    Electronic distributor made a buzzing sound

    Yes, try Bill Kelly and why not Franz Buddenberg at Franz Marine Service. Franz is a Chrysler/Force guru.

    Electronic distributor made a buzzing sound

    Okey, do not think a troubleshoot will give any answer. It only cover if you have problem with the ignition. If it works and will sound when you start it up just run it. That is what I would do if it was mine engine. Maybe time to catch up one for spare. The bad think is they are pretty...

    Electronic distributor made a buzzing sound

    Never have experience of buzzing sound from the distributor. Do you have the OEM preamp or a preamp from CDI Electronics? Very early Magna Power CD boxes from Delta with the two transistors mounted outside the box and this is when the Magna Power was introduced in 1967-1968 and they were on the...

    90hp outboard died suddenly, wouldn't restart

    I am not very familiar with these engines but you maybe have two stop possibilities. Keyswitch to stop (left position of the key) and the stop switch. To rule out if it is problem with the stop circuit you can disconnect the stop wire to the switchbox and check for spark. Looking at my...

    90hp outboard died suddenly, wouldn't restart

    This engine suppose to have three ignition coils one for each cylinder. Seams odd if all three coils will go bad at the same time. Check the kill switch, it can fail over the time. When the overboard lanyard key is in place the circuit should be open. When activated it ground out the switchbox...

    1955 Evinrude Fleetwin 7.5hp carb kit?

    Fleetwinner the compression numbers are also important. These small engines should be in range 80-120 PSI maybe higher, but most important is that the numbers are close to each other. Not more different than 10-15% is a general rule. They will run with 80PSI but 100PSI or more is preferable...

    Reeds?

    WinnerCougar74, do not blow it for a Japanese Yamaha 4-stroker. Handle it with care and do not run the hell out of it. You are doing a historic nostalgic deed to preserve it.

    question on the starting a "2 cycle Merc" sticky

    We in the old generation 50 or 60+have the knowledge about carb engines and how you maybe have to start it and troubleshoot in a logical way. . The new generation ???? Sad to discover that we will go to a computer troubleshoot generation that will be a random part changer.

    Force 40 issues

    Usually when slipping out of gear the edges at the clutch dog and even the edges at the forward gear are rounded, but what I understand you do not get the LU into forward gear. If the clutch dog is worn and the edges rounded it will go into gear but when under load it will slip out. Try to shift...

    Reeds?

    About setting the timing, on these Chrysler and Force engines you just set the timing at WOT. Timing at idle will be what it will be. After the timing at WOT you just set the air/fuel mixture and the idle speed. But if you want check the timing at idle with a timing light. My experience is that...

    Reeds?

    My experience is to give some throttle and sometimes some choke even if warm. Have a Mercury Thunderbolt 800 80Hp 1972, same actions with it. Some more throttle and sometimes a short choke. Soo this is no issue for me, but remember every engine is individual. Some need a special route to start...

    Reeds?

    As you have removed the carbs and intake manifold I would suggest to do the link and sync as Frank A that is in the top of this forum. With the air/fuel mixture screws at 1 1/8-1 1/2 turn out from seated and the throttle pick up point adjusted right it would fire up in about 5 sec with the...

    Reeds?

    Some light thru the reeds are acceptable but not to large gap. 0,10mm (0,004in) in my opinion is acceptable. Remember that these Chrysler can be bloody hard to start cold, I think Frank A said this years ago. But if you have to crank 2 or 10-15 sec until it start, does that matter? Were the old...

    125 Force ignition wiring?

    Check out Mastertech Marine (maxrules.com) they have wiring diagram. Look at technical specification-common wiring diagram and then Chrysler Force diagram. Your colors do not follow the OEM colors. Red-hot 12VDC from battery Green-choke Yellow-start Blue- stop to ground White (2)-stop to CD...

    Yamaha 25hp 2stroke outboard

    Looking at the video and it sounds like it is misfiring. Do as 99yam40 suggest, check with a timing light. Also check the sparkplugs for crack in the porcelain, change spark plugs, run it in the dark with the hood off and look for sparks jumping to ground (power head). Take a close look at the...

    90hp outboard died suddenly, wouldn't restart

    The engine need three things to run. 1. Air/fuel mixture (right amount mixture) 2. Compression 3. Spark (at the right time) Troubleshoot these three, start with check for spark which is easy. Pull all three plugs, ground them and have the HT wires connected. Turn the key to start and check for...

    90hp outboard died suddenly, wouldn't restart

    You have to check for spark at all three plugs. I sounds like there is no spark. If the stator goes bad you will loose spark at all plugs.

    1986 85hp force 856X6L no spark

    Okey, I have one question. How did you split the CD module and how did you remove the insulation putty? I think it is easy to repair the CD module if you manage to remove the putty. The main components in the CD is the capacitors and the SRC transistors/thyristors and I think these two fail...

    1986 85hp force 856X6L no spark

    Sounds like you have one output channel at one CD module that is bad. Each CD module has two output channels soo a two cylinder engine need one module, a three cylinder engine need two modules but one channel is not in use and a four cylinder need two modules and use all output channels. Try to...
