    Replace kill switch or bypass?

    So, from what I researched about my Force motor, this motor is definitely not a 1994. From all the images I have looked at, my motor is a 96-99

    Replace kill switch or bypass?

    Still can not find any kind of label with the year and serial #. But I have been looking at Force motors from google images and my motor definitely looks like a 96-99 completely different from the 90-94 motor ( I still don't know what is up with the 1995 motor, but that still looks totally...

    Replace kill switch or bypass?

    I'll take more pics in a couple hours, but the magnets are chipped up pretty good. Are the CDM units the black coil packs? Any other thoughts on the year of motor? Thanks

    Replace kill switch or bypass?

    I took the flywheel and stator off and found the magnets in the flywheel to be quite damaged. 261 9007-C4 was stamped inside the flywheel. Attached are some pics. I'll take more this afternoon. Thank you in advance.

    Caltric has a stator on ebay that fits 96-99 Force 120 hp ELPT and ELPT 25 Do you think this would be the right part?

    Replace kill switch or bypass?

    I think my whole spark problem is that I believed that the motor was a 1994. I bought a new stator and voltage regulator for a 1994 model. If the motor is a 1996-1999 the stator and regulator may be different from the 1994 model.

    Replace kill switch or bypass?

    From my posts about my lower unit not coming off, I have been informed that my motor is NOT a 1994 it is a 96-99 model. This may be the reason I can't find the things I am looking for, and also I have possibly ordered the wrong parts. I could not find any label showing the year or serial #...

    Lower unit does not want to come off

    That would explain a lot of things if the motor is not a 1994. I could not find any label with year or serial # and just assumed that since the boat was a 1994 that the engine would also be a 1994. That may also be my problem with the electric- I ordered parts for a 1994. The lower unit does...

    Lower unit does not want to come off

    I've seen that bolt on you tube videos but on my motor, there is no bolt under the trim tab. Thank you

    Lower unit does not want to come off

    I am having several problems with my 1994 Force 120 hp outboard and could use more advice. I already have a thread up about my motor not having any spark then the steering cable is frozen and now the lower unit does not want to come off. I will keep torching the steering cable and hope it...

    1994 Force 120 hp Shaft length?

    Well the guy sold the motor I was hoping to buy, so shaft length is not as important to me right now. I do need to get the lower unit off, and she does not want to budge. I going to start a new thread to try to get some advise on that. Thanks for the assistance. Griggsmars

    1994 Force 120 hp Shaft length?

    I measured it, the distance is 24" but that is with a spacer on top of the transom. If you take away the 3" spacer it is closer to 20 "

    1994 Force 120 hp Shaft length?

    Hello, I am trying to determine the shaft length of my 1994 Force 120 hp outboard. I have been trying to remove the lower unit, but it will not budge right now. I watched You Tube videos of lower unit removals and mine is a little different than the ones in the videos. On the videos you...

    94' Suntracker pontoon 30' controls question

    I don't believe is is the kill switch. I tested it by wiring it up to a bilge pump I had. The bilge did not run when the switch was in the ON position, but did run when it was in the OFF position as if the lanyard was pulled off. Not sure if it is a normal open or normal closed situation...

    Replace kill switch or bypass?

    That's what I thought you would say. I have already replaced stator and voltage regulator. Not sure where to look next.

    Replace kill switch or bypass?

    Thank you for the advise. Out of curiosity I tried testing the kill switch by wiring it to a spare bilge pump I had. The bilge did not run when the switch was in the ON position but when I turned the switch to the OFF position it ran. Does this confirm that the switch is bad? I'm scratching...

    Replace kill switch or bypass?

    Hello, I have a '94 Force Mercury 120 hp on a Suntracker Pontoon boat. I lost spark and believe the kill switch could be the culprit. I have been looking for a kill switch to swap out the old one, but can not seem to find a direct match. Can I just bypass the kill switch until I can find a...
