That cylinder may not be scored, but the piston is burned. (At least I don't see any serious scoring, but a quick clean with a scotchbrite pad to clean the crud and aluminum off.
If not scored then a piston would take care of the issue. What is the piston size. usually stamped on the top often...
Sad that your old Force has bit the dust.
There should be a number of people who need donor parts like the flywheel and ignitions pieces.
Personally I think that even with the quirks of the Force they have given good service if maintained and the new 2 strokes with all of the air pumps and...
Here is what the CDI troubleshooting guide has to say about two cylinders with no spark:
NO SPARK ON TWO CYLINDERS: 1. If two cylinders from the same CD unit will not spark, the problem is usually in the stator. Test per above. 2. If the engine has a CDI stator installed: A. If #1 and #3 are the...
The orange tube is the carb vent line and it connects to a port on the fire arrestor ("air cleaner") When running the engine pulls in any fumes from the carb vent(s).
The idle screws are set per the manual. I have a 90 hp with three carbs and I run them at 1 1/2 out. I think that the further out...
Check the fuel pump again!. Either there is a leak in the fuel pump or the bottom carb is overflowing. No fuel will flow to any extent from the top to the bottom on the intake manifold as I understand it.
The issue with the ride plate gasket blowing out is probably trying to start it without the...
In my experience with my 90 hp Sport Jet a little ether when cold is ablut the only way to get it to fire.
If anyone knows a good way to get one going reliably (with the enrichment valve system) I am game to try.
I have checked the reeds etc. and I know the throttle has to be completely closed...
Hitting the crank is a bad thing on motors with ball bearing main crank bearings as you hammer the balls on the race and can dent them and hasten failure.
Whatever you do be sure to go and buy some really good bolts, clean the threads with a tap and seat them all the way in.
Cheap harbor freight pullers are OK --- But the cheap bolts that come with them are NOT OK.
A little heat and some light rapping might help.
Try to avoid hammering down on the...
Clean the Bendix so that it moves freely on the spiral grooves. Also the starter has to "snap" when the solenoid engages so that the acceleration of the shaft spins the gear up and into engagement.
If the battery is weak or the starter dragging this will not happen.
Also if the engine does not...
Interesting. However you could also use the Mercury CDM modules as well.
Harnesses can be bought one Ebay to make the conversion.
However.
The issue with any of the CDI/CDM modules is the question of timing advance with RPM.
The difference in the Force/Mercury CDI and CDM is the trigger pickup...
