    89 Force 50 hp lubing the throttle handle mechanism

    WD is probably the least damaging of any of the lubes, PB Blaster and the more corrosive lubes can damage the plastic and rubber parts and pieces. Some, includinmg the carb soaks will cause swelling in the rubber and actually shut off the fuel in the needle seat(ask how I know :) )

    Force 85 not firing on cylinder 3

    http://standardmagneto.com/marine.html is an economical place to get replacement packs. Trying to cross wires will probably short out the good pack and cause problems. The used 2 packs and they don't work when trying to shortcut anything. Two systems that don't work together when crossing wires.

    Force 85 not firing on cylinder 3

    Try swapping the packs around and see if the spark follows the change??? The trigger wires are very thin and the ends break under the shrink wrap at the connector. I replace all the connectors as sop.

    87 Force 85hp Flywheel removal

    The 1/4X20 will probably strip out on the first attempt. If you want to continue this way, I'd drill and tap a 5/16"hole. Myself, I use a BIG 3 jaw puller and a 3 pound hammer. Harbor Freight puller kit with 3 pullers. The big'n hook it up, undo the nut and reinstall it but only 2-3 turns so the...

    1970 Chrysler 70hp outboard motor

    Get the last spark plug out and if it's still hard to turn over, drop the lower unit, then if it's still hard then bore scope the cylinders. Rusty cylinders??? Check the gear oil. Make sure that you remove the drain plug and not the screw on the side of the gearbox. Pulling that screw will...

    File the points or replace, that old they can be bad and no amount of cleaning/sanding will help. Condenser could be bad?? Does that model have a kill button? test it?

    1989 Force 85 HP Starter Disengages

    The bendix needs to be lifted up to engage the worm gear and then using a crescent wrench and a 5/8 or 11/16 wrench to unscrew the top nut. I believe the top nut is a locking type nut?? Make sure the battery cables aren't crossed, that can make the starter go backwards(ask me how I know). Second...

    1989 Force 85 HP Starter Disengages

    No cleaning the bendix. Any cleaners or sprays that get up inside them make them slip. The only thing you can do is: q-tip up in the worm gear, then clean the armature shaft and reapply a small amount of grease to the worm gear. Too much will ruin the bendix. The bendix has a rubber hub like the...

    Sea King 9.2hp will not Spark

    Points file, emery board, fingernail file and even a zipper work well. The smaller the zipper the better(take the pants off the kid first, works better)

    Sea King 9.2hp will not Spark

    Try using a file on the points, sandpaper might not be enough?? Try swapping the condensers around and see if the spark changes or follows the move? Franz Marine might have some parts for something that old.

    carb adj 1997 50 hp

    Like Jiggz says about 1 1/8 to 1 1/2?? If your having trouble test for air leaks on the intake side, Starting fluid test: start motor and then spray SF around the intake side, if it makes a difference in the way it runs then it's sucking air. Fix the gasket. This needs to be done in the water...

    1985 85 hp loss of power, no misfire

    Test the over heat system. Might be getting hot?? Key on, ground the orange lead at the buss bar. That should make the alarm sound off. The alarm is small and can be hardly heard when the motor runs. I have a heat gun to test the temps. $16 Amazon(years ago)
