    1987 125 hp throttle slop

    Good job....saved yourself a LOT of work for sure. Will keep your Plan A in mind if I ever have the same problem. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of pins did you use after drilling out to 3/32?

    1989 Force 85 HP Starter Disengages

    Got this NOS kit for $30 and installed it last week. The bendix that was on there was a different kind.....the guy that worked on this motor years ago probably just slapped one on there that he had laying around his shop. Seems to work better now.

    1989 Force 85 HP Starter Disengages

    Checking on fleabay today....NOS armature in orig box for $24 (shipping included)....NOS brush set in orig packaging for $15 (shipping included). So I could replace the guts in mine for about $40 if I needed to.....and have a better starter than most of the Chinese junk out there.

    1987 125 hp throttle slop

    On my 85HP it's not the flywheel that blocks you from lifting the tower shaft out, it's an overhang on the powerhead itself......right under where the distributor mounts....only about a credit card thickness of clearance between the top of the tower shaft and that overhang. Pretty sure I would...

    1987 125 hp throttle slop

    "Just remember to leave the big nut on the top so the flywheel doesn't fly away" Never saw that mentioned in any manual or video before.....will be sure to do that the next time I pull a flywheel. (y)

    1989 Force 85 HP Starter Disengages

    Had similar problem with the bendix dropping out before starting.....put a new kit on the starter (bendix, spring, collar and nut). So far it is not disengaging before starting. I really think it was the spring that was getting weak, not keeping the bendix engaged. The old bendix was a little...

    1987 125 hp throttle slop

    Basically the tower shaft has to be lifted high enough to clear the spacer plate in order to remove it without damage. If your flywheel is the only thing preventing you from lifting it high enough then removing the flywheel would be the answer. Not difficult with the proper tools.

    1989 Force 15 is this water output enough?

    Looks like you don't have enough water in your barrel.....the cavitation plate needs to be 4 inches or more under water for the impeller to pump properly. Try that and see if it makes a difference. Maybe even 6 inches. Your cavitation plate is barely under water.

    Mud daubber dust in engine

    Saw the first mud dauber of the season last week.....what a PITA. Have found that they do not like WD-40.....I spray a light coat in appliance compartments on the RV....it dries but leaves a film. I keep a cover on the boat, even though it is inside......it helps. But am always on the...

    1978 Chrysler floor help?

    Every time I see a post in this section about replacing a floor or deck I make a point to take a look at it......and most of the time it is the same old thing....a poster's simple plan to replace the floor turns into more than they bargained for.

    Is this normal wear on a distributor belt?

    I used a good flywheel puller and had no problem getting mine off. Since I was putting my original FW on the rebuilt PH I went ahead and did the lapping with the valve grinding compound, just to be sure it fit right. 90 Ft lbs on the FW nut.....no problems so far. My factory manual explained...

    1978 Chrysler 85HP Powerhead Swap

    Jerry.....that locating disc is in fact under the water pump seal. It's just a plastic washer. Decided to leave the old seal alone since it looked in good shape, but you can see it in there. Got a new seal and new locating disc and will probably change them the next time I service the pump. (y)
