    How bad will a low stator reading affect performance?

    After last months headache with my own motor (running great now!), I've taken on one of my coworkers 1988 85hp. (Bang head here) I'm finding the stator is reading 630 (instead of the 680-800) Should he send it out to be reworked? Thing starts but seems to be having issues at idle. Likes to...

    Changed my stator and now idle is 2500 RPM? What did I screw up?

    Finally got last weeks project done.... Got the stator back on and fired it up today... Only to "idle" super high.... and I don't have any sorts of throttle control when I have it in the neutral warm up mode.... Have full range of motion in gear , but nothing in neutral. Manual doesn't seem...

    Motor swap.... Power trim? Are the mounting brackets the same?

    Kicking around swapping my mtr out.... The current one on the boat (mdl 856x8A) has power trim. The one in the garage (856x7A) doesn't have power trim.... In looking at it, It doesn't appear to have the correct mounting bracket to use with power trim.... There is no place for the rams to...

    Will parts from a 96 Force 90hp fit a late 89 Force 85hp?

    Looking at a parts motor (96) for 100 bucks.... No lower unit on it. Are the coil packs and stator interchangeable on the 2? Its a hike to get it and I don't want to burn the gas if nothing is going to fit my 85hp. I could've used a spare starter last week.... Thank god for kicker motors!

    Carb rebuild and now it's overheating??

    Not quite sure what I screwed up..... Rebuilt the carbs, put it on the muffs....Fired right up. Ran it about 2 minutes and the alarm went off. Set the idle screw at the factory spec (1 1/8 turn out) so I know its not running lean. If anything, I'm running rich cause shes smoking more than...

    Spare red wire on CD Mod?....88 Force 85hp.

    Thankfully.... My trusty 85hp has been purring along the last few years without a problem. Couple weeks ago... it was starving for fuel. Thanks to the depth of the forums (and the search button!) We dialed in the fuel pump. Waiting on parts to show up for that gig. Had a buddy of mine over...

    07 4hp yami... need help with the throttle cable placement.

    Greetings.... FNG here and I hope somebody can salvage my vacation this week.. Was out fishing the detroit river Friday night when the set screw came out of the handle and it disconnected..... In the course of screwing around with that the throttle cable came off. In looking at it, there is 2...
