    1995 Force 90HP Starter?

    Keel Guard Question?

    Fuel Question?

    When I was young at the end of the day on the lake, my father would disconnect the fuel line to the motor and let it run out of fuel before we trailered the boat. He had a late 70's Johnson 50HP and it ran with no problems for about 12 years before my father sold the boat. I have heard twice on...

    1995 Force 90 HP lost power?

    Guys, I did a compression check this afternoon. I have never done this check before, so I tried to be consistent with each check. Here is what I got: Top- 130, M- 130, B- 130. My gauge only reads by increments of 5 so I could be off a little. Are these numbers good for my motor? 1995 Force...

    I have 1995 Force 90HP that up until last week ran great. I have it mounted on a 2002 Key West 1720 DC that usually runs about 37 to 38 mph @ 5000 rpms. Last week I had just got underway at full throttle when the motor hesitated and the speed dropped to about 32 mph and the rpms went to 4000. It...

    Force 90HP By Mercury Marine

    I just purchased a used Key West 1720 DC with a 90 HP Force. Can someone help me figure out what year this motor is? The serial number is QE122348. The only other number I can see on the motor is near the top spark plug - 900-819857-02 - looks like a part #? Everyone tells me the motor is junk...
