    Not going over 2 rpms

    Like racer said 2rpm's =2000 That could be: the stator, the fuel pumps or something in the fuel system, Oil system shutting it down. ??

    Motor stalls in neutral

    IF??? the ball stays soft: the primer is bad, the fuel pump is bad, the float might be stuck or the squeezie is bad, bad connection somewhere? Stalling? low rpms, or there's an exhaust leak? try running with the cover off?

    Yamaha 2004 150 carb

    The gauges are unreadable :( The alarm shuts off when you bring it back to idle, then it can be ran back up to speed. Something resets in the system and the alarm stops and it can be ran fast again. The motor slows down then the throttle is pulled back then the alarm stops and it can be sped up...

    IF??? the block is originally painted blue then it's not a 86 Blue blocks started in 87, maybe he painted it?? Look on the block under the ignition panel, there should be a foundry stamp with the year in the center also on the bottom of the intake manifold under the bottom hole is another...

    The motor runs great (mostely) , new impeller, thermo's,plugs,etc Running for about 1 mi. and then alarm sounds off and goes into limp mode(?) Back to idle and then it can be ran up again.

    Force 125 1986, hole in front of lower unit weeping oil

    I believe the 2 piece driveshaft started when they introduced the L-drive(h#$$ drive) in 89? Then in 90-91 they started using the same gears in all three drives 90-120-150

    70s force 70... No reaction from key

    Test the lower before you do a lot. Hook up a battery, shift the gears and have someone turn the prop and see if it goes into gear. These electric gear boxes can be a bigger nightmare. If it works? keep an eye on the oil, water's is not a good thing, salt water is a killer. Oh yea takes a...

    Fouling spark plugs

    Compression: cold motor, get another gauge, remove all the plugs and advance the throttle to wide open, spin the motor until the gauge stops going up. Then do it again on a hot motor. Post the results?? Myself I've not heard compression is a cause of carbon build up? I have experienced cheapo...

    Grinding Noise in US Marine Control Box Force 125

    Grinding Noise in US Marine Control Box Force 125

    You said it yourself" when I shift fast it doesn't grind" Your not supposed to "ease" it into gear. Smooth even pressure, quickly push the handle into gear. Slow will make the grinding noise. Then if it still grinds? you need to adjust the linkage. If the screw holes are stripped? then you need...
