Is this OKay? Just till the nut gets tight and the lock tabs are in place? I don't see how I can get the prop to hold still to do a slow torque on it with my torque wrench unless I do it with the boat in gear and I'd rather not do that. Also what can happen if I go to far down and compress...
Greetings. Havn't posted for a while and got the boat out of storage.
I decided to change the lower oil today.
I took out the 3 plugs I had. Vent, Oil level/fill, and drain.
The unit was all the way down and I drained it. Gear oil is nasty stuff and I let it drain for about 20 minutes...
Symptoms.....
Stalling at idle or idle in gear.
Would not go past 2400rpm at WFO.
Bogging and rough running.
Here's what I did myself...
Cleaned the carbs, cleaned the plugs, checked spark, checked for fuel, rebuilt the fuel pump, compression check, (135 #1 145 #2-4)
Still baffled I decided...
I hate this slock or whatever manual I have to work on my force 120. It dosn't show crap for pictures and the pictures it does show are ones that arn't my application...
Is there anyone out there that makes an interactive manual. When I used to be a mechanic we had a program called alldata...

Okay there are 2 wires hanging off the ignition box. Where do they go? they arn't hooked to anything. Its the picture that has a red circle.
I'm trying to get my 2500rpm "limited bog" figured out. I cleaned the plugs and did a compresison...
Hey guys just wondering what the part numbers are on carb rebuild kits. I have a force 120 1996 so I'd need 2 kits. Also a fuel pump rebuild kit.
Is it cheaper to just by new carbs and a fuel pump or is it better/cheaper to rebuild them?
I'm trying to chase down my stupid issues i've been...
I have a 1996 Maxum.
It had a stalling problem when I first took it out on the lake. I used the service manual the previous owner included and reset the idle. Still didn't really fix it. I sea foamed it and it ran much better. Then I tried taking the carbs off and cleaning them.
Well now...
