1991 50hp Force

[gfinale]

I'm in the process of getting a manual for my new (used)engine but need some info ASAP. The main questions are the following:<br /><br />1) What is the proper Champion spark plug code? One store is asking which ignition system and I don't even have a clue how to tell. The plugs in it are RL82C but this is not either on their list!<br /><br />2) Is the best manual the Seloc or Clymer?<br /><br />3) Is the year in the model number? My number ends in 91C and I'm thinking that means 1991. Just trying to make sure. I know the boat is 91 and believe boat and motor purchase new together.<br /><br />4) Does anyone have some good links for more information on this motor? So far I have found www.yandina.com, www.outboardparts.com and www.maxrules.com. <br /><br />Thanks in advance.

the only thing I can help with right now is the manual selection, IM not really thrilled with the SELOC manual.<br /><br />its ***d some good info, buts not organized like any other tech manual Ive ever had ( and Ive had several)<br /><br />I find it really hard to look stuff up in it, and it lacks alot of details, and specifics, ESPECIALLY for a 50 Horse FORCE ( ivve got an 88 50 FORCE)

Ok. I'll go with the Clymer, ozarkjeep. Thanks.

I have a 92 force 50hp and I use Champion L76V plugs. They are surface gap plugs. I also change them often.

Hey gfinale, the book list UL18V or QL76V for your 1991C 50hp. In 1992 they went to L76V and in 1987-1989 they used L82C.<br />As for books I use the Clymer and like it alot. Yes the 91C means 1991 model change C.<br />Good luck.

Since it is a 91 the RL82C plugs that are in it are the wrong ones. Now I just have to figure out whether it has a Thunderbolt or Prestolite ignition. Apparently this determines which of the two plugs dcsjr listed is the one.
