    1989 85hp removed lower gear pivot screw

    Might get lucky and get it back in.......but most have had to take the gear box apart to fix it. Long ago I had a screwdriver on that screw, thinking it was the drain plug.....but figured it out before screwing the pooch. Many have done it.....not the end of the world....just a lot of extra work.

    ‘76 90hp Head cover sealing…

    No gasket for the cover....have used Permatex Optimum Grey with good results.....opinions vary on type of RTV to use.

    1972 Chrysler 85, Tolletson carburetor tuning

    That link I posted is probably the most important one on this forum......it's not a video and is easier to follow......ten steps to success. I keep a printed copy in my factory manual for easy reference. My manual says to set timing at 32 degrees.....the 30 degree setting came about to...

    1972 Chrysler 85, Tolletson carburetor tuning

    That link I posted is called a "link n sync".....it gives an orderly method of setting up the carbs and timing.....I would follow that post to the letter in the order given. It sets up the engine to achieve good idle and full rated RPM. (y) To find 30 degrees you can get a new timing sticker...

    1983 Force 50 hp Parts

    If you have part numbers, look on ebay....you might find a parts manual for your motor there too. If not, marineengine.com and Crowley have exploded parts diagrams with most part numbers listed and they carry some of the parts. Franz marine is a good source for parts and info...as well as...

    Questions about trims

    I see this is the second time the floor has rotted. Putting a new deck over rotten structure is cosmetic at best. I would drill some core samples in the stringers and transom just to be sure. If the wood shavings come out dark and wet....you got rot. If light colored and dry, probably ok...

    Questions about trims

    You might check MasterTech marine or Franz Marine for a new motor....doubt that one you have is any good.

    Questions about trims

    I would bet that motor is toast......also, if the boat is the same year as the engine, 1976, and been sitting outside uncovered for 47 years, with a rotten floor.....then the stringers and transom are probably rotten too. Assuming this is an old fiberglass boat....they rot from the bottom...

    Questions about trims

    Was it sitting outside uncovered with the cap like that? Looks really corroded in that pic.......https://forums.iboats.com/threads/awakening-a-sleeping-outboard-by-boatbuoy.158032/ Check out this link for the rest of the motor, since it sat for 27 years.

    This is a pic of the main nozzle part#F016133....it's threaded so it screws out. It may be corroded in there pretty good....

    1999 force 40hp will not start

    Be careful trying to remove that main nozzle. If you bugger it up you might have to get a new carb. What is your idle mixture screw set at? And do you have a factory manual?

    1999 force 40hp will not start

    Did you take the carb off, take it apart, clean it real good, set the float, etc? What setting did you use for the needle? Since it will start momentarily by adding fluid down the throat it seems like the carb is restricted. Any fuel that was in the tank before topping off was definitely bad...

    No water from tell tale

    I would start by dropping the LU and checking the water pump and replacing the impeller. If the housing is in bad shape replace it too. Especially since you just got the motor and it's history is probably unknown.

    Chrysler 30hp impeller

    Those are the correct part numbers.....not sure why they don't fit your motor. Might give Franz Marine a call in the morning. Tell him what you got and he should have a solution.
