    Force/U S Marine 15 hp won't start

    He probably used starting fluid on it??? When looking at any boat/motor I always tell the seller to don't start it until I get there. When I get there I touch the motor to see if it's hot. If it is I walk away. It could be a good motor but the owner's hiding something.

    Force/U S Marine 15 hp won't start

    1987 If it runs for 15 seconds? then quits, that sounds like a fuel delivery problem. The fuel line where it goes into the motor, that connector has a rubber seal that goes bad and allows the motor to suck air and die. Another problem might be the float in the carb isn't set right and runs...

    Oil leak

    Do a pressure test, the most pressure is 15# A modified tire pump does a good job, most new pumps have a gauge.

    1987 Force 50 Model B

    I see the paper towel wrapped around it and wonder if it's been a problem? The factory doesn't use paper towels for anything?? Wonder why it has a diaper??

    Tilt trim

    It should be self bleeding. In needs to have the oil added while the motor is down, adding when up can push the oil up into the electric motor. Just running it up and down will clear the air. If it's a new pump?? it might not be any good :( The crap from china is horrible and 50% of the time...

    87 force 85hp choke plunger

    Loosen the 7/16 bolt and activate the switch and move the solenoid till it brings the slide as far as it will go. The butterflies need to close all the way.

    Oil leak

    Did you put the seal/s in backwards or was there a groove on the shaft where the seal sets? Pressure test? I bought a Ryobi tire compressor, it had an attachment that works great for adding air to the lower to help check for leaks. Soapy water in a spray bottle on the area's where it might leak.

    1987 Force 50 Model B

    That is a points system. File the points before you do anything else. That one coil(white/top) shows that it might be a problem. Those coils are fairly expensive.

    1987 Force 50 Model B

    The 87 B came with points. Maybe someone changed things around? Make sure they are clean and making a good contact. That motor might have a kill switch in the system.

    1987 Force 50 Model B

    outboardignitiondotcom has test procedures for your motor. Just replacing the stator might help then again might not??? Check for broken wires and terminals, especially inside the plastic plug-in connectors. We recommend that you remove the pins from the connectors and visually inspect them...

    1990 50HP Force Starts but won’t stay running

    Cold or hot shouldn't make much difference. You remove both plugs when doing the test? They sell snake camera's for most new phones, 16$ ebay Get pics of the bore from the low cylinder. Might just be a bad head gasket????

    1990 50HP Force Starts but won’t stay running

    Welcome!!!! Sounds like the floats not set right or the needle is locked in place(closed), take the carb apart and check the floats level. There's a bunch of things that can help in the first few posts in this forum. Read them and see if you can find how to set the float??

    Chrysler engine overheating

    The old impeller, did it come out complete? or were the vanes missing? Missing vanes, they get to the bottom of the motor and clog there and that causes an overheat?? Drop the lower unit, hook a hose direct to the tube to the motor. Turn it on and start it and see if it gets hot then. No?? then...

    1990 Force 50 HP Bearing Cage Kit Replacement

    Nordins right, the shredded rubber is the driveshaft cover that fits on the end of the shaft. Grease the splines but no grease on the end of the shaft. You said" I took a few pictures. It looks like that rubber seal came from the drive shaft under the water pump. There's a spring showing where...
