    that is correct!

    1990 Force L-Drive 90hp -- Can't get it to idle -- losing my mind :D

    as I mentioned in one one of my earlier post(s) the timing light you're using has features directed to 4 STROKE motors e.g. timing advance/retard & RPM reading as Redbarron%% already mentioned; all you would need is a cheap timing light, however you can use the (one) function on your the...

    1990 Force L-Drive 90hp -- Can't get it to idle -- losing my mind :D

    I still did not get a reply on my questions, so I ask once more; YOU - Throttle responds instantly going from neutral to WOT. ME - EXPLAIN?? YOU -Propeller is not spun, I just got back from checking that. Motor seems to idle well, runs great at WOT, but just wont push past 6mph. ME - Maybe the...

    1998 force 120

    Are all the plugs in? is the key in the crank? if so, then pull the head to check for any damaged / cracked Cylinders/rings also inspect the head-gasket if blown

    That's more for safety reasons, you can leave the prop on. Make sure you have the plugs out & ground the plugs, to prevent damage to the CDI-boxes/coils

    Prop stays on, how else could you set the right RPM in gear-mode

    Make sure you work with a fully charged & test good battery, if the flywheel does not spin fast enough; it does not produce enough electricity to spark the plugs. Of course the starter has to be in good health also to crank fast enough. (did has thrown me off a few times)

    1993 40hp force Loose Wire.

    YES!! you're absolutely right!! What was I thinking???? I guess I was not! But an overheat buzzer on a 40hp ?

    Stalling mystery

    Check the trigger-wires & connectors, the wires move around as the trigger advances. These wires are very thin and tend to break under the shrink-tube. (maybe at that particular RPM is the spot where it looses ignition??)

    1993 40hp force Loose Wire.

    Looks to me like the thermistor-switch that closes when the engine overheats, this connect to the kill-circuit

    1990 Force L-Drive 90hp -- Can't get it to idle -- losing my mind :D

    In the 2nd. picture; the 3 lines (from left to right) 32 - 30 - 28 degrees Set the timing at 28 by adjusting the little rod attached to the trigger-assembly (right under the Flywheel) visible in the 1st. picture In gear full throttle cranking speed by jumping the starter (make sure you have a...

    1990 Force L-Drive 90hp -- Can't get it to idle -- losing my mind :D

    I hear you & will get you through this. how are you "adjusting" the RPMs ? hopefully at the screw on the bottom of the tower-arm (connected to the trigger-assembly) also, with the unit OFF and in full throttle forward; are all butterflies evenly horizontal? I mean the throttle butterflies NOT...

    Timing Question

    I think you got this backwards

    Timing Question

    @Redbarron%% Quick question, so it does advance? by a degree or two?

    Force 85 won't shift into forward but goes in reverse help!

    It can be a life lesson journey, that's for sure! lol

    At what RPMs is it idle in Neural?

    Timing Question

    "The distance and time in milliseconds the signal takes from trigger to plug remains constant. The piston speed is not." I THINK.......the timing will be affected because when at 5000 RPMs the Flywheel is also spinning faster like the pistons.
