    1989 Force missing at WOT

    The more that I do makes me feel like a dog chasing it's tail. I had stopped getting spark on #5, so I ohm checked the stator and didn't have any resistance on 5 and 6 (the Force stator has 6 wires but only 5 cylinders. #6 just goes to a blank connection). Bought a new-old stock OEM stator off...

    1989 Force missing at WOT

    The saga continues. I ordered kits to rebuild the fuel pumps and found that one of the pumps diaphragms had a tear in it. Previously, I had pulled the carbs and pulled them apart and ran carb cleaner through everything. Took the boat out this afternoon and the original problem seems to be fixed...

    1989 Force missing at WOT

    Thanks Jerry. I found a wire for #5 from the stator that appeared to be broken so I replaced the terminal. Took it out again today to see if that was the issue, but the problem persists. While running it WOT, I watched the engine (as much as I could while still steering the boat) and saw that...

    1989 Force missing at WOT

    Jerry - on the wiring diagram for outboardingitiondotcom, it shows the diagram for using the oem trigger and the cdi stator. It shows that their stator only has 4 wires coming from it and requires a jumper wire from #2 to #5. I must have the oem stator as it has 6 wires coming from it. This is...

    1989 Force missing at WOT

    This is a long post, so bare with me. I have a 1989 Cajun Bass boat that I bought a few months ago with a 1989 Force 150 in the back. When I first bought it, it would run about 48-50mph with just me in the boat. Ran great. It started missing at about 1500 rpms so I checked the timing to see...

    Tachometer question

    Thanks for the response. When I checked for voltage at the ground post (with the ground wire connected), there was about 9.5 volts. Every time that I checked for continuity for the ground post to a good ground, the screen on my meter would go blank. If I disconnected the ground wire from the...

    Tachometer question

    I recently bought a Cajun Bass Boat that the tach wasn't working. I got under the dash today to see if the wires are connected and to the right posts. Everything looked good so I started checking for continuity from the tach to the engine. Everything appeared to be ok until I checked the...

    Thanks for the tip on using the Power Tuner/Engine Tuner. I'll give that a try. Merry Christmas

    1989 Force 150 Compression Question

    What a difference a gauge makes. All plugs removed. I went to Oreilly's and got their gauge to see what it would show. The low is about 130psi and the high is about 145. The other 3 are about 140.. #5 is the low and will keep an eye on it to see of it changes after running it some. I have 2...

    1989 Force 150 Compression Question

    I'm the new owner of a Bass Boat with a force 150 outboard on it. The engine is easy to start, runs great and will push the boat about 46mph. I did a compression check to see if all 5 cylinders were equal and they are all within about 5psi of each other. Here is my question: The compression on...
