    puddle drain WOW!

    Re: puddle drain WOW! On the later Force models, the check valves are actually built on the elbow hose connectors. Look at this diagram and note the directional arrows indicated where flow is permitted and not permitted.

    Interesting lower unit fact

    Re: Interesting lower unit fact I checked on my '89-125 HP and the stamp is 4A, I understand the 4 is 1.73:1 gear ratio. I wonder what the "A" stands for. I've attached a gear ratio table for all 84-99 Force engines showing the 125's having two versions for gear ratio, i.e. 1.73 and 1.93. I...

    Motor draining battery

    Re: Motor draining battery The mention about blown fuse preventing the motor from running or anything from running is very subjective. Technically, the charging system is protected by a ckt bkr and the same holds true for the T&T protection. The starter motor doesn't have any protection except...

    testing my dva meter

    Re: testing my dva meter Since you are doing voltage testing there is no need to isolate the circuit unless the readings are out of specs. Then isolate both legs or sides of the ckt being tested and re-test. If reading is still unsatisfactory, then the component is most likely bad. You can...

    1990 Force 120, no spark (after just having been running)

    Re: 1990 Force 120, no spark (after just having been running) In the pics with the red arrow I assume is a metal conductor connecting the negative terminal to ground. Of course, there is only one way to find out by conducting a continuity test.

    1990 Force 120, no spark (after just having been running)

    Re: 1990 Force 120, no spark (after just having been running) As Jerry mentioned, there seems to be a missing wire but looking further it seems the negative output terminal of the rectifier is hard wired with one of the mounting bolts which is also acceptable as long as it is properly grounded...

    88 force 15 hp 2 stroke starting issue

    Re: 88 force 15 hp 2 stroke starting issue From the first picture, there is throttle linkage (with red arrow) that you can adjust to set the initial position of the throttle. The only problem I see in adjust this it does not advance the timing with the throttle position. On the second picture...

    Water Tube replacement

    Re: Water Tube replacement From this diagram item 5 is the waterline inlet or water tube. Unfortunately, it is already obsolete so your best bet is to fabricate one. The pic maybe too small but you can always zoom it and print it for readibility.

    92 force 40 hp wiring help please

    Re: 92 force 40 hp wiring help please Here's a wiring diagram. It might not look very clear but if you zoom and print it should be usable. As you will see the rectifier connects also to the red and gray wires.

    Force 125 (1987/88) Prop Question

    Re: Force 125 (1987/88) Prop Question It sounds like you are missing the spacer behind the prop, if the locknut, space and cone spacer are already as tight and pushed against the splined land of the shaft. Here's a drawing of the LU

    1986 Force 50hp ignition reconnect

    Re: 1986 Force 50hp ignition reconnect Nordin is correct if you do not use the 2nd M terminal I is the ignition and the solid blue wire should then connect to the I terminal. Here's a pic from the manual.

    static timing

    Re: static timing Didn't mean to confuse you but here's a copy of the tune up specs. In fact, this spec even mentions 34 BTDC for static timing with 32 BTDC for dynamic (for 125HP engines). Remember these timing data are "MAXIMUM" which means you can go below them a degree or two. I have mine...

    Help!

    Re: Help! Technically, if the trim cylinder works it means the tubing for the tilt cylinder was not connected in the proper port because both the trim and tilt upward tubings (bottom of each cylinder) share the same side of the valve body albeit on two separate ports. On the regular two wire...

    Re: Need wiring help for 3 wire tilt and trim for 1985 85hp Force Actually in a 3-wire motor, the black wire is the common of negative wire while the blue and green are the up and down wires respectively. With the black wire directly connected to ground, a momentary normally open three pole...
