    Force 5hp (1990) no telltale?

    On the mid section is a lump with 2(?) holes that the water should be coming out. Very TINY!!! wasps get into the holes and make nests. Small piece of wire up inside the hole and see if the nests/babies comes out. Reverse: it has it, just turn it around and then push the gear lever down.

    Merc 40 Force - Takes forever to start

    Like Racerone suggested, check/rebuild or just clean it out. Makes a huge difference in the way it works and adds years to it's life. The brushes sluff off and they leave carbon bits in the bottom and that can short out the works.

    Adjust all 3 carbs at once or seperate ?

    You can set it anyway you like. Then do the starting fluid test: spray around the intake side and if the spray makes any difference?? Fix it as an air leak can kill your motor. THEN!! it needs to be fine tuned in the water and in gear.

    Force Vs Johnson

    The 85/90 Force were said to have the best power to weight rating for that motor. The rest is my opinion. The T@T on the Force is the weak point. But can easily be fixed with a few wrenches. They BOTH are hard on fuel. The Johnson electronics seem to last longer. Lower unit, both are about the...

    IT's possible the spring inside the starter is broken or has come unwound?? Find a video and see if you can tighten the spring.

    1975 chrysler 4.9 wont start

    Clean the carb? Unscrew the tiny screw on the top of the gas cap? Turn the gas on? When it's on remove the hose and see if it flows to the carb. Try removing the float bowl on the carb. Spray WD-40 or any penetrating oil on the base making sure the spray gets on the top of the bowl and the...

    Force 125 88’ won’t run

    The motor can start even if the timing is off as much as 15-20d. That screw, not bad enough to make it not start. Check for TDC. Told you how on the other post.

    Merc 40 Force - Takes forever to start

    Sounds like the primer is bad?? Cover off, key on, have someone push in the key as you touch the primer, you should feel a click. No click??? Test light, same procedure but use the test light on the wire. This should light the light. No light? Then the key switch might be faulty. Key switch: WD...

    1990 spectrum blue fin 50hp force control cables

    They might work? But if they are used, I wouldn't put them on my boat. Ebay this "Morse 33 shift cable 12ft." Look through the cables they have. If the add says Morse or 33 they should be ok. Some are from China and can take up to 2 months to get.

    Force 125 88’ won’t run

    If it lights up on each plug?? then you have spark. That broken gasket: I wouldn't worry about it right now, it's probably not all the way through and just the corner. The part: called a Dog Bone. It's part of the fuel recirculation system. Take it apart, it has reed valves and screens to catch...
