    90 compression on 135 hp

    I bought mine from the MAC tool guy,1986/7 185$ It still works better than most!! There are some things from HF that work good, I bought a battery load tester 25$ and it works good.

    Cone clutch??

    The 88 is NOT a cone clutch drive. The cone came out later and was used in the big block applications. Then Volvo got involved and they started using it in all the drives

    Questions on '76 Chrysler 105 first start after sitting for years.

    Yes most will work, just as long as it completes a circuit and doesn't leave a plug wire hanging loose.

    Force -need finding year of motor

    First there was Chrysler, then US Marine(Bayliner) bought them and that brought out Force. Then in the early 90's Mercury bought them and in 1991 started using Mercury parts. Then in 95 they were pretty much Mercury except for the block. Then in 99 they dropped the Force completely.

    88 force 125hp carb question

    Two different needles, one will be a solid metal, the other comes with a rubber tip. Look into the seat and see what's in there?? If it's solid, use the one with the rubber tip, If there's an o-ring, use the solid needle.

    4.3 GL Engine Mount Bolt replacement

    Before you go any further, do an alignment check before you replace. Then again after you get the new bearing in. Just changing the bearing shouldn't make any difference.

    As your doing the comp test, check the spark. If you do a spark test use a spark tester or you can blow the power pack. $440

    Like pnwboat said 90 Someplace on the head is a foundry stamp, usually it's round and the center will have the year. Besides the cover, what parts do you need?

    No fogging oil, use WD-40 or a similar spray. The fogging oil will make it harder to start. There's a slotted screw on the side of the lower unit, it's NEVER to be touched!!! The drain plug is on the bottom, might be an allen headed set screw? The only shifter that will work right is the...

    Force 125 lacking power

    Good luck. A broken ring is still a problem. A broken ring is floating in the groove and can start scoring the walls, maybe you found it before it got ugly? It seems you've done everything and found a problem. I wouldn't disregard this. You check the skirt like I suggested? If the bottom ring...

    Force 125 lacking power

    IF??? the ring gap was at the port cover, it would be there on all 4 pistons, you can break and loose the ring without doing damage to the cylinder walls. IF?? the gap is bigger than 1/8th.in. your missing part of the ring??? All Force pistons I've ever worked on has the locating pin(Redbarron)...

    1966 Sea King 6hp idles ~ 10 seconds, accelerates then quits

    The Chrysler/Force has 2 different needle/seat, one needle/seat has rubber on the tip of the needle and the seat is smooth metal, the other has a rubber seal in the seat and a solid needle, inspect both. The cleaners and soaks we use can make the rubber swell and not allow the fuel to pass...

    1988 force Full throttle only 3500 rpm

    I did the wide open test one time. NEVER again!! Tided to the dock isn't the way to get WOT unless you have a test wheel and run it in a test tank. The motor doesn't spool up when tied to the dock. The static timing should get you close enough

    Force 125 lacking power

    Just use the old gasket and seal with silicone. Then do a comp test after the gaskets been reused. When you install the new gasket, do a comp test to see if the readings are all the same? It won't hurt the gasket until the motor gets hot and melts the sealer on the gasket.

    1966 Sea King 6hp idles ~ 10 seconds, accelerates then quits

    Sounds like the float needs adjusting? Your motor has a separate tank? tank vent open? When you pump the ball, does it get firm? or fuel comes out the overflow? Test the needle/seat for fuel/air flow. Hook a spark tester to the plug, start motor and watch it as it dies, does it loose spark or...
