    Do you feel the need .... " LOL"

    When you type "LOL" in an email or web post, do you feel the need to let out an audible chuckle? So that you are actually laughing out loud. I find myself doing it, guess I must be too honest. LOL. There, did it again.

    Blew the lower end....Ugh.

    A GOOD used lower unit will run $350-$600. New one is $3300 ! Does that make you a little more patient to wait for one on ebay? Good luck in your search. Easy enough to buy the 25" lower unit that is on ebay, and replace the driveshaft with yours, assuming yours is usable. Looks like the...

    fORCE 50 OVERHEATING

    compression a little low, but not bad yet. The water pump pumps less water at wot as the impeller wears out. Replace it before it fails completely and you ruin the engine.

    1989 force 125 no fire

    You have the blue coils, so you have the blue cd modules also, correct? Seems unlikely that they both would go bad at the same time. Don't have a number for the stator ohms, but they seem a little low. If you have a dva peak voltmeter, check the stator output, should be 210volt. Then check...

    I have never seen......

    In all my years, I have never seen the really goofy funny stupid boat ramp antics you all talk about. I have seen backing mistakes, and a forgotten plug a couple times, and guys slip off the tongue and get their feet wet. And a few arrogant jerks. But that's it. Could it be that Wisconsin...

    couple more questions

    First there was oil, regular old 30w motor oil. mixed in the gas. Then, as they learned more about 2 cycle motors, and oil, they developed tcw oil. After further improvements, the new standard was called tcw-2 We are now on the third refinement, tcw-3. I would think you could use the old tcw...

    Loss of fuel line pressure

    Give me the motor and buy a new one. :) Replace the fuel line from tank to the fuel pump. Get a good one from Mercury if you can, the cheap ones from walmart don't last. Examine the fuel lines to the carbs for cracks or looseness. You may need to replace the fuel pump diaphragm, but lets...

    motor and tilt problems

    The shop likely used their own gas tank to run your motor. The case of oil should be good. The old gas/sludge in the tank will mess up your carbs bad. The old gas in the tank should be drained and disposed of, or used in a lawn mower. Run a can or 2 or Seafoam through the engine ( in the new...

    Suggestion to all members.

    How about if we all put our city/state/or country at the bottom of our signatures. It sure is nice to know where someone is from. Helps in the tech forums to troubleshoot problems. I see some of you have already put your location in your signatures. I like it. :)

    Cooling Problem 25% water 75 % air HELP/Please

    By "pee hole" are you referring to the hole on the back side of the midsection, or did someone actually hook up a hose under the engine cover and port it out the side? Most of those engines only had the hole on the back side, which is actually an exhaust relief hole. So to have a substantial...
