Re: 1988 force 125 dies when shifting into gear
Fouled plugs? Howz it run without the cowling off? You might have poor exhaust thru the ports due to a miss aligned or torn boot and the cowling vents aren't enough, the engine is starving for air under load...it happened to me and I addressed this issue and performance was much improved, dont forget to clean those plugz too..

Re: 1988 force 125 dies when shifting into gear
What's the rpm in gear and motor warm?
Needs to be 750-800 in gear.About 1100-1200 in neutral.
Setthe idle in the water in gear.
Do a compression/spark test.JIF YOUR OUTBOARD DOESN"T START WITHING A FEW SECONDS THEN SOMETHING"S WRONG!!!!
boats . net is NOT the place to buy parts.They managed to screw up my last 4 orders.
NO communication,NO follow through. Incompetent staff.Nuff said!
Buy American made Cars and Trucks!!!Towing insurance for a boat,a GREAT thing.
If you fix your problem,do the rest of the posters a favor and send in one more post telling who,what, how it was fixed.J
