Re: Force 50 motor seizes once in awhile
Welcome to iboats. The 50HP Force likes starters.<br />Shoot some wd40 in the plug holes, and turn it over on the muffs a few seconds. Replace the plugs. Take some fresh mixed fuel in a spray bottle. Spray a few squirts directly into the carb's throat, and crank it.<br />If it fires off or sputters like it wants to fire off, your problem is fuel-related.<br />If not, see if you have spark.<br />If not, disconnect the black with yellow stripe wire at the terminal strip on the port side of the engine block and crank. If spark returns, the lanyard switch, ignition switch, or wire harness is bad.
