Force 50 problems

[PumpKinSmasher]

My Force 50 works pretty good. Usually pretty reliable when it comes to start up. But what i have been having problems with is for the past few years it will not perform well if more than one person is in the boat. It works ok otherwise (one person in the boat). Anyone else have a similar problem like that and did you cure it?

Re: Force 50 problems

If it used to perform better, but has slowed down to a crawl, it is probably a spun hub in the prop.<br />If the boat stays in the water, check for waterlogged foam,or a plugged floor drain, retaining water in the hull.<br />If the RPM's will not reach maximum, check the linkage a full throttle, to see that throttle cam is opening the throttle plate (starboard side of carb) all the way open.<br />I hope it is the last one.
