    87 85 hp force

    IF? it won't start at 1 turn out: then it's sucking air somewhere??? Get it started, then spray starting fluid around the intake side of the motor, around the bases of the carbs, around/under the coils and power packs. If the spray makes any difference in the way it runs, then it's sucking air...

    199170 hp force only runs when fuel is sprayed in carb

    That show it's burning the fuel in the bowl and no more gets into the bowl. Check the needle seat and make sure the floats set right(see stickies at top) Sucking air: maybe the bulb, or the quick connect someplace in the line it might be sucking air? Bad seals?

    New motor

    Then that might be a good buy. The Yam uses only Yam shifters and their cable, wiring. Like I said, comp and spark tests.

    1994 Force 120 Thunderbolt ignition Tachometer hook up.

    9710A45, if it looks like this?? Then it's Mercury. CDI puts out a replacement, it looks like the Prestolite stator with a bunch of poles, but it's still a 12 pole. The second one is CDI 12p

    Water pump disaster on 4hp Force

    That's what I thought :( Lots of times the gasket between the carb and intake goes bad or the screws loose.

    New motor

    Location? salt water? Salt water use on a 40+ hours motor?? Myself I wouldn't buy as just about every bolt/screw will break off when turned. First thing do a compression test, then a spark test. Check gear oil for water. If it's new oil? then he might have changed it because of water. Oh yea...

    1991 Force 90hp starting problem

    The pump is from a newer model, they switched to Mercury in the early 90's. Maybe someone with an older model can post a few pics showing the old pump and the hoses to the pump. That hole with nothing hooked to it could be the problem with the backfiring??

    1991 Force 90hp starting problem

    The POP is a backfire, could be sucking air somewhere??? Most times the port covers gaskets get blown out when it backfires, Spray starting fluid around the intake side (under the bottom carb and under the packs/coils and if this makes a difference in the way it runs> then it's sucking air...

    1994 Force 120 Thunderbolt ignition Tachometer hook up.

    The Mercury ignition system doesn't use a 20 pole, that was for the older Prestolite ignition. Needs a 12p Mercury tach(I think)

    Water pump disaster on 4hp Force

    Idle down: choke needed?? Remote tank?? Check the fuel pump diaphragm, then do a starting fluid test, start motor, spray SF around the intake side and see if that makes a difference in the way it runs? If it makes a difference? then it's sucking air somewhere.

    Tilt & Trim - how to release pressure

    No pressure release. Undo the front hyd. line. There might be a lot of pressure when you undo the line. You'll probably need to remove the line to be able to lift the motor. Block it up, then tie it up using a rope . VERY DANGEROUS!!!!!

    1990 Force 90 HP isn’t getting gas to spark plugs

    You holding the key in as you turn it over? The key needs to be held in, not just pushed and released. You have the old style choke or the newer primer system? What's the compression?? Spark on all 4?

    CHRYSLER 105 HP

    Having trouble turning it over: low compression on one or more cyl, the gears in lower rusted, timing way off, bad/weak battery, bad battery cable, bad connection???? First thing I'd do is a compression test. IF??? the compression is good?(all 4 within 5-10# of each other).Then get a factory...

    1991 Force 90hp starting problem

    In the Force forum: look for these posts. Should be in the first posts in this forum. Remember there's NOTHING inside the pump that you can fix!!! Don't try to adjust or look inside the pump, chances are you'll be replacing the pump. The valves for up and down need replacing, see directions...
