Greetings fellow boaters. I hope your boating season is going well. I need some help as I can't find my answer. I have attached two pictures of my 1990 Sunbird 194. The red gelcoat that's above and below the rub rail was extremely faded. I tried compound, wax, wet sand up to 2000 grit and I...
Re: 1990 Force 120hp Starter is/going bad?
Jiggz, thanks for the knowledge regarding starting and deep cycle batteries. I connected the battery directly to the starter with no change. Cranked very slowly.
Jerry, I cleaned every single connection from battery, to solenoid, to starter prior...
Greetings all. I have a 1990 Force 120hp and sometimes when I turn the engine over it cranks like the battery is going dead, even when I have my 50amp engine starter hooked up. The battery is a Marine deep cycle battery, 650 cold cranking amps, it was bought new in February and it's fully...
Greetings all. I have a 1990 Force 120hp which runs quite well on the ears. I removed the plugs to see what they look like and #'s 3 and 4 are clean. Left to right are plugs 1-4 respectively. Compression was #1 120psi, #2 115psi, #3 115psi, #4 120psi and all 4 produce a fat blue spark across...
Hello gentlemen, I have a similar problem that another fellow boater had posted yesterday but my problem seams a little different.
I have either a 1990 or 1991 Force 120 (no model number) with I can only assume a older Chrysler control box and the carb butterflies are not fully open at WOT and...
Re: Please help with motor year identification
Jerry, this is what I found when I removed the mid section cover I can't cross this number to anything. While looking closely again I found this number 0000094 stamped onto the powerhead, port side aft next to the head but I couldn't cross that...
Re: Please help with motor year identification
Attached is a pic of the outdrive and also I removed the packs again and this is the only number that I found which seams to be the part number of the powerhead.
Hello gentlemen. I hope your boating season is going well. I just acquired a 120 Force that I'm not sure which year. The gentlemen that I got the motor from said that they stern bracket was replaced by the previous owner with a 150 so the model tag is incorrect. Thanks for your time.
Greetings everyone, I hope your boating season is safe and successful. This afternoon I removed both back seats on either side of the outboard and the interior panels on both port and stbd sides with the plan to replace the wood, foam and vinyl. In the first pic the long panels are the ones in...
Good evening gentlemen,
I have '93 J115TLETS with 13"x19" prop on a 19'4" Sunbird Cuddy Cabin. I'm currently troubleshooting a fuel issue. Thinking my anti-siphon valve was bad I put a straight fitting on the gas tank and I took the boat out for a test run. I was running at WOT at 5400-5500...
Greetings,
I have a VJ115TLETS with 13"x19 pitch prop on a 19' 4" Sunbird Cuddy and yesterday while I was taking the boat out for a test run the engine ran pretty good on a couple of passes then it started to bog and wouldn't go above 3000 rpm or so and the engine would cut off and would hard...
Good evening gentlemen,
I have a J200STLEI that I just recently purchased. Before I bought it I watched it start, idle, and rpms run up but the guy said that the timing needs to be adjusted. As I was waiting for my factory service manual to come in I attempted the Joe Reeves WOT timing...
Good evening, in a previous thread I started a few days ago I was asking about my steering cable and tilt tube. Come to find out I do not have a steering tube and it was recommended that I buy and install one. So I bought one using part # 0915118 (item 103) from Evinrude referencing my model...
