Hi,
I have a 1993 or 1994 Force 70hp engine that i am looking into purchasing. It is mounted on a 1993 or 1994 Spectrum 16' Sport hull.
First off, is there any major differences between the 1993 or 1994 models? The next problem deals with the spark. The seller claims the compression is good 120, 120, 112, but says there is no spark so the engine won't start.
What could be possible issues/parts that could give me a spark? I'm new and not very familiar with boat motors so i would like to just get an idea of what will be in store for me or how extensive the repairs can be.
In addition to the spark, the steering is stiff. Would it be a simple case of lubrication or would i need to replace some parts as well.
I'm looking on offering the seller a price and would there be any advice on how much a motor like this would be worth?
I know these may be difficult questions, but any info would be greatly appreciated.
I will try to attach some pics. The motor looks very clean and it looks like there are some repair tags dating back to '08.
