RRitt, if you are gonna recommend a place to buy parts, atleast recommend iboats MALL. As they are providing this site, please have the courtesy not to recommend their competitors.<br /><br />Oh, and direct links to commercial sites are not allowed.<br />That includes ebay.<br /><br />Just trying to warm you, as the mods will likely start deleting your posts pretty soon.<br /><br />Happy Boating.

roscoe, i couldn't find fk1073. even a google search for "force fk1073" only returned five or six results. i try to find it on iboats mall first, but it is extremely difficult to find the parts with their search feature. when you stick in the force number or a description it seems to come back with ten pages of unrelated parts.<br /><br />for example ... <br />search for force impeller # F4330652 and you get 74 pages of everything except a force impeller.<br /> http://www.iboats.com/mall/index.cg...30652++&submit.x=17&submit.y=10&submit=Search

Mercury and Force part numbers refer to Mercury supplied parts, which are available only thru Mercury dealers.<br />No accurate or current cross reference exists, that I know of.<br /><br />If you want to buy the Merc parts, go to a Merc dealer, or mercurypartsexpress.com, or mercruiserparts.com.<br /><br />If you want to save a few bucks and buy aftermarket parts,<br />go to one of the many many many online parts dealers or NAPA parts store, and hope they sell you the right part.<br /><br />If you want to order parts from iboats, forget the regular search, use the PARTSFINDER here:<br /> http://www.iboats.com/mall/partfinder/*******.601407269&**********=391631534 <br /><br />All parts that are still available from Mercury, for your 507x7c engine, are listed here:<br />mercruiserparts.com/selectDocs.asp?doc_nbr=FOB4161

thanks roscoe, <br /><br />i didnt know about the partsfinder. Someone should tell iboats that their search field is really messed up. (like i click on an impeller and im taken to a boat wiring manual), stuff like that.<br /><br />~gratis

Re: Force 50 conks out as thottle increases

Smith,<br />My boat was doing somewhat what yours was. The problem with mine was the Needles, that are controlled by the floats, were sticking and not allowing gas to fill the bowl. I was running out of gas in the Bowls. The needles were then replaced 3 times, and finally the mechanic got it fixed. You might want to check this in your Carburetor.<br /><br />I went through everything just as you did, spark, all the fuel lines and systems, and nothing. Finally I gave up, after replacing the needles twice and took it the Mechanic and he figured it out for me. Talk about a real hair puller, when you replace the parts and clean and clean the carbs and still no go.<br /><br />He said the carbs were the cleanest ones he had ever seen brought to him, by a customer doing their own work. But I also cleaned them 3 times, while trying to figure it out.<br /><br />Hope this will help you.<br /><br />Bryan
