    1989 Force 125 water pump torque values

    I agree with The Force power.....they probably reduced the torque value because the housing is plastic.....the aluminum housings had 4 bolts and used the 70 in/lb torque. They put the torque values on the plastic pump housing to make sure you don't over torque it.

    Chrysler 75hp, need direction.

    I have the 85HP version of your engine, they are basically the same except for output. Had a problem develop where running with engine warmed up and under load, would shut off.....like you turned the key off. Would restart like nothing was wrong....then at high rpms would do it again, over and...

    Chrysler 75hp, need direction.

    You have it backwards.....it turns CW when looking down from above. There is a static test you can do for the preamp, but I don't think it has anything to do with your issue......

    1984 force 125 Leaking tilt and trim?

    You replaced the trim cylinder, tilt cylinder, and the valve body twice.....and still not working right. All I can think of is those valve bodies are the China clones.....if you still have the original factory VB you could try to repair it using the info in the stickies at the top of this...

    1984 force 125 Leaking tilt and trim?

    That tilt cylinder, with the nick in it and that hole you plugged up, makes sense to replace it.....was wondering what kind of VB you replaced that china one with?

    1984 force 125 Leaking tilt and trim?

    Is this the one with the nick in the cylinder wall? If it is that could be part of the problem and not repairable......once I used a vice to hold the tilt cylinder when taking the cap off, bad mistake. You couldn't tell by looking at it but it deformed it enough where the ram wouldn't...

    1984 force 125 Leaking tilt and trim?

    Is this the TILT cylinder with the knick? Any knicks or gouges in the cylinder wall is not good.....can damage the o-rings and not seal good. And anytime a line is removed you will have to bleed the air out again.

    Chrysler Break in Procedure

    When you go to do the 20 min idle, you may find you have more work to do....won't start, leaks, etc. That 20 min run on the hose is just to make sure the engine is ready to run on the water....like The Force power said, the rest of the running needs to be done in the water and under load.......

    If you click on the Technical Help tab there is a lot of good information there...FYI.

    Chrysler Break in Procedure

    You could do it all in one day if you wanted to but 10 hours of actual running is a long time.....probably more realistic to do several hours at a time. Have never seen anything that says it has to be done in a certain time frame....so if you want to run it at high idle/neutral for 20 mins then...

    Chrysler Break in Procedure

    https://maxrules.com/fixbreakin.html My factory manual shows a PH break in procedure, but I used this one from MasterTech Marine.....is basically the same but has a lot more detail and additional info.

    1984 force 125 Leaking tilt and trim?

    Was thinking that Chinese VB you got on ebay was suspect, now you have the motor apart...don't have much experience with that part of the system. If all else fails, Mastertech Marine has new API replacement units with complete motor and valve body assembly. Not cheap, but available...FYI

    Do all forces have overheat buzzers?

    Had an extra horn laying around, got the LED light at local parts store.....bought a temp gauge/sender from Faria Beede, but there are others available.....maybe should have went with a water pressure gauge instead.....
