    Hooking up jump box to starter 1987 force 85 to diagnose

    I made my own using an L bracket. Get a BIG L bracket , drill out the top hole so a heavier bolt can be used. Then mount it using a 1/4-20 bolt. The 1/4-20 is a bit light but will work, or drill and tap to 5/16 .

    1994 Force 120 controls.

    Look on the motor for the brown white wire and that will tell what it's hooked to.

    Hooking up jump box to starter 1987 force 85 to diagnose

    I just bought a new jump box.$85 from Amazon It's 8x5x3 (aprox) with various attachments. It is amazing the power it has. Enough oomph to cold start a Ford diesel with dead batteries.

    Motor dies then won't start

    Over the years: people who buy the NEW Chinese starters end up having some kind of trouble with them. Some of the ones I've dealt with the magnets break loose or break themselves or the bendix drops out too soon. I've found that rebuilding the OEM starter is the way to go. I buy the "Mercury"...

    How to set the shift and throttle cables and mechanisms?

    The butterfly doesn't have to be level to achieve WOT. Disconnect the shift and throttle connectors at the motor. Then activate the shifter and end up in N Then adjust the cable ends so they slide over the ball

    1988 85 hp Force outboard

    Be VERRRRRY careful when removing the shift shaft cover as prying on the front can break/warp it. Using assembly grease will help hold the pieces of the shift mechanism while assembling.

    85hp force tilt unit

    Early 80's to the early 90's T@T will work. Some parts will need to be removed. Get parts diagrams from a 1988+- with T@T and a diagram without the T@T Just make sure that the wear plate is installed or the short ram will chew up the soft aluminum.

    1994 Force 120HP tilt and trim questions.

    Yes the motor is probably bad. I bought a used 225 Mercury and the T@T sounded HORRRRRIBLE. Turns out it had a hole in the side and salt water was getting into the motor. Surprised it worked at all.

    90 hp Ignition Question: Thunderbolt VS Prestolite

    I can see wanting to do the change but the cost would stop me as soon as I tried to get a new flywheel.$650 + I had the Prestolite system on 5 different forces and the only problems was a sheared flywheel key and a trigger wire that broke under the shrink wrap.

    Does this timing advance rod (1985 50HP) look factory? Should it be bent like this?

    Your pic, at top is a black plastic connector. That's where timing is adjusted.

    Motor dies then won't start

    Test the overheat alarm? Possible getting hot? After starting, isolate the primer from the carb, pinch off the hose from primer to carb bowl, too much fuel can flood out the carbs??

To test: Get the motor running, run it at wide open for 5 minutes. Then reach over and turn the key off. Don't throttle back...

    Is this article true? I have had pretty good luck with Force motors.

    Rubbish. I have owned 4 85s 2 125s and 1 120 The mechanical end was very dependable. The oil used as a mix for the fuel was the DEATH of many 2 stroke motors. The ash(?) was a huge problem causing the rings to carbon and seize. Then they got smart and introduced TCW-3 and those problems...

    1987 Force 125 shudder/bucking at fast idle/mid RPM

    Supposed to be no gap BUT!! .008- .010 is acceptable. Their function is to stop the air from back feeding through the front of the carb. A tiny bit of opening is ok. The reeds aren't the problem. Bucking, kicking and coughing is more than likely the results of the motor sucking air somewhere...
