Sony PlayStation Portable PS2 (NGP) Gameplay Trailer [HD] - Pixel Enemy Your first look a pure gameplay from a variety of games including Gravity ...

Some of you may remember my asking about my purchase of a 1989 Maxum 19.7 foot cuddy with a Force 125 and a 2002 Venture Trailer for $2800.00 last year? I have heard alot of bad things about any Force outboards and just have to say this..... Mine is still running like new at 20 years old now...

I am an aircraft mechanic and winterized it properly and changed the spark plugs, lower unit oil, all fuel lines, battery and impeller over the winter also. Just ran my boat last Sat and it still runs like new. I also spent the past month wet sanding the oxidation off and polishing the out side of it also. Now it looks great and runs awesome. I actually have the cash to buy a new boat but decided to wait a few more years since my '89 is still giong so strong.

I just want to know where all the hate toward Force outboards comes from? I am a mechanic and take care of my things better than average. I have had no problems except for mine being hard to start, that is all. My Force is so hard to start though that I always take my portable battery jumper and an extra battery on all outings. I have trouble shot this hard starting to the neutural safety switch and will replace that shortly.

Thank You

Scott

Loved all those answers- Your neutral start switch only effects the starter, not the ignition. here is where the "start" problem is -I've started:these engine by the hundreds. Remember "pilot error?" well that chrysler must have it's throttle open before it will start. Are you aware of the "cold start" throttle setting? (also called neutral start). It is the silver or black button in the middle of the throttle arm axle. Push it in (or pull out ) and run the throttle up to the stop. Now go look into the carbs and see if they are opening just a little.

this said, get the engine spinning BEFORE you hit the choke button(push in the key switch) The choke should close completely. If not, you can adjust it to close. As soon as it fires, let up on the choke. Keep the engine running by semaphoring the choke. Soon it will be up to temp and you will need to back down the throttle.

This works every time or you have some malfunction.

Self-activating automatic brakes
Designed to provide excellent load lifting facility
Includes permanent lubricated bearings

The size of the refugee flotill was staggering. Trailered boats were lined up 50 to 100 deep at Key West, waiting their turn to be launched. this went on for 36 to 48 hours; local residence could hear the activity around the clock. hundreds of trailers were scattered throughout the key west. 1000 craft were observed southbound on the afternoon of the 24th. For the most part, these were cubans who owned the boats. typically 26 to 40 footer relatively well equiped for local pleasure boating. Reportedly the tanks in numerous craft had inadequate fuel capacity and the vessels were carrying additional fuel in portable containers, this the first wave resulted in the transit of 1000 to 1300 boats to Mariel in relatively short time

El tamaño de la flota de los refugiados era asombrosa. Los barcos remolcados estaban alineados de 50 a 100 de profundidad en Key West, esperando su turno para ser lanzados. Asì continuo de 36 a 48 horas; los residentes locales podían oír la actividad durante todo el día. Cientos de remolques fueron esparcidos por todo el Key West. Se observaban 1000 barcos dirigiendose hacia el sur en la tarde del 24 . En su mayor parte, estos barcos eran propiedad de los cubanos, tipicamente de 26 a 40 pies y relativamente bien equipados para la navegación de recreo local. Según se informa en los tanques de numerosas embarcaciones había insuficiente capacidad para el combustible y los buques transportaban el combustible adicional en contenedores portátiles. Esta primera ola resultò en un tránsito de 1000 a 1300 embarcaciones a Mariel en un tiempo relativamente corto

El tamaño de la flotilla de refugiados era asombroso. Lanchas remolcadas estaban en fila hasta 50-100 de hondo en Key West, esperando su turno para ser lanzadas. Esto sucedió por 36-48 horas; residentes locales podían escuchar la actividad las veinticuatro horas. Cientos de remolques estaban desparramados por todo Key West. Mil embarcaciones se pudieron observar navegando hacia el sur por la tarde del 24. En mayor parte, éstos eran cubanos quienes eran dueños de las lanchas; típicamente de 26-40 pies de largo, bien equipadas para paseo de placer en lancha. Según reportan, los tanques de numerosas lanchas tenían una capacidad inadecuada de combustible, y los barcos cargaban con combustible adicional en contenedores potátiles. Ésta primera ola resultó en el tránsito de 1000 a 1300 lanchas a Mariel en relativamente poco tiempo.
