    Nordin, Thanks, I was just checking the lines of the recirc system. Can't find a description of system in y manual. I have removed these 3 lines and they are all clear. Now here at the bottom, the line is clear but I can't blow through the fitting, only suction. Like I don't have a...

    Force 125HP misfiring, running rough...

    Yup! Don't like it either. Like it was right on the edge and not really deep, I just applied a tiny bit of epoxy to prevent the magnet to chip some more. I am looking at flywheel on eBay. I installed the new stator, trigger and rectifier. Fired up the motor, all spark plugs checked ok. Looking...

    Force 125HP misfiring, running rough...

    Got it !!!!!!! Flywheel is now off!!! Looks like some of the permanent magnets are chipped. Don't know if it is that bad. I checked the Trigger and I cannot see any broken wires in the exposed part. Must be internal then. I got a new stator, trigger and rectifier. Arrived today. If...

    Force 125HP misfiring, running rough...

    Chay, Thanks. I have removed the flywheel nut, kinda stuck now with the flywheel puller, not going anywhere really. When you say "tapped with a hammer/4x4 from the bottom (soft smack, not all out war)", you mean you had a 4x4 under the edge of flywheel and tapped it? I tried heat and it won't...

    Force 125HP misfiring, running rough...

    Jiggz, Thanks. How do you check the resistance of each set of trigger? I have been trying to follow the instructions from the manual but I am not reading any resistance anywhere. I am using a digital ohmmeter. I must be doing something wrong obviously but I can't figure out what exactly. If you...

    Force 125HP misfiring, running rough...

    Bad day!!! Motor has been running great and suddenly, running rough seems more like misfiring than fuel starvation. At idle, runs a bit rough but not too noticeable. RPM at 900 to 1000 today (neutral), usually 1100RPM. When opening throttle, seems ok at first then motor starts to run rough...

    1986 Force 125HP running after tune up.

    I got this motor 3 weeks ago, the previous owner had taking good care of it but it had been sitting in the garage for 2 years when I got it. There wasn't any major issues. Compression was good. It was running a bit rough. With the help of this forum I replaced all the fuel lines (including from...

    Acoustic Foam for outboard Force.

    My 1986 acoustic foam is in pretty bad shape and disintegrating. I was wondering if anyone had used this product from iBoat for their engine cowling? http://www.iboats.com/Soundown-Acoustic-Absorption-Foam-Soundown/dm/cart_id.594237256--session_id.815522388--view_id.1185864 I also saw this...

    The boat is installed with 2 batteries and an OFF, 1,ALL,2 selector, the boat has a radio and a fish finder. One of the battery needs replacement. Looking at posts here looks like the best setup would be one Cranking battery 800CCA and one Deep Cycle battery (run accessories). Or should i get...

    Force 125 a bit rough at times...

    Idle smooth, WOT smooth and getting about 35mph (byliner 19 capri), however i'd say around 1/3 throttle the engine sounds rough and getting some vibrations. What do you think, Fuel? Timing? Thanks Fmt

    125 hp LU drain plug stripped.

    Hex drain plug is stripped pretty badly and I really don't want to mess with it. Would it be ok to refill until clean gear oil drains from vent plug? Thanks

    1986 125 hp outboard Force. Tilt/trim works but the engine comes down slowly within minutes. I read the post on the FAQ section. It is showing an expired eBay link. Any idea where I could find a repair kit for the trim tilt system? Thank you. FMT
