Re: pee hole?!?

I assume you started it out of the water. Do you have it hooked up to muffs when running it out of the water? The "pee hole" should be obvious if your running water through it.

Yes I put the muffs on it. I have a friend that is a mechanic that came over and helped me get it started once we got it to run we turned it off put the muffs on it and still nothing. So we put it an a bucket that completely submerged the lower part of the motor about a foot above the propeller and still nothing.

If it is not peeing then it is not pumping. You may need to replace your water pump. Do not run the motor without the pump working correctly. Here is a video of a 1986 Force running. Look just below the cowl (cover) and you will see a small stream of water coming out of the engine, this is where the most "pee holes" are located.

Check out the stream coming from just below the engine.

Re: pee hole?!?

your motor does not have a actual pee hole, but water should spit out the 2 holes on the very rear(see video above) the stream coming out the side in the video from above is not on force,(that one might have been added) they did not come with a pee hole, water just comes out the exhaust holes. You can add a tell tale(pee hole), do a search on this site and it shows how to do it. It is real easy to add one and I would recommend it. To read more about this just do a search of "force tell tale" or "force pee hole" and you will see all the posts from people trying to find the pee hole that does not exist on force.

Re: pee hole?!?

You have no telltale on that motor.

THe one in the video had one added to it, as it says in the title.
