    Reeds?

    Nordin gave you most of the directions for the test. Go for a ride, run the motor get it good and hot, then run at wide open for a few minutes, then at wide open, just turn the key off. Don't throttle back or shift to N. Kill the engine then pull the plugs and check the burn. Throttling back...

    Force 85 hp control cable questions

    Make sure the shifter is in Neutral and the gear box is too. Then install the shift cable. The throttle cable: Shifter in Neutral. Towershaft: depending on the connector used? there's 2 available. One has a spring inside the other no. No spring: hook up everything and as you put the connector...

    Ugly Impeller

    That's nothing to worry about. Some Mercury WP kits come with a rubber seal/boot that fits right at that spot.

    1986 85hp force 856X6L no spark

    I have never split one. My luck, if one went bad I could just swap them around and the spark would be back :) They're set up so you can use the first side and then the second side. But the second side won't work unless the first side is being used( hope you understood that) The following link is...

    1986 85hp force 856X6L---Oil Plug retap

    Over the years of owning lots of Forces, this spot caused the most aggravation. It would weep oil no matter what I did to seal it. I tried paste sealers(plumbers goo) thread tape and a few others. Never really did fid a way. My thoughts on Anti-seize, Yes use it. In salt water it doesn't work as...

    What I posted was the values for a CDI stator. The OEM are much higher than the CDI. I believe(not positive) the OEM is around 800. I'd have to get my service manual out to double check.

    Spanner wrench

    Unfortunately your not gonna find a new wrench. :( Someone selling one on Ebay is another that's not gonna happen either. You can cut the old ring out and replace it?? Making a tool from pipe stock could be the answer. Look for video's on how to make it. Google the following: A whole bunch of...

    79 Chrysler 115 Won't go into gear

    Undo the shift cable and shift by hand and see if it works better? Possible bad shift cable or the shift shaft is corroded/corrosion and locks in place.

    Under the cowl, there's a tag with the Model# and Serial# Post those #s along with the compression reading. A Chrysler 115 hp outboard motor is a discontinued model that was produced in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It was eventually sold to U.S. Marine, who rebranded the line as Force...

    Yup just like I said!!

    what motors are compatible with the 88 125 force?

    If the starters still on??? do a compression test. Jumper cables probably won't supply enough amperage to do a good test, hook to a battery. On the block under the ignition components is a foundry stamp with the year marked in the center. The white is 1986 and older. Blac/blue is 97 and up. The...

    One for the tilt lock mechanism. The center of the swivel bracket/steering arm has another. You'd think there would be more???.

    The whole trigger doesn't usually go bad. Try swapping the packs around? Check the flywheel key to see if it's sheared.
