    Picked up a 1990 Force 50HP yesterday.

    Bowl had a later ov varnish in it. Needle was stuck which released on contact with the spray. There were a few spots that didn't clan off when sprayed that the soak cleaned just fine. The float needed adjustment. Will install it this afternoon.

    Picked up a 1990 Force 50HP yesterday.

    The parts I ordered came in earlier this week. Got around to taking the carb off. Took a measurement for where the choke rod was set. When I took it apart, the outside bowl gasket was missing and the float was on upside down. Float pin was tapped in all the way so had to tap it out with a...

    Sounds like a 6 speed auto if you have paddles. Do you have a clutch pedal? The way skip shift works, I You're rolling into a light and downshift to first with the clutch in, if the light changes and you want to put it into second because you are rolling faster than first warrants, it locks...

    To run with muffs, it sounded like I needed those special muffs that @jerryjerry05 posted above for and old force outboard. The barrel will work until I find those ones. If a regular set works, I can pick them up at sportsman's or a local boat shop, before the parts arrive, and not deal with...

    One of the first things I did to the wife's Challenger after we got it was add a skip shift eliminator. Took more time to jack the car up than to install the squib.

    Trolling setup for my canoe

    Thought I would share the battery setup I've put together for trolling with my canoe. 16' Pelican with a 30LB minn kota endura. When I first bought it, I had an 100A deep cycle AGM. About 75lbs. Worked fine. Concerned me that it wasn't breaker or fuse protected and was spark every time I...

    Had a friend back in the early 90s that had a 75 Datsun B210. He loved that car. It always ran and seemed to be immune from the winter salt.

    Sometimes they still run, but buyer still beware... Back in 86 my my first car had sat for 7 years next to a barn down the street. Dad and I had been looking for a car for a couple months for me to start in. We had looked for few months, and he asked the owner about it. Owner said it ran...

    Building a fishing boat.

    Thank You. I really appreciate the suggestions. Very enlightening... https://forums.iboats.com/threads/old-timers-formula.660017/ Edited. Questions answered. A couple questions. Is that spar varnish, or spar urethane? Or does it matter? For the deck is heavier 3/4 inch ACX overkill? If we...

    Building a fishing boat.

    Not gonna be putting 650lbs of wood into this boat over the weight of the original interior and options were. That would kinda defeat the purpose. The 50hp force is around 15-20lbs heavier than the old 30HPs that would have come on the boat. Bigger outboard drops the weight capacity to...

    Building a fishing boat.

    Good suggestion. After it's sealed and the main floor is in, will do just that. There's a small pond at cold creek we can pit it in. Maybe a chair at floor level will be stable enough, if not, bench may be the better option. Point taken. Thank You. After we get it together and moving...

    Picked up a 1990 Force 50HP yesterday.

    It had a decent trailer. But have no use for it. The trailer we got with the boat needs alittle TLC and paimt work but has a permanent license tag on it. When we title/license the boat, will transfer that to a new title.
