    Force 120 Outboard Low compression - rebuild it?

    I’ve heard that twice now. He has 3 propellers that came with the boat. I need to get the data off of them and find out.

    Force 120 Outboard Low compression - rebuild it?

    They can cut the cylinders at a reasonable price. He wants to go .030 over and needs the pistons I am to use. Im having a little issues locating the pistons that I would need. I see Wiesco 3151P3 is popular but found TSM performance pistons as well for a much better price. Any suggestions? The...

    Stripped the block the rest of the way down and have attached pictures. Pistons are arranged 1-4 left to right. Meeting with a machine shop soon to go over cylinder repairs.

    Force 120 Outboard Low compression - rebuild it?

    The boats a 92 and the data plate is missing on the outboard. From what I’ve gathered it’s the 92 with the 90A, 92C carburetors. It has 1 fuel pump and the recirc system. I’ll try and take pictures of the pistons. Feels like a poor oil/fuel mixture or water was getting in. Noticed back sides of...

    Force 120 Outboard Low compression - rebuild it?

    That’s the pickle I’m in. Going to go through it all. Reeds looked to be in excellent shape. Bearings all look good too. No idea pervious maintenance or proper fuel/oil mixtures...seems like a decent unit to overhaul as the overall condition is good so far. Lower unit oil was clean as well. This...

    Force 120 Outboard Low compression - rebuild it?

    Removed the powerhead today and removed #2 piston. New piston and machine work is required. Piston melted past first ring. Starting to create a list of items I know Ill need and with the gasket set I cant find what gaskets and seals are included. Seems like buying the kit will save money if all...

    Force 120 Outboard Low compression - rebuild it?

    Thank you. Profile updated. I figured the machine work might need to be addressed. Hoping with how easy the head came off the rest will be decent to disassemble

    Force 120 Outboard Low compression - rebuild it?

    Thanks guys. I had a lead on a 93 120 for a good price but someone beat me to it. Going to tear what I have down for a full inspection and rebuild what I have. Local machine shops are quoting 25$ a bore but that depends on how far they have to go. Hopefully I end up with a solid block to build...

    Force 120 Outboard Low compression - rebuild it?

    Update is heads off. All 4 thermostat bolts and 1 head bolt broke. Survey shows gaskets good but all but 1 cylinder show terrible ring grooves. Pretty much what I expected to see. Interesting the owner said it ran great when they parked it.

    Force 120 Outboard Low compression - rebuild it?

    New to the forum and in the middle of a decision. Picked up a free bayliner in need of a complete interior overhaul but was told the motor ran great 4 years ago. Decision was to strip the interior and make a simple fishing boat or slowly restore it. Went through the restart process of...
