Good morning everyone. I just came across this forum and I think it the greatest thing in the world.... or a close second to drinking beer out on the boat on a hot, sunny, summer day....
Ref post "Cylinder not firing?"
I have almost the same problem with my 1989 Force 125HP engine.
The # 2 cylinder (of the 4 cylinders) is not firing. I have good compression, and good spark.
My guess is I'm having gas problems.
One person thought that I have a vacuum problem in the crank case. I sprayed starter fluid all around the casing seal checking for "pick-up". nothing.
I was wondering if the reads in the carb might have something to do with the cylinder not firing?
What other problems could cause the cylinder to not work?
AND....
If the problem is gas related, is their some kind of device I could rent to check the amount of fuel making it into the cylinder?
Thanks for your help.
Bill
