    Replacing force motor with newer Mercury- questions

    Pontoon, probably won't notice much difference. The shifter might or might not work? That depends on the shift linkage. Your lower unit is it a 3 or 6 jaw reverse?? As I understand it, the 3 jaw is set up for the older Force shift and the 6 is for the Mercury linkage.

    89 Force 125 won’t rev and bucks

    Spark check each cylinder as you drive in the water. Can be hard to do but it sounds like your dropping a cylinder or the exhaust is leaking into the hood?? Hoosier mentioned the trigger wires. The 89 125 trigger, the wires are real thin and break easily under the shrink wrap at the connector...

    Chy 140

    Try eBay ?? Just looked and they have a few listed. The chances of you breaking the 2 screws holding the seal in place is really good. Be real careful. Or, just build up the seal with a bit of silicone(make your own seal) don't need a lot. The pump housing isn't real bad. If yu want to fill in...

    Startup sneeze-1988 125hp

    Once it gets running, try the starter fluid test. Spray starting fluid around the intake side. If it makes any difference in the way it runs, then it's sucking air and that might be causing the sneeze?

    Force 50 HP needs the force

    outboardignitiondtcom has test procedures for your motor. You'll need an analog type meter to do the basic tests. The more complicated needs a DVA or Peak Reading Volt Meter or an attachment to make your meter read DVA. A burn spot doesn't necessarily mean it's bad???

    Newbie here with a tilt and trim motor leaking fluid

    There shouldn't be any oil coming from between the motor and reservoir?? Unless it's been filled wrong? Over filling can push oil up into the electric motor?? They get filled when in the down position and use 30w oil. If they get filled when up, then you drop the motor down, the excess oil gets...

    Throttle issue

    No forward or reverse? Maybe the props hub has spun or the shear pin has broken and needs replaced? Always include the year and model # , makes it easier if I need to look up parts and diagrams.
