    Force 125 tilt/trim pump bypass valve

    Re: Force 125 tilt/trim pump bypass valve Here is the same assemebly from an earlier style. The aluminum piece on the left is the equivalent of the plug with the allen wrench fitting on your motor. There is a small hexagonal shaped valve with a small "O" ring on the nipple and a spring that...

    water droplet on spark plug.

    Re: water droplet on spark plug. That's really odd that the water is leaking around the head bolts with a new head gasket. Are you torquing the head bolts in the correct sequence starting with the bolts in the middle of the head and working your way towards the ends of the head?

    1996 Force 120 HP Hard to start after running.

    Re: 1996 Force 120 HP Hard to start after running. Usually, if the primer bulb doesn't get good and firm, it's because of a leak. A common cause is the needle valve in the carburetor is not sealing and not shutting off the flow of fuel. If you keep squeezing enough times, fuel will start to...

    Carburator adjustment

    Re: Carburator adjustment The deflector is there for a reason. Is this what you're missing? The piece that the red arrow is pointing at?

    #3 cylinder, good spark - no fire

    Re: #3 cylinder, good spark - no fire Looks like either #3 or #4 by-pass cover is leaking. There is a gasket under each of the by-pass covers. Maybe something as simple as tightening up the four bolts that holds the cover in place. Red arrows point to the four bolts on each cover. There are...

    1998 Force 75 loss of power

    Re: 1998 Force 75 loss of power Make sure you are getting a good spark on all 3 cylinders. You can use an inline spark checker that has an adjustable gap, or just take a plug out and leave the wire attached to it and ground the plug to the engine block, crank the engine over and see what you...

    #3 cylinder, good spark - no fire

    Re: #3 cylinder, good spark - no fire A broken reed would not allow water from the cooling system to enter the cylinder. The older post indicated milky residue which is usually water or moisture mixed with oil. I suspect that there must have been some type of atmospheric conditions, either...

    Hummingbird tranducer casuing spray

    Re: Hummingbird tranducer casuing spray I had the exact same issue when I mounted my Humming bird transducer. I just took a small piece of aluminum plate and cut/bent/ground it to shape to keep the water out of the gap between the transducer and the plastic mount. Used the same holes that...

    Recirculating system on 100HP Chrysler and puddle drain

    Re: Recirculating system on 100HP Chrysler and puddle drain Esimmons92, just for clarification.....Your problem is that the idle speed is too high? Looks like you've tried most of the adjustments. There is one more. The adjustable shaft that goes between the tower shaft and the throttle...

    flush engine

    Re: flush engine If it isn't broke, don't fix it. If you're in fresh water, it generally isn't an issue. I assume you are referring to the square head pipe plug that screws into the adapter plate on the port side? Yes this is the water passage that comes from the water pump tube that goes...

    Chrysler 100HP tilt ram repair

    Re: Chrysler 100HP tilt ram repair Shouldn't be a problem. Typical automotive starter draws in the neighborhood of about 200 - 250 AMPs. You could use that as a guide in determining what gauge wire you need for the number of feet. Here's a chart that may give you a general idea. Sorry...

    puddle drain WOW!

    Re: puddle drain WOW! Good call Frank. I'd forgotten about this style of puddle drain. One other thing to check on this type of fuel re-circulation system is the small holes that go the the By-Pass passage on the engine block. They're very small and clog easily. They're highlighted in red...

    Re: puddle drain WOW! Here is a picture of Micklovin's motor with red arrows pointing to the puddle drain covers. Yours are located in the same spot on your motor. 4 bolts hold each cover on.

    Recirculating system on 100HP Chrysler and puddle drain

    Re: Recirculating system on 100HP Chrysler and puddle drain These are the covers for the fuel recirculation or puddle drains (red arrows). There are gaskets under the covers which may be damaged when you remove them. Notice there is a small hose that goes from the bottom of the puddle drain...

    Overcharging 18 volts

    Re: Overcharging 18 volts The stator and trigger are two different units. This is the stator. The White/Green and Green/White wires generate the ignition coil voltage. The two yellow wires generate the battery charging voltage. Disconnect the Green/White and White/Green wires that come...

    1985 Force 50 no spark and parts question.

    Re: 1985 Force 50 no spark and parts question. According to my manual, the points on the 50HP motor should be set to .015. Also, I believe that the blue wire on the right condenser should connect to the terminal on the points just like the one on the left. See Red arrow. I don't think that...

    Force 120 with low compression seeking advice

    Re: Force 120 with low compression seeking advice That lifting tool is made for the later style 1996 - 1999 flywheels that have an internally threaded lip that sticks up around the center hole. I ran into the same problem as you did, so I just took some rope and a cherry picker on my 1988...

    1998 40hp force 60lbs compression on 1 cylinder

    Re: 1998 40hp force 60lbs compression on 1 cylinder Bolts should be torqued to 225 inch pounds. Below is a picture of the tightening sequence. Run the motor until it warms up, then check and re-torque if necessary after it cools down a bit.
