94 Force 120 HP

[ronnfolk]

Poor spark. Black oil dripping from Motor. Motor will not start. <br /><br />The problem was low voltage from the stator. Replaced stator with CDI replacement, works like a champ. Decarbed the motor with B-12 from Napa. That took care of the black stuff dripping from the prop area. <br /><br />Note: make sure you get the part number off the stator for a replacement. The motor Serial Number might not tell you what stator you have. Mine turned out to be a Merc. <br /><br />May the Force be with you! <br />Ronn

I personally think Forces are good motors, if they are cared for. Keep 'er decarbed and have a blast!

$1000 to take a look at it? <br />Sounds like he is trying to get rid of you.<br />Will it run?<br />how long did you run it after overheat?<br />Did alarm go off?<br />Did you run it till it seized?<br />1- find a new mechanic<br />2- verify if waterpump is or is not working<br />3 verify that water is circulating thru engine<br />4- check for proper function or replace thermostat
