Yep, That's what I'm doing. Right now I estimate about $300 in parts. Prop shaft and bearings are in pretty good shape. Replacing all seals, pump, both bearing sets for the lower drive shaft and retainers (I trashed the retainers during disassembly because I didn't have the spanners to...
JerryJerry05, Jiggz & Racerone,
You guys called it right! I dropped the lower unit and the motor rotates just fine! Further investigation into the lower unit revealed that the lower drive shaft was binding. The upper bearing was trashed (it has some melted pieces of the bearing cage globbed...
Fellow Force Owners-I was running my 1990 Force 90 on the muffs and shut it down (nothing unusual). Later on (after a few hours) I went to start it again and the starter would engage, but would bare rotate the flywheel and then, it wouldn't rotate it at all. I had just gotten a new battery and...
Gm280, thank you, that’s what I was looking for. I think people believe zinc chromate is hard to find is because of the health hazard (it’s a carcinogen), but, nonetheless it’s still readily available. I’m going to take a closer look at the primers and paint you recommended. Any place in...
Planning to do some corrosion work and repainting on my 1990 Force 90. I have the powerhead removed and all attaching hardware (i.e. ignition components, flywhell, carbs, etc.) removed and out of the way (see attached pic). I want to abrasive blast the powerhead with aluminum oxide abrasive...
All - I have a 1990 Force 90 outboard - Model # 906X90C. Looking to do a powerhead rebuild. How do I know if I have top guided or bottom guided connecting rods (before I do a tear down)?
All, I was thinking about getting a fuel filter/water separator for my 1990 Force 90. I think I'm getting condensation in my fuel tank (can't always keep it full) and want to keep the water out to help prevent corrosion. Any recommendations as to which brand and model of fuel filter/water...
I own a 90 Bayliner Capri 1800 Bowrider that I'm doing a little electrical restoration work on. I'm installing replacement gages and additional gages on my dash (no problems with that), but I also want to add switch lighting. The original rocker switches on the dash (there are three on each...
Gents (and Ladies), I want to install a temp gage sender (for a gage) on my 1990 Force 90. I already have the sensor for the over temp buzzer installed (and sealed) on the middle of the head (comes that way from the factory I believe. Is it possible (or even advisable) to install a temp gage...
I'm brand new to fiber glass repair, finishing and gelcoating, so please excuse my ignorance and stupid questions. I got a few old screw holes and some nicks and dings to patch on my 1990 Bayliner Capri. Some of the dings are on the bottom of the hull and the old screw holes and other dings...
I'm trying to find a part for my 1990 Force 90 motor. Its the motor leg seal (part number F178323) and it appears to be discontinued. My old one is falling apart (I've tried to hold it together with epoxy) and I need to replace it. Any ideas or suitable substitutes that anyone knows about?
I'm looking for a flushing device for my 1990 Johnson 8 HP. It's got that weird water inlet tube with a screen that is viewable above and below the cavitation plate. I don't even know if there IS a flushing device/kit for this style of water inlet for this motor. Anybody know? Got any part...
Here's a simplified schematic of my Force 90 and the ignition switch. Of course it's for my Capri, but the basic wiring between the engine and your ignition switch is likely identical. As has been mentioned by other posters (far more seasoned than I), check your connections EVERYWHERE, even...
I have a 1990 Johnson 8 HP. I'm taking apart the exhaust cover (had a broken elbow fitting that I couldn't get out). Anyways, the outer exhaust cover came off easily (six bolts and you're done). The stack up is outer exhaust cover-gasket-inner exhaust cover-gasket-crankcase. The inner...
