    1990 120ho force king pin question

    Not an easy job. To make it easier, the head and lower unit needs to come off. If it's ever been in salt water?? 10X harder. Need a factory manual too. An acetylene torch helps. Take pics and post the procedures when done.

    1990 Force outboard 230ho removed upper bearing by cutting and left a crease need advice

    The bearing you removed was a pressed on bearing. It should have been pressed off to avoid any damage. The "loosesness" probably wasn't a problem. When reassembled the collar with the seal would have stopped the wiggle. New bearing might go on with the chill/heat procedure or rig up a press...

    1974 Chrysler 135 hp limping

    I have a bucket of old parts that I give away usually for the cost of shipping. I pay the shipping and ask the person to donate that amount to a no kill pet center. So far it's worked out good :) Gotta be honest!!

    Back into the 1989 85hp rebuild

    Yes they work together. The coil test: swap position and see if spark follows the swap. The pack test: swap position and see if it follows the swap.

    1974 Chrysler 135 hp limping

    I've been working on Force's and selling parts for over 35+ years and can say I've never ripped anybody off. Some people think they've got a gold mine and charge way too much. Saw a lower unit from a 88/125 The guy wanted $1000 Shame on him.

    If the pump was OK?? do what Racerone suggested. Remove the cover and push on the rings and see if they are loose or stuck.

    Look at the post, explains the Starting Fluid Test. #3 cyl is the port that runs the fuel pump. Inspect that.

    Reeds?

    "A bit of a pop" ??? Any pop, cough, stutter can cause a gasket to blow and the motor is going to suck air and the performance goes out the window. The first test is the "Starting fluid test" Start the motor and spray SF around the intake side of the motor. Undeer the coils, packs and intake...

    1985 Force 85 tilt/trim motor question

    Like Nordin said: You have to hold the brushes back and slide it over the armature. Google is a big help. The schematic shows the pump/electric motor. The position of the top shows the wire oriented to the back of the housing. make sure it looks that way when assembled.

    Back into the 1989 85hp rebuild

    Starting fluid test: Can of SF, start motor and run at idle or just above idle. Then spray SF around the intake side of the motor. Motors divided into intake side and exhaust side. The intake side is(looking at the carbs) the left side of the motor and under the ignition equipment. The packs...

    120hp Force year?

    120hp Force year?

    About a 1992 to 1994. Pics of the lower unit will help narrow it down. When you can touch it? there's a round foundry stamp with the year in the center, located under the pack and coils or under the bottom carb on the intake.
