I do have a 6 gallon tank, about 2 months old. Ethanol free and already mixed. Would that be considered stale? I have another 6 gallon tank, I thought about diluting the old stuff with new stuff.

Okay cool, this leads to another question I have for you. Say I have some ethanol free gas already mixed with 2-stroke oil. How long can that sit before I should chuck it? I don't want to hurt the motor but gas is also super expensive here in the PNW.

Awesome thanks Topgun and racerone, this is good stuff. Topgun, I remember reading that force motors don't take older gas very well due to the style of motor they are. Is there any truth to this? I will certainly get some of that product. Especially with the price if gas these days. Racerone, do...

Okay sweet I'll keep that in mind!

Okay sweet thanks for all the tips guys! How about fuel? 87 or 89 octane? Ethenol free I'm sure? How long can I let gas sit around? And what do I do to the motor if I'm not going to use it for 2 weeks plus?

Yup copy that! I'm almost too afraid to use muffs so I have a barrel I fill up.

Awesome thanks Nordin!

Okay awesome thanks for the info! So far Ive replaced the impeller, checked the prop, and replaced the seals in the carb. I'll pick up one of those manuals for sure. Should I mess with the fuel pump at all? I see those being mentioned.

I recently got my first force outboard running and on the water. Runs pretty good so far but it will need some adjustments. My question is, how do I go about taking care of one of these motors? I am new boating in general, and from what I've read so far, these motors can be fairly particular...

So I just got a 1988 force. Didn't run well right off the bat, but a little wrench turning and now she's running. Its a 30 year old motor after all and a bad stator and trigger should be shocking. She runs good now, and now I wonder, why do people hate them so much? I see so many people scoff at...

Hello all, So I am a new boater and new to force. I just got my 1988 50hp force running and I am curious, what is the proper way to start this thing? Starts pretty easy some times, not so easy others. It still needs proper tuning as I am waiting on a digital Tach in the mail. So far I just...

How's the trigger?

Okay cool thanks I'll keep an eye out for that. Just ordered a tach so I could get the motor properly tuned as per the clymer manual. I've run it after tuning it by ear and seems to be running quite nicely. Thanks for the response!

Okay sweet thanks for the info guys! Top gun, like it will cause a change in RPM? The stator I got matched the serial number for the CDI stators, I figured it must be compatible with multiple force models.

Long story short, I recently purchased a 1988 50 hp Force and had to install a new stator and trigger. I got a used OEM trigger and CDI stator. The CDI stator was quite different from the stock one. Had more coils and two extra wires. I was able to make it work my plugging in wires until I got...
