    Hi All Just a tid bit of information for you if required. I was dropping the kids to soccer training the other day and noticed an older boat with a Force outboard. Having a 1988/125 myself I took a closer look. It was the same vintage ( give or take) 85 Force- no power tilt trim attached...

    Power tilt trim washer

    Hi all. A while ago I took the pump off my ptt and the washer/spacer on top of the motor shaft fell out. Its the one that recesses into the small nipple on top of the pump unit. I manufactured a new one from a bread board which has now failed. I have an engineering firm that will make one from...

    Towershaft Stop

    Hi All I had posted within another post, so I though I'd start a new topic in case there is some more ideas/feedback. My Idle adjustment on the tower shaft ( 1988/125hp/Prestolite Ignition) does not seem to stay where I want it. The adjustmen does not seem to 'lock' and as a result, when...

    PTT Motor Shims

    Hi all Another follow up to some of my previous posts. Anyone looking for the shim that sits above the 'drive shaft' of the PTT motor, I used an old bread board. Cut it down, used an angle grinder to shape it, and it works a charm. This ultra hard plastic is uv resistant, heat resistant and...

    Hi All I am trying to restart a 50cc quad bike for my 10 year old. It has been dormant for 4 years. The carbs are full of 2 stroke oil. I used some 'start ya bastard', and she fires up real well. I took the carb off, checked the float, but it is full of old oil. Main question- should I soak...

    Power Tilt/Trim question

    Hi all- again;-) My PTT pump is pumping ( whirring noise when switch toggled), but it does not seem to be pumping the hydraulic. I took the top of the unit off, and the bottom of the shaft doesn't seem to have a keyway or any way to slot into the lower unit. When we are bleeding the unit, it...

    Hi all So, after checking out my relays/fuses etc, I called (reluctantly) a mobile mechanic/tech, as I am not so great with things electrical. He spent maybe, say, 10 minutes here, and found I didn't tighten the battery terminals enough. $150.00 later for 10 minutes.....DOH DOH DOH DOH...
