The main Chrysler club is in Michigan and they have Nationals in the midwest and regional meets out there. Let us on the East Coast also have a regional meet sometime next season. I am thinking someplace on the Chesapeake would be centrally located and we could have some coverage in the...

To all Chrysler outboard and boat owners in the Tri- State area or Delmarva area of the East Coast: Go to boating destinations forum for info on a regional get-together.

Simple question, but here's the set-up: It is at speed in the avatar. I have a 10 foot Cougar Cub tunnel hull powered by a Chrysler 50. It is swinging a bronze 10 1/2 X 14 two blade prop, trailing edge fully cupped from hub to outer edge of the blade, right into where the edge transitions...

To all those on the forum. As you realize I have not been on for a while. Unfortunately, on August 27, Mary, my wife of 37 years died suddenly at 61 years of age and there were many pressing tasks to perform. Unfortunately, for the near future, I anticipate my time on the forum will be...

Since one of my major faults is I think too much, and another is I question things: I had a Stator for a 1980 something Force. Quick connect fittings, before they went to the terminal board on the mounting plate. One side of it was bad and would not charge the CD box. Being eternally curious...

Working on a supposedly 1987 four cylinder Merc 100, oil injected, serial OB346811. The accelerator pump is bad and squirting out fuel--radically at higher RPM to the degree where the engine is starving. And yes, it is an accelerator pump for gasoline, located just below the throttle cam, not...

Have any of you ever seen a prop radically damaged by picking up a ski rope? I have a friend who damaged a 13 inch diameter repaired aluminum prop. The welded tips were broken off about an inch in on each blade and the blades were bent back about an inch or two at remainder of the tips. I...

Gentlemen: What is the correct starting setting for the low speed needles on a 94 looper 50HP Johnson model J50TLERE? Needles are now set at 2 1/4 turns out and that seems excessive. Thanks, Frank.

About two weeks ago I bought an nice early 1980s Chrysler 50 for 80 bucks. Seller just acquired it with a lot of several other engines and just did not want to bother with it. Cosmetically it was in great shape and seemed to have no corrosion problems. Finally, today I got to do some testing...

For you owners of Chrysler 55, 60, and 65 HP engines with the 3.375 bore: I just ordered a piston for a 1997 Mercury Force 75 Hp. To my surprise, I found that the piston is a direct replacement. All you need to do is drill the skirt ports that the Chrysler needs. Personally, I have been...

I don't normally expect people to reply to a sticky post so I do not check it often. However, I noticed a few questions were posted so I will try to answer them. For a timely answer, you are probably better off making a new post with your question. Noah: The 2 cylinder is a bit different...

Ok, Gentlemen: What is the pitch of a michigan PR 278 aluminum 3 blade for Chrysler/Force? Please, thank-you, you're welcome.

I see you are from Orange county (I assume from your name O.C.N.Y., not Cal. Do you run the Hudson? What about Greenwood lake?

CAUTION! HISTORY AND SCIENCE CONTENT! Periodically, the controversy over what octane fuel to use arises. Here is the answer. Use this infomation as you desire. When air is compressed in a closed cylinder it heats up. The compression ratio can be high enough to auto-ignite the fuel. Indeed...

This is no problem--it is just an example of what can be done with Chrysler engines. Take that, all you black force owners! White Chryslers rule! Learning how to properly post photos.

Good afternoon gents! Can anyone tell me the pitch of a Michigan 10 inch diameter aluminum prop # 012084? It was on an old OMC 40 hp. Thanks in advance.

This one is for Spinkick: It is really rather easy to replace a piston in these engines. Even though you have a 1998 Force and I have not yet done one, the block is the same as earlier Force engines and replacement will be the same. The .020 stamped on the top of your piston indicates it...

Unfortunately I must be very general since adequate info was not available! Question: What would be an approximate value of a Switzer hull about 18 feet long, year unknown? It must be relatively old since the gel-coat is well oxidised. No seats, helm and cable need replacing, bow light...

Here is something interesting for all you Chrysler and early Force four cylinder engine owners. In an experiment to reduce fouling of plugs at idle I changed the oil recirculation system. It was a very minor modification. Chrysler and early Force 4 cylinder engines recirculated excess oil...

I caught my friend dumping dirt bike 2 cycle oil in his 115 horsepower outboard gas tank. Knowing that dirt bikes run hotter and the oil is formulated differently, I advised him against it, but being a rather stubborn fellow he went ahead with it.--After all, "Says on the label it meets TC...
