    force 125 fuel mixture

    I recently rebuilt a force 125 and it seems to run great, but the boat is not all that fast, I believe i have the timing correct. I have been mixing the gas 20:1 to brake it in. would a mixture this rich rob me of a ton of performance?

    Recent force 125 rebuild odd findings.

    I recently rebuilt a force 125 that had one cylinder overbore, that cylinder failed for some reason. I don't believe setting all the carbs as normal manual spec would cause a .20 over overbore to run too lean. I don't believe it was sucking air anywhere, so I am not sure what caused it. I...

    1989 FORCE 125head bolt torque spec odd wording

    It seems like the final 225 in-lb in the manual procedure is a bit lower then you would expect. What does the manual mean when it says 225 + 5 in-lb? why not just say 230 in-lb?

That being said I am now looking for a new cover, screens and check valves if anyone...
