    125 Force Plugged Water Flow

    Ran the boat onto an uncharted sandbar and filled it with sand. Replaced the impeller and cleaned out all the sand there. My plug seems to be up towards the engine, possibly between the thermostat and the pee holes.<br /><br />If I put a hose to the pee holes it comes out the exhaust port by the...

    Replacing 125 Force Exhaust Boot

    Have an '85 Force 125 with an exhaust leak that suffocates the engine at idle/low speeds. Leak is coming from the small rubber boot leading to the prostate holes (sorry, they aren't really pee holes). <br /><br />Anyone have any suggestions on replacing it? It looks simple if you have tiny...

    Carburator maintenance

    Howdy all,<br />I have an evinrude 40 2 cylinder from 1985. I am in the process of replacing the VRO pump on it. I am wondering, while I have it apart should I clean the carbs out? Maybe just spraying in some carb cleaner?<br />Any suggestions would be helpful.<br />Mic

    Evinrude 40hp VRO, pinched gas line??

    Howdy All.<br />I have a '86 Evinrude 40 horse VRO motor. During a two week fishing trip (never when you are at home) a problem started. I can start the motor and it idles fine. I accelerate fine. But, after running 15-30 seconds the engine cuts back to idle speed, then revs, then idle. If I...
