This is a continuation of the same issue I've been having for a while.

My 1991 Force 35 stalls after it runs for about 30 minutes. On suggestions of people on this forum, I installed a clear fuel filter to see if it was a fuel delivery issue and to basically get cleaner fuel to the motor.

However, it seems the issue is still there. I took the video hoping to showcase the 'tick'. But the quality is not very good. Basically when cold, it starts and runs pretty well. Once it warms up, I've noticed that it has a 'tick'. By this, I mean the motor runs fine but the suddenly makes a clicking/ticking sound and you can visibly seem that motor kicking to one side.

Anyone have experience similar or the same issue? This is driving me crazy.

Thank you for reading. The link is oft he motor running in a barrel. You might be able to see the motor kicking to one side on a particular hard kick/tick. Otherwise the quality isn't the greatest.

I have the same engine it would shut off after high speeds or running for awhile but it never kicked. What I did was replace the fuel bulb (the bulb that is in between the gas tank and the engine) It wasn't allowing enough fuel into the engine. if you squeeze the bulb it shouldn't be hard and mine was hard as a rock. Its only a few dollars so might as well try it hope this helped!

Didn't notice a kick/tick but the smoke was noticeable. Too much oil in the mix? If the 35 has a fuel recirculation system, I'd clean that out. Maybe a fouled plug is the culprit. The compression is good, right?
