Okay cool thanks jigs. Yeah idk if I mean the housing itself, but that threaded plug on top of the top cylinder area, where most people add tell tales

Copy that

Yup good copy on that. I won't even think about putting it on the water until the leak is fixed. I've been keeping the cowl off too while looking for leaks, and just long enough to see it. So far the leak is 100% coming through the gasket between the block and spacer plate. I got the 3-gakset...

Hey everyone, So I just added a tell tale onto my 50hp force using the plug hole just above the thermostat. Pretty common mod. My question is, is the water coming out the tell tale coming from the thermostat or going to the thermostat? I really like the tell tale mod but I'd like to know what...

Okay cool thanks Nordin, no I did not touch the timing rod. I did replace my trigger recently, but I kept the timing rod at the same length the original one had.

Okay I hear ya Nordin. I won't replace the gasket if it's not bad. I'll check before I pull the powerhead.

Okay sweet! I may still pick one up just for the future, but hopefully I'm good now, like you said nordin. Yup all see about getting a shop manual. Just find one on eBay? Or are there PDF versions?

Okay sounds good top gun, I'll pick one up. I just ordered a new thermostat as well, just to know I got a good one.

Hey everyone, So recently I was attempting to tune my motor according to my clymer manual. I hooked up a cheap induction tack not knowing that forces use a double spark. My tach was reading about 1500-1600 in gear in the water. I didn't realize that I should half that number. Due to this I...

Hey so since I touched the idle speed screw, does that mean I need to buy a timing light and reset or check the timing? Or can I just adjust the screw until I get 750 rpm in gear?

Okay cool. Yeah I also noticed water leaking from under the lower cowl area (the area that the cowl sits on) so maybe that gasket is leaking too. We will see what Nordin says but perhaps I should change it while I'm in there

Okay well that's really good to know then. I though my motor was idling super bad, but sounds like I was setting the idle speed way too low. Still has a miss but not as bad as I probably feared. I guess a tool is only as good as the person using it lol!

Okay cool I'll get all three then.

Ooh well I bought this motor as just a motor plus controls. That might be on the POs boat.

Okay so each revolution there are two sparks from each plug, one dry spark and one igniting spark? You think my tach was reading double then? As in my motor was doing 800 at idle, but my tach was reading 1600 pulses?

Ooh I see. Maybe the next one I get will be that one if the mighty TopGun likes it. How long is the cord? Would like mount one on my dash.

Okay mine has no ground. Just one long wire.

Okay so the middle one doesn't go between the spacer plate and the powerhead? I could buy just the big one. The serial number seems to match mine.

The console as in the remote control?

Okay cool I think that is what I tried. I mean my motor could be idling at 1600 rpms. When I tried to reduce the idle for tuning, I could not get it down below 900 however. Granted I'm chasing a misfire so that could be why, but I don't know if I can trust my tach. How many wraps do you do?
