Ok folks - Is it time for a rebuild engine? <br /><br />Setup - months ago I replaced the stator which solved many intermittent speed dropout problems for me. Boat has been running great ever since. However, after water skiing today when I slowed the boat down I heard an absolutely UGLY metal...
I have the Seloc manual for this motor and it indicates that the stator resistance for the low speed stator should be between 5500 and 6200 ohms. I am currently measuring 3200 with my Fluke. I am reasonably convinced I have a LS stator problem since I have erratic idling (great when cold...
The force engine has a small (approx 1/8") hose that connects from the cylinder drain cover to the intake manifold for each cylinder.<br /><br />If this was plugged or the check value failed - does anyone understand the effect it would have? Could this account for an engine with the following...
I suspect this is a timing problem, but not sure what to do next.<br /><br />The problem: Engine starts great and easy. Runs in gear up to 2000+ RPM - no problem. If I advance the throttle slowly through 3000 RPMS's - it will normally stall. Note - normally means about 70% of the time and it...
Simple Question: I'm setting the timing of my 1993 Force 90 by cranking. After connecting all the spark plug leads to my spark tester to avoid damaging the CD units, my question is should the spark plugs be left in or out? Obviously the starter will crank the engine must faster with the plugs...
