    Force 85 really difficult to start

    You said: "How to check the cdi and ignition coil?" The only way to check the coil is to swap it with another coil. Checking the CD or pack: IF NO FIRE ON ANY CYLINDER: 1. Disconnect the kill wire AT THE PACK. Check for broken or bare wires on the unit, stator and trigger. 2. Using the Fluke...

    1994 Force Mercury 120hp No spark

    He said he replaced every electrical part so that leads me to believe he pulled the flywheel???. Kill switch replaced? Even a new stator can be bad??? outboardignitiondotcom has test procedures for your motor.

    Tuorqe on head bolts 2008 25hp Suzuki

    The motor was missing part of the gasket for the port intake and oil was dumping into the intake and fouling the plug. The original owner set this Gheenoe up real good. He was 84 when he got it 2008 Drove it for an hour and then had a stroke and never touched it until his family sold it to my...

    The book I got(wrong one) did give tuorqe values on the bolts and didn't break it down like the other brands did. The tuorqe is 45#

    1992 Force 70 horse rebuild

    Good job!! Glad it's working!! The problem with the 70 is the one carb. It can starve the top cyl. and not get enough lube? If it was mine? I'd use a bit more oil . 50-1 is 1 gallon oil to 48 gal. gas. I'd run 1 to 45 gal. Not much more but it might make the motor last longer. Again: Good job!

    overheating - looking for a cause

    Forces don't have the flushing port. IF?? the cooling passages are clogged??? NO amount of flushing will clear them. The sediment gets realllllly hard and only a screwdriver or something similar will get it cleared out. One of my customers had a 40Yam on a toon. I Being as it was on the dock...

    New NGK BR8HS plugs improve overall performance

    If the bowl melted??? then you probably had one for diesel fuel?? Maybe the fuel additives caused it? I get the small one from Sierra and it works great. Over time they get hard to see through or the drain seal goes bad and the bowl gets replaced.$16 They're small enough to put almost anyplace.

    1994 Force 120 OB fogging/winterizing question

    The fogging oil is good. The best thing is FILL the tank and add Ethanol stabilizer if you use Ethanol fuel. Run it so the stabilizer makes it to the carbs. Drain the carbs. Easy to do on the 120

    Carbs leaking fuel 1988 force 125hp

    Are the needles solid or have a rubber tip? The solid ones: the seat can be damaged from the chemicals used in cleaning?? Or the seat can be gone from cleaning. The rubber tip needles: the tip can be damaged or something in the seat??

    overheating - looking for a cause

    The poppet shouldn't make a difference in overheating. They stopped using them on Forces after 89/90 IF? the thermo had crud on it then the cooling passages could be clogged?? The heat gun will tell if there are hot spots. Or remove the head and check the passages??

    lower unit swap from a 85hp to a 125hp

    No they went to Mercury in 94 and yes some early 90's used Mercury gears but they were used in the Force setup/style.

    overheating - looking for a cause

    You changed the impeller, now it overheats? You sure it's the right impeller? 47 years old and the sending unit might be faulty? Get a heat gun and check the temps all over the motor and verify the motor is really getting hot?? The thermo opens at 143 the sensor doesn't work until it's closer...

    lower unit swap from a 85hp to a 125hp

    I believe after 91 the gear ratio was the same for ALL of the bigger Forces. That includes the 150/120/90
