    Big water leak inside cowl, any tips for this coming repair?

    Okay cool. Yeah I also noticed water leaking from under the lower cowl area (the area that the cowl sits on) so maybe that gasket is leaking too. We will see what Nordin says but perhaps I should change it while I'm in there

    How to set up an induction tachometer

    Okay well that's really good to know then. I though my motor was idling super bad, but sounds like I was setting the idle speed way too low. Still has a miss but not as bad as I probably feared. I guess a tool is only as good as the person using it lol!

    Do all forces have overheat buzzers?

    Ooh well I bought this motor as just a motor plus controls. That might be on the POs boat.

    How to set up an induction tachometer

    Okay so each revolution there are two sparks from each plug, one dry spark and one igniting spark? You think my tach was reading double then? As in my motor was doing 800 at idle, but my tach was reading 1600 pulses?

    How to set up an induction tachometer

    Ooh I see. Maybe the next one I get will be that one if the mighty TopGun likes it. How long is the cord? Would like mount one on my dash.

    Big water leak inside cowl, any tips for this coming repair?

    Okay so the middle one doesn't go between the spacer plate and the powerhead? I could buy just the big one. The serial number seems to match mine.

    How to set up an induction tachometer

    Okay cool I think that is what I tried. I mean my motor could be idling at 1600 rpms. When I tried to reduce the idle for tuning, I could not get it down below 900 however. Granted I'm chasing a misfire so that could be why, but I don't know if I can trust my tach. How many wraps do you do?

    How to set up an induction tachometer

    Hey everyone, so I got one of those cheap induction tachometers to use for tuning my outboards, the ones with the long wire you wrap around a sparkplug wire. I set it up on a Honda kicker and it seems to work well. When I set it up on my 50hp Force, I seems to get 1600 Rpm at idle. Did I set...

    Do all forces have overheat buzzers?

    I have an 88 50 hp force, do all these have overheat buzzers? I'm not sure I mine does. I'd hate to burn up my motor. I added a tell tale that pisses like a racehorse, but I don't know if I should rely on that. Thanks!

    1989 85HP recirculation system

    Hey did this fix your problem? I think I may be in the same boat, no pun intended.

    50 hp high speed misfire

    I understand, but I'm running out of options I think. So far, spark is good, no vacuum leaks, carb is clean, rebuilt and tuned, fuel pump appears to be working well, compression seems good, water is flowing well (blew a gasket so maybe too well haha), fuel tank is good. All I can think to check...

    50 hp high speed misfire

    I will definitely be checking that. I need to pull the powerhead off to replace some exhaust gaskets anyways so I'll do those at the same time. I read a thread on this site with guy with an 85 hp force with the same exact issue. Seafoam dislodged carbon chunks which plugged up his recirc. Plus...

    Big water leak inside cowl, any tips for this coming repair?

    Okay sweet thank you! I wanted to be sure I understood the system correctly so I order the right gaskets. Which gaskets would you recommend I order? I want to make sure I get the right ones.

    50 hp high speed misfire

    So here's what I found in my clymer manual. I think this hits the nail on the head and I'm curious what you all think. So the manual references the fuel recirculation system, which feeds unburnt crankcase fuel back into the cylinders. Fuel pools during idling and gets fed back in to be burned...

    Big water leak inside cowl, any tips for this coming repair?

    Okay, I've read a couple posts also referencing these water leaks, where does the gasket fail and how do these leaks form if the pickup connects directly to the motor?
