she's ALIVE!!
well after 5 months of hell and $1200+ later...my 1990 120hp force runs again! ;D ...from 3 different mechanics that couldnt fix it or knew what was wrong and charged me anyway, to buying new and used parts from ebay, to me learning from a manual and getting help from here,THT, iboats and the marine doctor...she runs again!!:)
some things i have changed or done... rebuilt carbs,rebuilt fuel pump, new rectifier,new trigger,new stator, used ignition coils, new flywheel key(sheared it cuz i didnt torque flywheel)...my tach still dont work though :-/
anyway..i just got home from going drop it in water, left it on trailer though ....runs like a champ..starts right up and sounds great..adjusted carbs to spec... i let it run for atleast 25mins or so....i was gonna sell it but after hearing it run i think i'm just gonna keep it fish it and double up on my truck payments, pay it off and then buy a new boat.
gonna do some decarbing and other small things this week and hopefully by the weekend i'll have some blood and guts on deck!!
