    PTT Motor Shims

    Hi all Another follow up to some of my previous posts. Anyone looking for the shim that sits above the 'drive shaft' of the PTT motor, I used an old bread board. Cut it down, used an angle grinder to shape it, and it works a charm. This ultra hard plastic is uv resistant, heat resistant and...

    Hi All I am trying to restart a 50cc quad bike for my 10 year old. It has been dormant for 4 years. The carbs are full of 2 stroke oil. I used some 'start ya bastard', and she fires up real well. I took the carb off, checked the float, but it is full of old oil. Main question- should I soak...

    Power Tilt/Trim question

    Hi all- again;-) My PTT pump is pumping ( whirring noise when switch toggled), but it does not seem to be pumping the hydraulic. I took the top of the unit off, and the bottom of the shaft doesn't seem to have a keyway or any way to slot into the lower unit. When we are bleeding the unit, it...

    PTT Question- after the AAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH

    Hi all So, after checking out my relays/fuses etc, I called (reluctantly) a mobile mechanic/tech, as I am not so great with things electrical. He spent maybe, say, 10 minutes here, and found I didn't tighten the battery terminals enough. $150.00 later for 10 minutes.....DOH DOH DOH DOH...

    Tilt/Trim Question

    Hi All My cover came off my boat last week, and some rain got into the controls and caused the tilt/trim to be stuck on, lifting the engine continuously until the battery ran flat. There are no leaks of fluid etc, and I am recharging the battery, but would this have damaged the PTT unit, or...

    Anzac's unite!

    Hi Aussies and Kiwi's ( and others that read this) I reckon the Aussie/Kiwi consortium on this forum should invite Frank and Jerry for a kiwi/Aussie tour to examine our pride and joy Force/Chrysler outboards, and maybe help us tinker with them, and enjoy the great Southern Hemisphere Summer and...

    Tower Shaft/Neutral Stop Question

    Hi all I was meant to go out today to do a link and sync ( thanks for the sticky Frank) and the weather was complete crud. Anyhow, when my 125 hp 1988 Force is idling, the idle 'creeps' up, and the tower shaft moves all on its own. The mounting screws were loose, and I am yet to check if this...
