    1988 Force 35hp backfired and wont run now

    You said: Then it idled way up, backfired, and stopped running. The flywheel key would be suspect until you said it ran again. One last symptom i noticed is smoke coming from under the cowl near the mounts after it ran for a few seconds. And I'm at a total loss as to what that can be. It...

    Hints for setting idle mix on 1989 Force 85hp

    The factory in 1989-90 produced a bulletin about the air screws settings. They said set the screws at 1 turn out and leave them there. Unfortunately not all motors can run at that setting :( My twin 88 85's seemed to work good at that setting, some won't run unless they're out 3 turns. Start...

    Tilt trim switch wiring

    The choke doesn't usually go bad. The connections??? All it takes is a 7/16 wrench and a helper to activate the switch. If it's getting power you can use a jumper to supply voltage while you adjust it.

    Help motor only running on primer!!

    I'd take the fuel pump apart. One kit to rebuild the carb about 10$ depending on where you get it?? There's one gasket under the FP cover that's NLA s don't mess it up. The seals in the hose/connector and connector on the motor can crack and suck air. GASKET/DIAPHRAGM SET 818043A1 for 9 and 15

    If the carbs clear and the jets clean then I'd check the fuel pump. You say primer you mean the squeeze ??

    Volvo Penta aq125a

    Sounds like the coils getting hot and shutting down. The condenser could be the problem too. How hot does the coil get? you should be able to hold your finger on it while running.

    Tilt trim switch wiring

    The choke doesn't usually need adjusting, most times just a good cleaning. Carb cleaner right on the slide as you "manually" slide it in and out. Then a bit of thin oil on the slide.

    Tilt trim switch wiring

    The green wire on the buss bar is the choke. Test light?? Have someone at the key and activate using the test light. The T@T doesn't go to the buss bar. There should be 2 breakers on the 85 wiring system. One for the T@T the other for the motor. Carb cleaner in the choke, on the slide and then...
