    1986 85hp force 856X6L no spark

    No spark all cylinders? Usually both packs don't go bad. More likely the stator is bad. Even new stator can be bad. You have a kill switch? Test that.

    I'm stumped, please help. 1996 40HP force outboard

    IF??? you have spark on both leads and it's nice and bright/sharp. Then something else is the problem. Recheck the fuel pump. Recheck the throat of the carb for obstructions(foam possibly).

    Reeds?

    Bad reeds: you can have blowby coming from the front of the carb or carbs. Snake camera. I bought a small flexible "snake" cam for my Android phone,,11$ on Ebay. The "snake" part is skinny enough to get by the flaps in the carbs so you can see the reeds.

    If the bottom cylinder works?? The fuel pump is operated from the top cyl. Check the pump and see if the diaphragm is bad???

    http://www.outboardignition.com/. The Prestolite stator is probably the OEM No fire on any cylinder: 1. Check the resistance from each blue to the yellow wires, you should read approximately 300 ohms. 2. Check the resistance from each blue and yellow wires to engine ground, you should read...

    Sneezing from underneath flywheel

    You sure it's coming from under the flywheel? Looks like it might be from the top port cover and not the flywheel???? On the top carb: where's the air screw set at? Under the pack(never saw one that looks like that) the top port cover(1 of 3) might have a blown gasket?? The gasket is thin and...

    Tillotson TC-5E float needle valve

    If it's running but running bad?? do the starting fluid test. Start and run at idle, spray SF around the intake side of the motor. Spray under the base of the carbs and under the pack/coils and around the 4 port covers, anywhere it might draw air into the motor. IF??? it makes the motor run/...

    Tillotson TC-5E float needle valve

    Years ago the factory service dept. issued a service bulletin. They suggested/said "set the air screws out at 1 turn and leave it there" I've never found that that would work. I had 4 1988 85hp and all liked the 1 and 1/8th turn out.

    Sealant for gearcase drive shaft and gear housing cap Shift shaft

    Just about anything you use will be ok. I use the High Tack. Google "gasket sealers" a bunch of them show. The first one is the old OMC sealer. I prefer that but thought it wasn't available???

    1989 85hp force won’t start

    The idle is set using the towershaft linkage. The "idle screws" are for the air/fuel mix at slow speed. The air screws are usually set at 1 to 1 1/8 turn out. Most will run at that setting, but some need to be set more open than that. One customer had his set at 3 turns out??? A "kick" or...

    1995 Force 120 will no longer idle

    The buzzer shouldn't sound when starting. Only when 12v is applied. If it buzzes when 12v is applied?? then it's doing the right thing. Should only sound when voltage is sent to it.

    Tillotson TC-5E float needle valve

    Going down too far in jets can cause a bunch of trouble. Running too lean,can make it run too hot and that can cause it to burn holes in the top of the pistons( did that on a motorcycle back in 1972, burned a 150$ hole in a piston. $150 in 1972 was a BUNCH of $$$.

    Sea-king Chrysler 15hp outboard motor does not start

    "spark looks good to you" ?? How did you test it? If you squeeze the ball and pump the bowl full that should be enough fuel to start the motor. You using the choke?

    1995 Force 120 will no longer idle

    YEA!!! sounds like your getting there. Another test: run the motor and get it hot, then running at full throttle turn the key off, don't throttle back just kill the motor, then pull the plugs and check the burn. Check for all 4 plugs being the same burn.

    Tillotson TC-5E float needle valve

    Granger might have needles?? Could this lead to a generally rich mixture and chronic fouling of plugs in a short period of time? Yes. It will allow excess fuel and make it run bad.
