    Force 120hp Major Overheat

    The hole where you have your finger looks to feed the water out and needs to be blocked off???? How about a couple pics of just the lower unit showing both sides and top. Possible?? the lower case was a used case and it was replaced with the newer style pump base and it doesn't align right...

    1995 Force 120 will no longer idle

    The real test is pinching the hose off as the motor runs. It sounds like you have an electrical problem. The following is the stator test. Need an analog type meter for the basic tests. Will not charge battery: 1. Check resistance between the yellow wires, you should read approximately 0.4 ohms...

    Force 120hp Major Overheat

    Drop the lower, hook a hose to the pickup tube. Start it and check the results. Gets hot then?? Your exhaust passages might be clogged?? The relief ports look like the motors getting plenty of water.

    1995 Force 120 will no longer idle

    Fuel pump can be new and still be bad?? The primer/choke: it has a rubber diaphragm inside that can puncture and feed fuel unrestricted making the idle problem. I believe if you pinch off the hose from the primer to the base of the carb that will show if the primer's gone bad??? You try the...

    It's gonna be a pain but pre mounting to see if the gasket/rubber seal fits right might show the problem??

    1995 Force 120 will no longer idle

    No idle: fuel pump diaphragm, sucking air somewhere. Sucking air: Try this: start the motor and spray starting fluid around the intake side of the motor. This includes the area under the coils/packs, at the carb bases. If the spray makes the motor run differently then it's sucking air. The 4...

    Picked up a 1990 Force 50HP yesterday.

    The float bowl will show what condition the rest of the carb is in. If?? it's real dirty and corroded?? Then the jets and other parts will be that way too. Most times the spray cleaners work just fine.

    If I didn't have the right muff??? I would remove the prop.

    Picked up a 1990 Force 50HP yesterday.

    If you buy the regular ones?? Then use duct tape to seal the edges. The tape needs to be put on before the motor gets wet as it won't stick very good.

    Picked up a 1990 Force 50HP yesterday.

    (Three hours later I went in and told him it was done. Paint was shiny, Vinyl top was white. Looked like a grandma's car. With some timing adjustments, it was the strongest stock 318, I've ever run. A couple years later, I ended up giving it to one of my brothers after I picked up a 78 nova...

    Picked up a 1990 Force 50HP yesterday.

    Back before I started working on anything(cars, boats etc.) I had a 15ft. trihull with a late 70's 85hp Mercury. I decided to go up to a bigger boat. Bought a 31ft.cabin cruiser. The 85Mercury ran good and then started to get hard to start. Sold it to a guy who insisted to start it. I turned the...

    Picked up a 1990 Force 50HP yesterday.

    tg3690, shame on you. Don't rain on his parade, he's just getting started. :) Metalchewy: you bought a good motor, they will last a long time, just use a good oil and keep up the maintenance. That motor needs a special set of muffs for running off the hose. That motor can run on 1 cyl. and run...

    1998 force 120 tilt/trim not working right

    That year the T@T could be one of two styles, the symptoms are the same for both styles, post a pic ? The T@T fluid might be low??(maybe) or the seals in the pump might be bad??(maybe) The being able to lift it up the rest of the way shows low oil or bad seals. Lower the front of the boat...

    Beware the foam inside engine cover

    It happened to both my 1988 85hp ,otors and a bunch of others I've worked on. My solution? just remove it and run without it. I couldn't hardly tell the difference.
