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

    New parts go bad in the package: bought 4 Tempo fuel balls. All 4 bad. Testing stators: they can test good but still be bad. :(

    Most common problems with 4 cyl / 3cyl chrysler outboards

    Only one way to know if the recirc system is working: take it apart and check the screens and the small nipples for clogs. A welders tip tool to clear the nipples. A can of carb cleaner with the small red tube to flush the nipples.

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

    Should have done a compression test before removing the head. Low comp on 1 or more cylinders can cause hard turning.

    50 hp tiller conversion

    You'll have a heck of a time finding parts. Best bet is find a motor that has the tiller already.

    85 HP Force Trim/Tilt Inconsistent

    The T@T system has a couple of relays that the connections go bad. Take them apart and clean the connections on EVERYTHING!! They can be gotten at a good parts store like Napa where they have a parts person. Not a store like Advance or o Ryley's

    85 force propeller replacement

    Next time just send the old prop out to be reworked. I think just about all boat sales places can get that done. Not sure anymore what the cost is but way cheaper and absolutely no rehabbing on your part.

    Thats what I thought when I spent $250 for new "cupped" props.

    85hp charger speed/prop/rpm concerns

    The pics of the props show both are cupped. I had twin 88/85 Forces Replaced with new because I thought they needed to be cupped. Both new props were exactly the same as the ones I already had. The cups built in.

    Is this Force 40 Cracked Upper adapter Plate repairable?

    I doubt it's fixable unless you can find someone who's really talented welding aluminum. Google; OUTBOARD SALVAGE YARDS, There's a lot of old motor salvage places in the mid west.

    1997 force 40hp "tracker" -possible trim unit failure?

    This is the Mercury unit designed for smaller HP. The leak is a internal seal. Open the following link and find your unit. Then look at the parts. https://www.boats.net/catalog/force/rigging-parts-accessories/trim-tilt-lift-systems-and-components. Lots of T@T to go through. There's a rround...

    1988 Gamefisher Model 255.581750 Spark issue

    The points can "arc" and form a barrier that won't let spark through.

    85 force lower unit drain plug

    Idle: 800 in gear, 1050-1100 . Do the Starting Fluid test. Start the motor, spray SF around the intake side of the motor, under the packs/coils and the base of the carbs. If the spray makes a difference in the way it runs?? then it's sucking air somewhere.

    1988 Gamefisher Model 255.581750 Spark issue

    Usually if the coil tests good it's is. The points and sandpaper: sandpaper usually works but sometimes the points need to be filed clean. Check the continuity. The condensers might need changing.

    85hp charger speed/prop/rpm concerns

    All the numbers you posted tells me that you might have too much motor for the size boat you have??? Loading the boat with another person and the equipment needed might slow it down a little? Finding a 23p prop might be tough??

    1990 Dual Force 120s one side showing 16.7v at speed with dual batteries

    Using Deep Cycle and regular batteries together might be part of the problem. The charging system on a Force isn't really meant to charge Deep Cycle batteries. It can do damage to the charging system.

    Force 50 ID please

    The name Force was used from 1984 to 1999 Pics: you'll need 5 posts before you can use the "add pics function" on here. Look up photo addition sites like Photo shop or something along those lines.
