    85hp chrysler charger

    Hi guys, I am looking at a spare for my boat and came across a 85hp Chrysler charger, firstly, what is the charger? From my manual the charger has a higher compression than the normal 85hp, does this sound right. I will be doing a compression test on it upon inspection, as they all say she is a...

    tilt trim arrival

    Well I finally got my tilt trim motor, and found that the bloke when he pulled the valve body off has scored the sides of the reservoir causing it now to leak around the base of the reservoir. Could I just get away with a new seal or should I change out the reservoir part of the pump, as I have...

    1985 85 hp ignition help

    Re: 1985 85 hp ignition help You will get a low reading across positive and negative of the starter and this is normal as the starter is a motor which is just a coil of wire creating a magnetic field which in turn, spins the rotor. But if you have the starter disconnected from ground and you...

    I know you are all going to say what I have probably heard and read before, but I can't get that expletive :grumpy:s/s grub screw out to put in a pisser above the thermostat housing.

    105hp with 2 low cylinders

    Hi guys, can I ask you what your thoughts are on a 105hp that I could buy for $100. The only problem is freight might kill me. The guy I am buying off says it still runs fine but has low comp on top 2 cylinders. It will probably cost me around $250 to freight.

    Correct procedure for compression test

    Hi Guys, I am a little concerned I haven't done my last compression test correctly. I only got 75psi on the top two cylinders, which had 125 psi when I bought the motor. The motor runs and starts fine which makes me suspicious on my latest compression findings. Is there a special way to do...

    Re: 75 hp Chrysler Removal Not positive but it usually goes to a s/s bracket which holds the motor into the boat as per these photos, I am a bit unsure how you have a 79 or 80 model with it though it stopped after 78 I thought. and your motor looks like a 79 onwards from the gear housing, I had...

    Hi guys, after painting the boat, I decided to start the old 100hp up and give her a clean out, she started as usual first start but had to crank a lot more than usual, but it idled and ran fine. I was a bit puzzled why it cranked so many times before starting as it usually starts about 4-5...

    Re: 35 hp Force 357f7b Impeller/ lower unit problems Cause for not spitting water, Thermostat not opening? Thought I would post the part pic for the lower unit, more so because I haven't seen much of the force motors, but they aren't too different to the Chrysler as I expected. Have you...
