    1978 Chrysler 85HP Powerhead Swap

    Why a port cover leaks. One TINY TINY cough, or a huge backfire and what ever cyl the backfire was on will probably blow the gasket. The only way to see that is loosen the packs/coils and hold a cigarette or propane torch around the cover and see if the smoke get sucked in or blown away...

    1977 Chrysler 10hp 100HA exhaust cover specs

    Around 90 in. lb. The trouble with just putting the cover back on is the edges need squaring up. Or milled if possible. When the factory made the motor it was all sharp/square edges and the gaskets just seemed to fit better. Plus once it was made and ran for a few minutes it set for a time, up...

    Low Compression on Cylinder #2

    Have the shop tell you if it needs a bore or a hone. The middle piston(if I read right) was the bad hole and needs the bore job. You don't need to do all 3 holes unless they're damaged. There are lots of 3 and 4 cyl Forces running around with 1 over sized piston. On the Eastern Shore of Va. is a...

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

    The only problem I see is the broken rubber bellows. They don't make them anymore and finding one would be a miracle!! A while back someone posted abut a replacement part, try the search function? The rubber bellows was only used for a short time in 1989/90 then the end of 90 they realized it...

    Water in gear oil

    Some more: some drain plugs come with plastic seals, or crush washers. They are a single use item. Use one time and discard. You might get away with reusing? but again is that the time it's gonna fail? The fabric/felt washers work real good in place of the plastic. These can be reused, just turn...

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

    I use the compressor with an air nozzle. Take the drive off, soapy water in a spray bottle. TINY!!! bursts of air and spray the leak points. Lok on Google for home made pressure testers.

    Water in gear oil

    NO AMOUNT OF WATER IS ACCEPTABLE!!! White or foamy oil is water. If the first thing that comes out is water or white/tan/brown oil. Then good oil follows? that shows the drain plug is probably the culprit? I had 4 different 88/85 Forces. All 4 weeped around the drain plug. Almost everything I...

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

    Don't listen to everyone who gives you feedback. Some have no clue and just use the WAG system for diagnosis. You need to remove the lower, drain the oil and do a pressure test before you go and do a reseal job on the lower unit. When the lowers off, remove the pump and check and see if there's...
