    Fried wires to Regulator/Rectifier.

    Those Amphenol connectors SUCK!!! Time causes the connection/grease to loose it's connection and it will spark causing the heat and burning inside the connection. Use a better butt connectors and forget the grease.

    Force 120 or 125?

    The Black/blue motors started in 1987 The 125 was made until 1989 then changed to 120. No difference just a different rating. One measured at the prop the other at the block(I think). The Ignition packs are Blue they are OEM until 1990 then they came out with Black packs/coils. The black coils...

    What would make a flywheel hard to spin? Starter won't spin it.

    Usually when comp is low between the 2 middle cylinders the head gasket is the culprit, But that's over now. You'll love the new motor. The dealer will sell the parts and charge like new prices. Keep it and make some $$$ for yourself.

    1995 Force 120 no water pumping through powerhead

    FYI: that idle screw isn't for the idle, That screw is for the air/fuel mix screw. It meters the amount of air/fuel burning at idle. The idle is set using the towershaft.

    Just remember to buy the Wiseco wrist pins and rings. They won't work right unless you do.

    Extending trim switch to engine cowel.

    Trouble with that diagram is the power is from the ignition switch. Needs to be ran from the power at the circuit breaker. That way it has power all the time unless there's a battery switch??

    Extending trim switch to engine cowel.

    Tap into the leads before the relays. That's low voltage and won't overheat the switch.

    Attempting a motor rebuild

    Not sure you can re-sleeve this motor. Parts are available. Check Wiseco pistons. I've had good luck when I use them.

    1989 force 85hp shift pivot screw

    His has the Vent/Fill screws. I use them, but once it's full I go to the vent and add until it comes out the other hole. Then repeat it a couple of times until all the air's gone. The 88/85's I had(4) all weep'd at the drain plug no matter what I did to stop it.

    Still do a compression test.

    1989 force 85hp shift pivot screw

    Your very lucky you got it back in right. Test: have someone spin the prop as you try shifting the control. VERY IMPORTANT to spin the prop, you can do damage to the linkage and control if not spinning. Spin, shift and it should go into gear and lock the prop in both directions. The drain plug...

    Extending trim switch to engine cowel.

    What I thought he asked for was putting in a switch in the cowl so he can tilt from the back of the boat.

    Just sillycone the old one back in(if possible) then do a compression test. The top of the piston can look great but if the rings are seized that can throw the comp off. On the stbd. side are the port covers, you can take them off inspect the rings.

    Extending trim switch to engine cowel.

    You'll need a 3 way and wire it to the existing wiring under the cowl. The 87/88 started putting the relays and wiring under the cowl. They make a heavy duty 3 way switch to handle the load(might need it????) Remember Blue lead is for UP Green lead is for Down

    What would make a flywheel hard to spin? Starter won't spin it.

    (He said his best guess would be the cylinder timing was off and was creating high compression pressure preventing the engine from turning over.) I have experienced this in automobile engines, when changing the distributor, but never in an outboard. Put the gasket back on, use sillycone and let...

    Most common problems with 4 cyl / 3cyl chrysler outboards

    The new is a lot different than some of the older variety. The old recirc system would just dump the fuel overboard.
