    50 hp high speed misfire

    Do the starting fluid test. Start motor, spray SF around the intake side of the motor, that includes under the coils and pack, around the port covers(2) a the base of the carb. The port covers have a gasket that can fail with a misfire, cough and stutter allowing the motor to run crappy.

    Need to adjust the dial 1990 Force carbs mixture

    1990 WHAT??? The 3cyl. the carbs are set at 1 turn and left there. "Factory direction" You might need to adjust them and 1/8th turn should be all you need. The 125/120/150/50 all need to be set at 1 1/2 turn out then adjusted from there. In the water. Warm motor and in gear, slowly turn the...

    The fall

    Last week I found how far down the ground is. I tripped over a jack stand and landed on a Mercruiser lower unit and a electric scooter. I thought I broke my arm/shoulder. Nope, just scraped and bruised everywhere. Haven't been able to move good or at all. Younger, I would have bounced, not...

    Why does everybody hate Force?

    Force and Johnson around 1988 85hp. Both got about the same mileage. A customer had a 23 225 and my 21 with twin 85 Forces got just about the same 3.2 mpg. Force was actually cheaper to fix than ALL the other outboards. AND there was NO MAJIC in fixing them, just get the manual and a DVA meter...

    Force outboard maintenance

    88/50 That's a good motor and can last a long time. The others have covered just about all on the regular list. Gonna add 1 thing. The Force/Chrysler can develop a problem. I call it the starting fluid test. Start the motor and spray starting fluid around the intake side of the engine. That...

    Is this a L drive or not?

    What happened to my other post??? My 1st reply disappeared?? Censorship? That motor is a Force adapted to a through hull application. NOT a good idea at all. Thay got the nickname Hell Drive. Hard to work on, harder to locate parts and expensive. The motor itself is the same dependable one...

    Can I use any 2 stroke oil?

    The "other" oil is way different than TCW3 The other oil can cause the rings to seize from carbon deposits. TCW3 doesn't have the ash that causes carbon on the rings

    1988/125

    My twin Force 88/85hp. ran best at 44-4600rpm. 3.2 mpg Past that it was faster but the economy suffered. I found the right prop and load along with trim position makes all the difference.

    Bad trigger? Can’t adjust timing

    I'd bet it's sucking air someplace?? Get it running, can of starting fluid, spray the SF around the intake side of the motor, this includes under the packs and the base of thew carbs and the 4 port covers. If? this makes any difference in the way it runs?? then it's sucking air
