    ‘86 125 Force 2 cycle ran without oil

    Like Racer said, Compression test? They sell snake cams for the new smart phones. $11 for the one that fits my Android. Or pull the plugs and see if you can feel any damage with a long skinny screwdriver??

    Float valve needle 1989. 85hp

    I looked for the needle, no luck.(I moved a while back and can't find anything) The wire isn't necessary but it helps with sticky/gummy parts.

    120HP Force being smothered on exhaust fumes at idle

    Something else that just came to me: on some drives there's a block that goes across the top of the gear housing it's about 2-3" wide x 1/2"tall x 1/4" thick it's silicone'd in place and blocks excess exhaust from going back up to the cowl.

    New NGK BR8HS plugs improve overall performance

    I ran my twin 88/85hp with Champion, NGK and Autolite The Autolite didn't seem to last the Champion would last forever if I left them in. Changed them mostly out of guilt, thinking I should change them every year or 2 One time I let them go for 5+ years and when replaced they were still in...

    1991 ?? Mercury Force - Fuel streaming from prop while priming

    You can double up the diaphragms if worried about rupture. Bought a boat with twin 88/85hp Forces. BOTH motors had double diaphragms. The old owner said he was an avid offshore fisherman, as much as 80-100 mi off shore. He wanted to make sure the pumps didn't fail????

    Bad plug wire- 89 force 85hp

    The butterflies don't have to be horizontal at full throttle. They can actually go past that at full throttle. What's the compression readings? low comp and the motor wouldn't start or be real hard starting. IF??? you get 4300 then the motors not "tired" I'd get a "tiny tach" and see what the...

    FUEL PUMP orafices: 3/8" vs 5/16" 1996 FORCE 75hp

    The 85/125/150hp used 1/4" hoses from the factory. I changed from the twin 88/85hp. they used a 1/4" hose for both motors and supply line from the tank also 1/4" changed to a 225 hp EFI and it ran good with the 1/4" hose. But be careful when Ethanol fuel is used. The E screws with the regular...

    Lack of power

    IF?? you suspect the pack??? then the only way to test is to swap the packs around and see if the no spark follows the pack. The no fire on #2 is usually the stator or the trigger. The trigger wires are very thin and can break under the shrinkwrap on the connector. I replace them all just in...

    #4 cyl no fuel

    I don't think any Chryslers except the 50hp or lower used the #4 or bottom piston to run the fuel pump. Usually #2 on a 3cyl. or #3 on a 4cyl. Some bigger 140/150 could have 2 pumps utilizing #2 #3 cyl.

    Bad plug wire- 89 force 85hp

    MAYBE??? the tach is set wrong? Look at the back and see where the black arrow is set?? But a 1000rpm drop could be a coil, stator, diaphragm etc.

    Volvo Penta aq125a grinding noise

    No gimbal bearing, they have a drive shaft bearing. Lot different that the Gimbal replacement. The V-8 drive shaft replacement is way harder to replace than the 4cyl.

    Vp aq125a aq270

    These 125/130 Volvo's need the factory prop for best performance. These 125's need the VOLVO prop. The aftermarket ones are ok for the bigger motors not the 4cyl. Volvo's . Prop story: one of my friends had a 22ft. with a 125 He asked me to look at it as he was having trouble with acceleration...

    Carb leaking gas from top two holes 1989 85hp

    The kit, be real careful when trying to "fix" or install any of these parts. Some kits have a seat in them and some carbs, the seat won't come out??

    Proper Fuel water separator for a 125 ho Force

    ANY one will work, the ones with the clear bowl will make you happy!! Just finding a location will be tough?? Then install a small particle filter between the pump and the carbs. Fram G-2 G-3 G-12 works well.

    Starter and choke issue

    The shaft or armature bends from excessive use. Also if the bottom mounting bracket is missing it leads to bent a shaft. A tiny bit of oil or thin grease on the worm gear after cleaning might help don't get too much on it or the rubber in the bendix slips and is useless.. These starters are easy...
