    Force 125 88’ won’t run

    So I hooked up the timing gun while it’s running it’s at tdc idling as I start to increase the throttle just about 5% it stays close to tdc and then it shutters but stays on but while it’s doing that no marks line up with the block mark. Like nothing near it at all could it be the trigger or is...

    I was messing with the idle screw on carbs and it turned in but would stall so I was like **** it I dumped the throttle and it went. And didn’t stall but I have to dump the thing or it stalls and stalls in neutral. I’m thinking the trigger is bad cuz it was pinging really bad on throttle but...

    Hey guys so the boat starts but it bucks and does little pops. I’ve done the lync and sync again but still no luck maybe bad trigger? Says it idles at 3-4 and surges between that

    Update Timing was off. I’d say it was at about maybe 14d. Put it at 28d static had some trouble starting and it backfired twice but after that it finally idled. :) But now when I went to give it gas at the carbs it would die almost instantly. Then I thought maybe it had to do with the trigger...

    Question for timing I’ve seen people time it to the right 28d mark and people do the middle mark 30d. And the video Frank made he also says to time it to 28d mark the right one at cranking speed Also I realized on the photo I put of the timing they have on the manual is wrong Frank says...

    Tdc is good took the spark off set wheel at tdc and I couldn’t even put a screw driver in it was practically at the very top. Timing does look like it was messed with the screw for adjustment is slightly damaged at the slot for the driver Mine doesn’t look like that I’ll order one.

    I watched the video went to the boat I can get the slider to contact the throttle part but I can’t get it even with the mark the mark is to low. Would that mean my timing is off. This is what’s written in my manual. Pic below I feel like the carbs are not pulling gas. It was dripping out while...

    Ya motor wouldn’t start but it also had a faulty ignition switch messing with the magneto. The carbs have to be timed? I thought that was only for when it’s running and you hit the throttle. Can I check the timing with a car timing gun. Could the timing of the engine be off. Also what did you...

    I just took off the carbs to clean for the 3rd time. Noticed on the carb for the bottom the speed screw was worn(pic below) top carb was in very good condition. As for the floats I heard they are just supposed to be flat when u hold it upside down and I can see the plunger thing move with it up...

    Yup changed the gasket diaphragm the little cork gasket behind the 1 way valve in the pump the x looking gasket in the back and the port cover. It does get hard. I checked for gas coming out when pressing the bulb on the carb fuel lines and the fuel pump out line everything was good. I’m...

    I pulled the fuel line to the carbs and they were all pressurized so they are getting fuel idk if they are when the motor is cranking but I just changed all that so I’d assume so. Did I **** somthing up in the carbs. I just took the idle screw all the way out. And sprayed carb cleaner took the...

    Bad news:/ I changed the fuel pump gaskets the port cover gasket on the fuel pump. Changed impeller not that that matters I think. Also re did the spark test and everything was sparking at the same speed and seemed like a good speed for me. But still won’t start unless I put starting fluid and...

Should I change all of them? I clean the carbs it doesn’t seem bent just grinded almost flat on the...
