    1990 Force 120HP #2 Cyl zero compression and upon opening piston shows damage

    Just brief contact with a magnet will magnetize the bearings and they inturn will pickup any metal shavings and that will cause them to fail. I thought that was BS but the factory manual warns against it.

    Trim Blown: Had to tap on cylinder to make it come up. Blew the bottom ... Now What?

    Force 85 HP tilt/trim model no.

    The pic show the manual Tilt lock. The lock #45 should be gone if you have T@T #4 should be used if trailering but you should tie the motor down so it doesn't bounce around. The loose motor can bounce up and down and the pressure can blow the shuttle valves and the motor can leak down(happened...

    Force 85 HP tilt/trim model no.

    If you look at the first 5-6 posts in the Force forum you'll find a bunch of info on the T@T The pic that Topgun posted shows 1 of 2 different valves. The second (older style) is held in by snap rings. HOPE that yours is the newer style, much easier to work on. Remember: there's nothing in the...

    '88 85hp vs '85 and '86 125hp compatibility

    Nordin said it. The test(you) was faulty, bad gauge. You can change the packs and coils, you'll need to cut the ends off and use butt connectors. They say the blue and black shouldn't be paired together but I never had a problem. The main difference in the 85/125 is the extra cylinder. They use...

    125 force cant find serial & model numbers.

    Very rare that all 4 coils go bad. In fact since 1986 I have seen only 1 coil that was bad. The 125 , Blue paint used the same pack and coils. as the 120 from 1987 to 1993 Standard ignition has cheaper prices. outboardignitiondotcom has test procedures. Good luck, put up your own post and add as...

    1993 pontoon boat with a 40 hp Force.

    MAYBE??? It sounds like the primer/choke might be defective? Just because you hear a click doesn't mean it's working. The "click" is the primer opening and allowing a quick shot of fuel to enrich the system and making it easier to start. The primer has a diaphragm that can go bad and leak...

    Force 85 HP tilt/trim model no.

    The 1989 T@T didn't come with a model or serial number it came as part of the engine package. If the "new" pump isn't working right??? Send it BACK. There's nothing you can do to it to fix it. NOTHING!! The only thing you can do to one of these pumps is to change the tiny red seals, these seals...

    Force 70hp New trim motor

    IF the pump is new?? Then it's probably bad. Famous Chinese JUNK!!! What system do you have? Pictures?? They made 4-5 different systems and procedures for filling are many.

    1995 Force 120 no water pumping through powerhead

    No such thing as salt deposits washing away. There are some things that will help dissolve them. Big bucket: couple gallons of vinegar and box of baking soda. Run the mix through and let it set. Run it and repeat 4-5 times. That might help, maybe not. The one sure way is take it apart and use a...

    1993 Force 50hp 2cyl 2 stroke What in the Jerry Riggin'?

    Looks like someone adapted a newer Mercury ignition. outboardignition.com for testing the systems. By the way: it's Jury Rigged, Not Jerry

    1995 Force 120 no water pumping through powerhead

    Pull the lower unit. The impeller shouldn't be soft and pliant. Replace it. Everyone I have seen(hundreds) is stiff and not easy to install. Old piece of hose, cut off end and run the hose up the pickup tube and run it. Running in a bucket: the bucket needs to be DEEEP at least 4" over the...
