    Can I use any 2 stroke oil?

    Two stroke oil is NOT two stroke oil..........Need to use TC-W3 rated 2-cycle oil in your 2-stroke outboard motor.....Weed eaters, chain saws, etc. use non TC-W3 rated oil, as they are air cooled and run at higher temps than your water cooled outboard.....(y)

    Bad trigger? Can’t adjust timing

    Think he is referring to the stator.....a magneto produces current for the spark, like a lawn mower engine. And I think he is saying he disconnected the stator charging wires going to the rectifier, for some reason.....

    1984 force 125 low compression question?

    That's good to hear......so I guess it was just a blown head gasket after all and the compression came up in that cylinder?

    1990 Force 120HP #2 Cyl zero compression and upon opening piston shows damage

    Looking at your pic with the motor in the bucket.....water needs to be well above the cavitation plate (4-6 inches) for the pump to work right. That could be the problem with that one. The other one, maybe the muffs not sealing good?
