...

    1989 Foce 50 HP - Running perfect, then stalled. Will not restart and backfiring

    I have a 507Y9B that I have pretty much rebuilt due to numerous issues. This is my first boat and many of you have really helped me learn about ouboards, thank you. It is on a 1976 aluminum v-hull and I put a center console on it. I finally got her running perfect and was loving the ride...

    1989 Force 50 - No Spark

    So, I tried to start my motor a day after she ran fine and it took a jump from my truck to start her. I ran her for over an hour and I stopped for gas. She would not start after that. She turns over slow, until I take the plugs out and then she cranks really fast. I took apart the carb and...

    50 HP Force will not STOP

    Hello, I finally got my 50 running after I hooked it up to my car. I guess I need a new battery. The engine was apparently in gear when I started it and I tried to put it into neutral, but I think I have the controls hooked up wrong. I tried to turn the engin off at the ignition, but nothing...

    1989 Force 50 lower unit - Not starting

    Hello, I bought a 1989 Force 50 (507Y9B) that was in 2 pices. The guy said it would crank right up and I am a trusting person, so I got it. I wired an ignition, the power tilt trim myself. I do not have experience with small engines, but managed to service the lower unit, replace seals...
