    Force 120

    I have one on my 1996 Maxum. Had it 30 years and only thing I've done is rebuild the fuel pump (other than regular maintenance). Compression is still good.

    Question about Chrysler marine 318 distributor rotor

    They are designed not to fit on a car on purpose. Marine design has to deal with factors cars don't. Material Quality: Marine components use solid brass, copper, or bronze contacts to resist heavy moisture and salt corrosion, whereas standard car parts often use cheaper aluminum or thin steel...

    1986 125 force outboard

    Sounds like maybe a fuel issue. Mechanical pump is driven by crankcase pressure. Do a compression check, will take 15 minutes. It's easy and will give you important info. All should be over 120 psi and close to each other. If compression is within range I would rebuild the fuel pump, at least...

    1996 Force 120HP

    Well I reconnected the fuel line to the boat tank and took it for a spin. Two times around the lake at full throttle. So must have been the fuel pump...

    1996 Force 120HP

    Well 3 loops around the lake at full throttle no stalls. I disconnected the fuel line at the nipple on the side of the boat going to the fuel tank and dropped that line into a jerry can. Next I'll reconnect to the nipple and do another test run. If it stalls out the problem is somewhere upstream...

    If cylinder compression is good then vacuum should be good unless there's another issue down the line. Would you know what cylinder compression should be at?

    OK thanks, will test run and post how that went.

    1996 Force 120HP

    Boat runs well at lower speeds but will stall out at full throttle. If bulb on fuel line is pumped boat will keep running. I'm thinking fuel pump. Bought a rebuild kit. Pulled the pump off and it looks very clean, no visible holes in diaphragms and they are flexible and not hardened. Held...
