Re: 1989 125 Force Rough at 2000 RPM
Djestes,<br />What I did is take those crappy boots off the end of the wires that plug onto the spark plugs. I went to a Motorcycle cycle shop got some 90 Degree screw on NGK boots from them. These have like a wood screw in the middle that screws onto the wire, so it gets a good contact. They are also waterproof and used to the abuse by being used on Motorcycles. This got rid of every drop of miss that I had. You could give this a try. <br /><br />But yea, do as Sony said. Hook it up on the water muffs, run it at night and see if you see a blue spark jumping anywhere. If you do you know there is something that is broken in the cable or something to allow the spark to jump to ground.<br /><br />Hope this helps. I have an 88 Force 125 HP and Bayliner Capri 19 Foot Bowrider, and it will run right now 40 at 5000 Rpms. I am still working on getting my trim fixed, but I'm gonna try to push this boat to at least 45 if I can, lol. I am running a Hustler 17 Pitch Prop and this thing makes it jump out of the hole, also put boyeson reeds in it. They helped quite a bit to.<br /><br />She now runs smooth as a whistel at every RPM, and just goes when I hit the throttle no matter what speed I'm at, but full throttle, no where else to go yet.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Bryan Cox<br />MTU
