Picked up a 1990 Force 50HP yesterday.

If you buy the regular ones?? Then use duct tape to seal the edges. The tape needs to be put on before the motor gets wet as it won't stick very good.

Am I the only one who removes the prop. If running in a 50 gallon barrel ?

If I didn't have the right muff??? I would remove the prop.

The parts I ordered came in earlier this week.

Got around to taking the carb off. Took a measurement for where the choke rod was set.

When I took it apart, the outside bowl gasket was missing and the float was on upside down. Float pin was tapped in all the way so had to tap it out with a rod.

Took all the plastic apart and.procedded to fill a bucket half full of carb cleaner. Have a gallon of Barryman's under the bench, but it's the new formula and doesn't work nearly as well as the stuff in the can, so, used 4 cans to submerge the carb. Have a couple others to rebuild. Log splitter has a diaphram is going out so will dip that. My old 4bbl on the dart could use a rebuild and will get a few more cans to submerge that when I get to it.

For now the.carb will.sit with the lid on the can and clean for a few hours and will blow it out with the compressor then inspect to see if any varnish is left and reassemble it with the float on right.

The float bowl will show what condition the rest of the carb is in. If?? it's real dirty and corroded?? Then the jets and other parts will be that way too.
Most times the spray cleaners work just fine.

Bowl had a later ov varnish in it. Needle was stuck which released on contact with the spray. There were a few spots that didn't clan off when sprayed that the soak cleaned just fine.

The float needed adjustment. Will install it this afternoon.

 

[metalchewy]

Didn't use the new pin. New needle and gaskets used. it's reassembled and float is set parallel to the carb. Ready for install after some chores this morning.

I did pick it up alone once, to adjust it on the motor dolly. Paid for it later though.
