    Turn off engine, wiring diagram. Help!

    The first pic has a foundry stamp. The circle with the 87 in the middle. 1987 Looks like Dec. or maybe January 1987?? The other # is a part# The last pic: no such thing as EFI on any Force :) You do a compression test? these 2cyl. can actually run fairly well on just 1 cyl. Any other ID#s...

    Force 125 lacking power

    Usually any air leaks come from the port covers, once in a while the gaskets under the carbs. Things like electrical contacts need sanding, cleaning. All the connectors on the trigger and stator, if I have any question I replace them ALL. Just be careful as the trigger wires are very thin and...

    Tilt Cylinders Leaking

    Like I said: it was a working cylinder when removed. Lets just hope it still works. Remember after it's all back together, GREASE the rod and the seal where the rod goes through. 99% DON'T lube the T@T and that causes failure. Last year I replaced the seals on 6 Yamahas and 3 Mercury's . They...

    Slow crank

    FYI The 3/4 cyl. Forces when one plugs installed and you try to turn it over. The uneven compression can make it hard to turn. If one cyl. was bad it would have the same affect.

    Trim and tilt questions

    Yes there are a few changes, you can adapt a newer style pump and motor from a limited style of T@T's from the 91-94 motors. I'll have to do some research and get some pics.

    #2 pic says you need risers. The clog is in an area that isn't readily visible, the crack shows failure and it won't be long before it goes through and back into a cylinder or 2

    New Gimbal bearing won’t take grease

    Sounds like the holes didn't align right. Take it back out and reinstall. Then grease it while running.

    Should I keep the Volvo 280?

    Trim tabs would make the ride and take off better. But tilt would help performance.
