    Throttle and remote control linkage adjustment

    Hey everyone, So I recently came into a 1988 force 50hp with a remote control box. Im having some difficulties properly adjusting my throttle and linkages. I can either get the throttle cam set correctly at idle and no WOT, or I can get WOT but not be set up right at idle. Also, it seems I have...

    Yeah I hear you. Key is definitely not sheared. I did have to replace my trigger recently so I wanted to be sure I was still firing right. So far, at WOT and cranking speed, the 28 mark lines up with my timing mark.

    Also, how should the timing marks on my motor look with a timing light, at cranking speed and WOT? It's a prestolite system.

    Oh okay I see. Yup I cleaned the recirc plate thoroughly. I had to take the PH off last week to replace the exhaust gasket so I did it then. Lots of junk in my recirc, especially in the screens. Are there any check valves beyond the reeds that I should be concerned with? I tried blowing and...

    Sorry Jerry, yeah I sprayed it down with starter fluid earlier on, found a leak behind the carb but the problem persisted. I believe my problem was when I was trying to tune my motor, I was using a cheap induction tach. Worked pretty well, and according to instructions I was to set my tach to 2...

    I think mine is a cross flow? Not sure I'll double check. Okay sweet yeah that makes so much sense. I'll get it out on the water in a few weeks and see how it does. I tried not to run it too much without the prop too, I can't imagine that's good for the motor. Yup my diaphragm was still and...

    Oh okay awesome! So my engine must be good to go then that's been my only problem up to this point. How did my idle sound in that video? Because Ive never owned a properly running force, I don't know how it's supposed to sound. Oh okay I gotcha. I checked my diaphragm and it looked stretched...

    Oh okay cool. Didn't know what rectifiers do. I will try disconnecting it and see what happens. Now it only misses while revving down. Revving up it's super smooth. I was running in a test tank without the prop. I know it's best to use a test wheel but I don't have one. I'll have to get it out...

    Just checked the timing as well. I think it's good. The 28 mark lands right on the dash on the timing sticker while cranking at WOT

    Here's the motor idling

    50 hp high speed misfire

    Okay so just got the motor fired up after the exhaust gasket replacement. Attempted my tuneup as per the Haines manual. Runs very nice at higher rpm but bucks on its way back down to idle. Idle seems rough to me as well, but it seemed to be the best I could get it. I'll attach a video of it idling.
