    Top 2 cylinders are not firing on Force 125

    Engine will not go above 2800 RPM. I pulled the top 2 plug wires and there is no difference in engine idle. However if I pull any other wire it dies. <br /><br />1. How often do those ignition wires go bad I think they may be original?<br />2. Could it be a carberator problem?

    Can a bent propeller be bent back?

    How to Connect Shift Rod on Lower Unit, 89-125hp

    I removed the lower unit last fall and now I have a problem. I reinstalled everything but I forget how the shift rod connects up. It sits vertical with a hole for a pin. Then the linkage that connects the throttle comes down and is shaped like an "L". Am I missing a part here? <br />
