    1987 125 hp force stalls in reverse

    Boat runs fine in neutral and forward. If I go slow and feather the throttle in reverse it tends to stall. I've bumped the idle up seeing if would help but didn't.

    1987 force 125 plug wire question

    My main thought currently is the plug wire going into coil. As the no.1 wire can twist inside the coil. I gave a lil tug and feels like it is still secure to coil.

    1987 force 125 plug wire question

    Get a random high rpm buck. Feels like a plug miss. Replace my fuel pump just because. Replaced plugs and noticed a few of my wires can turn some in the coils. No. 1 wire feels loose in the coil. Could this cause a miss? Is there a way to fix this without replacing coils? And when I looked at...

    1987 125 hp throttle slop

    Plan A worked. Drilled spring pin holes out to 3/32 and put new pins in. Slop is gone and WOT is now reached. Honestly other then removing pins and sliding attachments off of rod, I do believe only way to get this off in one piece is to remove powerhead. By removing flywheel and stator I was...

    1987 125 hp throttle slop

    I'm going to drill and install a larger spring pin. Only thing I've figured is removing all the spring pins, sliding shaft in and putting attachments and pins back in. If plan A doesn't work that's what I'm doing

    1989 Force 85 WOT

    I've had this same issue except the lower piece on shaft has slop in it. If throttle is wot you can physically grap the shaft and the slop will let it open the plates the rest of the way

    1987 125 hp throttle slop

    That's all I was wondering. I have one ordered and hoping it's a simple procedure.

    1987 125 hp throttle slop

    Big question. Do I have to remove the flywheel to remove this shaft.

    1987 125 hp throttle slop

    Took this photo of one online. It's this piece that's moving. I don't want to create a bigger mess for myself as I can still take the boat out and use it. I thought about trying to take it out and drill and bolt that solid but I knowhow a 5 min job turns into 5 months lol.

    1987 125 hp throttle slop

    Alrighty. Found my slop. At the bottom of the tower shaft there is a piece that from what I can tell should have a pin keeping it in place. I'm guessing it came loose in the past as it appears there is jb weld over it. That failed. When I have my throttle at wot I can physically move the top...

    1987 125 hp throttle slop

    Had a break in the weather and crawled under the boat cover. I reached under and felt the cable as I moved the throttle. It actually starts moving about the ti.e it's pointing at the upper left screw. It doesn't start moving the linkage from what I can see until the second picture. Will have...

    1987 125 hp throttle slop

    I have a good idle. Boat actually runs fine. I just feel like I'm only getting about 75% throttle

    1987 125 hp throttle slop

    I was going to try that but I'm pretty sure I'm not getting enough throw from the cable. When I look under the cable is pivoting alot before it starts to move. When I have it at neutral the butterflies are closed. When throttle is wot I can manually move the linkage to open butterflies the rest...

    1987 125 hp throttle slop

    This is my shifter. First pic is neutral. 2nd is when throttle first moves and last is all the way. This is my 2nd full year of owning the boat. Tach doesn't work and I've had it max out at 33 mph. I haven't had a chance to see if butterflies are fully open at wot. Maybe tomorrow. Just hate the...
