    Exhaust Gasket Leak

    Hello, so I had a guy look at my older engine and he gave list of things, mostly minor, that need to be repaired, carbs, a new CD box, but he also said there was an exhaust gasket leak. I am having trouble finding this in my engine manual and online. Could anyone point me in the right...

    1991 120hp Force Outboard Tilt/Trim

    I noticed my til/trim cannot hold my outboard up. I can trim up but after a couple of minutes the engine will sink back down. Any thoughts or ideas on repair for this? I am a novice when it comes to this type of repair. Thanks.

    Odd reverse problem

    Starting off, 1991 Force 120 HP outboard, with a recently rebuilt lower unit including a new clutch dog. The issue is when you first start the engine ( cold start) and put it into reverse, the engine rev's up, but it does not engage the gears at all ( reverse only, forward is fine). After the...

    Force 1991 120hp low speed problems

    Having a problem with a 1991 Force 120 HP. The engine seems to run great at higher speeds, however when you throttle down for say a no wake area, the engine begins to run very rough, with an almost knocking sound coming from it. The engine will begin to drop off until it almost stalls out. This...

    Force 120 Outboard Reverse Trouble

    I have a 1991 Froce 120HP Outboard that is having some reverse issue. When I first shift into reverse the engine just rev's, as if it is not going into gear. The engine works fine in forward gear, and after running in forward if you shift into reverse, it will catch and go into reverse. The...

    I have a 1992, Force Outboard 120HP. The engine will run fine at WOT for about 2 min, then begin to bogg down before dying. I noticed the primer bulb is fully deflated, and when it is manually pumped, the engine will run fine. The fuel pump and carbs are brand new, compression test was good at...

    1992 Force stalling out

    Greetings, a while ago I posted about my 1992 Force 120HP Outboard stalling out when throttled up. I took it in for repair and it was found that the floats in the carbs were wrong ( which makes little sense since they were the original parts). I got the boat back after some more work including...
