    1995 Mercury Force 40hp 2 stroke Will not start

    Sucess it's running! It's leaving me scratching my head even more though. I'm glad its running, but I feel like this issue is going to pop up again. I attempted to pull the flywheel today. Took the top nut and washer off. Looked down the flywheel keyway and saw the key was there but know it...

    1995 Mercury Force 40hp 2 stroke Will not start

    Thats my plan tomorrow to pull the flywheel. I'll have all day to work on it. For the hell of it, I tried another set of new plugs today, Champion L76V's spec for this motor, with the same results.

    Haven't checked that. Flywheel doesn't seem to be loose, and since timing seemed to be within spec already, I didn't want to start tinkering with it.

    1995 Mercury Force 40hp 2 stroke Will not start

    Back at it again. Nothing. Vented it all day today. Cranked it over again with the plugs out and WOT, and no fuel line just before adding the drops of fuel. Closed everything up, cranked it and got nothing, not even a pop. Tried hitting it with a bit of starting fluid, still nothing.

    I don't have a test device, but being that these plugs are flat bottom (never seen ones like this before), I can say it the spark will leap a good size gap from the plug to the grounding post on the block.

    1995 Mercury Force 40hp 2 stroke Will not start

    Hi all, Completely new to this forum as a registered member. I was hoping I could throw my issue out there and have some eyes on it and get some opinions. I have a 1995 Mercury Force 40HP outboard new to me last year. Marketplace purchase, former owner couldn't get running. Turned out to be a...
