    Force 125 88’ won’t run

    Your video.....looks like not enough water in your bucket.....needs to at least be over the cavitation plate or use proper muffs on the hose. Hard to tell but you may have been running it dry. Gotta make sure water is flowing or it will overheat and damage your engine.

    Yeah, that's just an owner's manual....not much info in there for diagnostics or repair. Wouldn't hurt to check the timing....the service manual will tell you how to do it, in detail. Covers all the major systems. Worth the money.

    Take a look at the table of contents on the one you have and the one I posted.....no comparison. Even the pros have manuals, and use them. And 55 bucks is cheap compared to the hourly rate at most shops. (y)

    That idle screw looks kinda worn, don't think that would keep it from starting. Yes, the timing could be off if the PO was jacking with it.....could also be a sheared flywheel key. The only way to know is to check it and see. Take a look at that thread I mentioned about the lync n...

    Yes, floats should be level or even with the carb body when turned upside down.....10 turns out on the idle screws is waaay too much. Try 1 1/2 turns out from lightly seated. Sounds like this motor was in a non-running condition when you got it? There is no telling what the PO did to this...

    When you had the carbs off did you check the floats to see if they were adjusted right? And how many turns out did you use on the low speed/idle screws?

    Oilly, you say you changed the fuel pump gasket.....did you put in a new diaphragm too? Does the primer bulb get hard when you squeeze it?
