    Chrysler 65hp clutch dog problem

    Try to clean it the best you can, sandblasting and powder coating works. Just make sure the bearing is out of the carrier and doesn't pick up sand or you'll be fixin something else.

    Low Compression on Cylinder #2

    I pay 40$ for 1 hole, 80$ for 4. Have to pay for setup the extra holes are easy after initial setup. Not sure where you are and the local costs??? First you need to figure out why the #2 went bad? OR??? you'll be redoing the motor again. Could have been sucking air somewhere? Lots of times one...

    Low Compression on Cylinder #2

    What came first the chicken or the broken ring?? Who knows?? The damage is bad enough it needs a bore job, might get away with .010 maybe as much as .020?? The people at the machine shop will be able to say. But I'd really think about a different motor, these 70hp with the single carb are famous...

    New issue on the 105 water pump. Gearcase issue.

    Should have added: sometimes all it takes is 1 turn on the connector on the cable to make it work right.

    Low Compression on Cylinder #2

    I looked for the video and all I could find was 2 but neither covered the one you want to see. Possible he didn't make one for that??? Sorry He posted about it in this forum, maybe use the search function. One thing he stressed was make sure you count the bearings as you take them out and...

Just be careful and watch for dropped bearings, some come in a cage some don't. Also the under the pack and electronics are the port covers(3) you can remove the center one...

    Force 1989 125 question

    The trigger shows the wires but in a real trigger the wires all come from one spot. CDI sells a trigger with just 4 wires all coded. Trial and error, to get the right ones.

    Force 1986 85hp

    Do a compression and then a spark test(check each cylinder) post the results. You using the fast idle in the shifter? Starting procedures? A tiny bit of starting fluid won't hurt.

    Low Compression on Cylinder #2

    The motor you have was one of the worst Mercury/Force put out. The single carb feeding 3 pistons was a problem from the beginning. I'd try to sell the parts, you'll get more for the pieces than selling outright. Fixing? around 1200$ just a wait and see when/if it breaks again.

Mark the hub and go for a ride, then check the marks and see if the hubs spun. ANY!! prop repair shop should be able to rehub your prop. If not you can do it...

    Chrysler 65hp clutch dog problem

    "as far as I can tell there's no adjusting forward gear in relation to the pinion gear" That's measured and set by shims under the bearing cup for the pinion gear. Get the factory service manual, you don't need the exact year, just something close. You WILL need special tools to shim the pinion...
