1989 125 hp Force Outboard. What would (most likely) cause the #1 and #3 cylinders to fire weak or not fire at all. I've seen this asked several times while searching the different forums, but I haven't been able to determine exactly what causes the problem or in my case solve it so far and my...
1989 125 Force Spark Problem!
Cylinders 1 and 3 have a constant but weak spark and the motor is misfiring on those cylinders.
Cylinders 2 and 4 have a constant strong spark at all times.
I changed out the stator with a new one when I first got the boat a few summers ago and that didn't help...
I'm useing "polyester resin" to do the fiberglass work on the gunwales of my boat and have run out of time for finishing the glass work by the 4th due to work and other things.

How are the triggers made up on Force outboard motors?
Is there any oil sealed inside or is it wiring only or both?

This is a boat that started out as a 20 foot cuddy cabin that had set for about 12 years, the deck had rotted but the stringers and transom seemed to be in good condition.
I first converted the cuddy to a bowrider and after a couple years I decided to convert the boat to a center console!

What's the best way to remove a stuck gasket on a Force outboard motor?
Removed the fuel recirculation system covers on my 125 Force to clean the screens and a partial layer of the bottom gasket stuck to the engine surface. The top came off clean, the one easy to get to.
The aluminum is soft and...
