    What are ballpark parts values for 1990 Force 120 hp L-drive

    We will be parting out a 1990 120HP Force L-drive and I can see from ebay, there are some decent value components. Is it best to strip down to short block, or leave the exhaust manifold, electronics, carbs still on it. If I am correct, the crank spline is different than a outboard force, but...

    1987 140 Looper spit back/mis-fire at idle. Any guesses as to why? Anything typical to these motors?

    Waking up a 140 1987 looper from a 6 year slumber. Previous owner is a friend and a mechanic . Started right up, but seemed to idle too high. Had to lower idle timing to go lower - which is odd given the motor was setup properly when moth balled. As a precaution rebuilt carbs (they were...

    Late 70's 7.5HP sears gamefisher how to fill lower unit? Vent is BELOW fill!!

    Air cooled sears outboard with forward neutral gearcase. The oil fill is ABOVE vent screw, which is on the opposite side - yes, vent is below fill. Both are clearly marked - VENT and FILL! I thought I heard that you lay the engine on its side and fill it that way. I suppose it could also...

    Best Elixir for freeing stuck piston ring -possibly rust

    Hi folk, I just reawakened a 1987 big bore 140 looper from a ~5 year layup that previously had ~120psi compression all holes. I just turned the motor over yesterday and compression test yielded bank 1 -118 over 100 -and bank 2 -100 over 120. I'm guessing maybe the rings are a tad stuck/rusted...

    1986 290 sp drive black oil and grit when drained, help needed.

    Hi, 1986 Volvo Aq 151 with 290 single prop drive. I drained the outdrive lube and it was black and smelly. Leakdown test was perfect(as expected). I know black usually means worn and gear issues so I sieved the drained oil through a coffee filter. Some grit was found and two small metal chips...

    Cross from a Volvo 3860232 U-joint

    Does anyone know of which spicer(or any brand) u-joint/cross the Volvo 3860232 external truarc ring u-joint crosses over to. Also, does the yoke have to be removed from the upper gear box to replace the cross. The fit is a little tight. Thanks!

    Correct U-joint for 86 290 Volvo drive?

    My AQ 151 290 U-joints have External circlips not internal c-clips as shown in Volvo Penta store. Where can I get these external circlip u-joints? The Volvo # and pic shows internal clips and yields the 18-2104 Sierra, which is different from my application. Thanks in advance for any help!

    Can 1986 290 PDS bearings be replaced without pulling engine?

    Hi Folks, I'm pretty sure I'm asking a dumb question here. Pulled my 86 290 drive. Drive bellows had plenty of salt water and brown gunk. The PDS drive shaft has some play/wobble(~5/64") as viewed from stern - is it shot? Does replacement of bearing require engine removal? If needed, I have...
