    Force 1989 85HP Synchronization

    I haven't lost my faith in this motor, I think all this issues are age related, old seals/gaskets, carb tunning and things that with good diagnosis shouldn't be expensive or hard to fix, the key thing is the diagnosis and for that my friend you have been of much help, I would be completely lost...

    Force 1989 85HP Synchronization

    Thanks, I'll leave it at 1 turn as your suggestion not very smooth but don't want to damage anything,. Yes the rod moves the butterflies of the 3 carbs at the same time, I have already gone through that link and synk steps before, I will double check to see anything changed after all I have...

    Force 1989 85HP Synchronization

    I tightened the screws and seemed to work, spraying starter fluid dont make any change now, it surprised me that some screws I could turn about half a turn with ease, I didn't find torque specs anywhere so I just tightened firmly. So even with that it still bogs, I adjusted the idle needle from...

    Force 1989 85HP Synchronization

    Hi Jerry, Finally I got the chance to make the test and as you figured out when I spray starter fluid behind the carbs, the motor starts to bog, over all I think the motor is running stable just when I sprayed the starter fluid it bogs, I will order that seal and see when I can change it by now...

    Force 1989 85HP Synchronization

    Not yet, I have been distracted in the lower unit issue of the other thread, I will be testing this weekend probably, I ordered as well the carb intake gasket, as I mentioned I have changed top and middle carbs recently and never changed or inspected the gaskets, so I think they may have some...

    1989 force outboard lower unit leak

    Well so I applied Flex glue in the bellow and seems to be working, it says it works with rubber and in water, so I hope it doesn't create any problem later, it is flexible so it allows the rod movement to engage the gears. I Pressure tested to 10 PSI and it holds them all night long. One thing I...

    1989 force outboard lower unit leak

    Hello, So I have a leak on the lower unit, I removed lower unit and inspected it, I found the seal from the gear shifter is broken in two parts, I don't see any evidence of oil in the prop shaft or the gear shaft so I belive all the issues are around this shift shaft. Issue now I can't find the...

    Force 1989 85HP Synchronization

    Now that you mention that, couple months ago I had to replace the Mid Carburetor, it was leaking fuel, anyways I didn't take much of attention or replaced the carburetor gasket, I could even have not put it there :oops: I will check on that, make some tests in the week end. Thank you

    First time boat and force owner screwed

    what's the condition of the boat? transom is ok? I got a 1989 Bayliner Carpri with a 85HP force, issues on the motor and a bad transom. It has always been a concern how far to go with the repairs. I decided back then that if I could get the motor to run decently then I would fix the transom, I...

    I missed the part where you mentioned Frank passed away, didn't know him but I have seen a lot messages from him in the iboats forum helping amateur mechanics/boaters as me. For sure he's missed by many people.

    Force 1989 85HP Synchronization

    Thank you Jerry, I think I have done the set up as Frank describes so I belive Sync is ok now. I have set the Idle speed to 950 in bucket, but it doesn't seem very stable, it fluctuates from 800-950 RPM's, sounds a little bit rough, it doesn't stall and goes into gear without issue but doesn't...
