what year is ur force kajun? i got a few parts still lyin around. including a good set of coils, for my old 86 125. the biggest prob i had with mine was a design flaw. see, the model i had was designed to run on 2 cylinders at low rpm to keep from over heating. where i launch most of the time, it is about a quarter mile before you leave the no wake zone. plus i troll alot. plus throttling down for rough seas. my plugs pretty much stayed fouled on the two 'dead' cylinders.

BS, BS (get it?) :) I can't find one for that. I think I'm going to go with a Teleflex International Red (or something like that). It's what the rest of my guages are and I think I'd like them to match. About 65 bucks.

racerx.. i have a 1990 120 made by us marine.. with the blue prestolite ignition components......i have rebuilt fuel pump completely...rebuilt and cleaned carbs, new water pump and housing, new fuel lines..i have *bought a new trigger,rectifier...some used power packs and coils... and today installed 2 brand new power packs... and started trying to start her.. and my STARTER burns up...so i just brought my starter to a local rebuild place. to be rebuilt...plus i got a used stator on the way from ebay...so i can swap out just to eliminate that part lol i'm at $1000 in parts into this damn thing since it broke....but i figure i'm way to far into it to back out now lol

Any of you guys that have Force's need a tach? I'll be replacing my soon and have no need for it...You can have it, just pay shipping which should be cheap. It's for the Force motors with 20 pole alternators. Pre 91 I think.

heck i'll take it....i was having problems with my tach prior to my motor crappin out..it worked sometime..then somtime it wouldnt..maybe it had something to do with all the eletrical issues i'm having lol

I need to get my new one then I'll pull the old one out. I'll send you a PM when I get to it, probably be about 2 weeks.
