Force runs put has no power

[nomotorj]

I need some help. I have an 1989 Outboard(85) Force motor. The motor has very little hours on it (500hr). The engine starts right up. But the engine has never kicked into a cruisng speed. I stay at a constant troll. I took it apart last year and gave it a tune up. There are still no changes. Any ideas/ help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Have you checked the compresson and engine timing? How fast does the boat go? What is the speedo showing? We need more info.

Mine was simmilar to this. Started and ran, but at WOT there was very little power. Turned out one of the wires on the stator was shorted out. Replaced the stator and she roared back to life!

The manual shows how to do a resistance check on the stator output wires. I wiggled the wires and it cut in and out.
