    Re: Help 1990 force 90 HP flywheel removal Nothing holding it on but the pressure. Sometimes the darn thing just won't cooperate. You'll need to drill,tap to the next size.Then use heat after it's installed. Your probably gonna ruin the top seal but it can't be helped. I had one that WOULD...

    please help me serial number/ model number

    Re: please help me serial number/ model number After the manual came out, they changed it to 1 turn out and leave it there. Too rich and it can carbon up. The impeller in most cases is all you need to change. Again depending on Model? There are 2 impellers to choose from. Post a pic of the pump...

    '88 Force 85hp low top speed?

    Re: '88 Force 85hp low top speed? First ask yourself?? Can I change the plugs on my outboard? If you can, then you can do it? You'll need a compression tester, then spark plug testers. Then you'll need a couple things. A remote starter and a way to ground the plugs. The red wires are the way...

    89 Force 85 Lower unit...confusing

    Re: 89 Force 85 Lower unit...confusing I THINK!!! That's the seal that goes in another part. The rubber bellows went by/by and it was replaced with a new/old style cover. You only have the seal and need the plate. Look up the part #s #53 in the diagram. Someone listed a replacement part on...
