I 'm glade that there people like you that care to keep them going...I went to my first Chrysler school in 1972 at the Benicia Div..and the only one that certified on the Force engine in (cal) 1996) before it all went down hill. Not that i know it all, there an't day go by that you dont learn something new every time you tuch a engine....Its the enjoyment you feel when the come too life..the smell of the exhaust..soforth.....( I started working on them back in 1955..)
Boy you have been at it a long time,hell i was born in 1978, but i was one of the youngest at getting my ASE L1 master automobile technician at the age of 20 and no i did not go to school for it. and yes you do learn something new every time, and yes that is one of my favorite thing's is to get something back up and running again when someone gave up on it.
I dont know if i told you this before..I bought one of these for my Dad when i was working part time at a Vaca Boats when i was stationed at Travis AFB...it was Awsome little engine..at 58 hrs of trolling it drop the bottom plug..I alway told my dad to clean it and then give it a float test..if it floated then put it back in, needless it was always was a new plug..then it go another 50/58 hrs of trolling...Then when dad died it was giving to my sistors Old man and it this day it stored .
the funny thing about it is at the time Chrysler Outboard was the only part of the company that was making money for the company and thats why they sold it to US Marine to save the cars..this was told to me by Mr Green that ran chrysler OB at the Benicia,Ca, Div....JUst keep me in the loop on the little green Merc..thanks..
I recently picked up a 1974 Chrysler. I found the fuel pump housing and diaphragm need replacing. Are these parts available? I would appreciate any advice.
at least Merc was trying for awhile to inprove the forces till the smog thing came into play..Is the 50 Merc have a Mag/Mag driver or bat cd? yes i'm looking for a 3 hp single cyl comet (green) like a Mrk 5/7...
I tell every one that i was the first Marine Engeer on NoahsBarge and been shoveling it ever since..( was a USAF marine engeer for 8 years of the 22 years in the AF.) started racing Mark 55's in 1956 ...and one thing lead to another..even meet a man that was totally blind and worked on OB...and was a fantastic mack..just got to be well organized...
Hi ben, I have a 1974 chrysler built seaking and it bogs on acceleration, I cleaned the carb and set the linkage per your video, it has good spark and idles well but have to accelerate slowly or it bogs down. Any ideas? Thanks Dave
Yes the 50 is a 1968 short shaft 4 cyl i and was my dad's motor,and i have spent 24 year's trying to get it to run at a good idle for more then 3 or 4 min. IS the at 3hp you are looking for a green top Comet? Yes i know about all the piston problem's with the big force motor's,and i think it is a shame but a Force motor is not a Chrysler after 1985 is when the quality of components went down hill.
Yea i know all about that, my grandpa worked for Chrysler corp 1945-1986 (on the auto side) and i grue up running Chrysler outboard's. Grandpa had a 1968 9.9 dad had a 1973 6hp Sea King and i had a 1970 9.6hp Sea King. And that is why dad got the 50hp mercury he was pissed off of me running circles around him at the age of 9.
If i was closer I'd talk you out of the 50 if its a 4 cyl..i am looking for a 3 hp thats just a one cyl of the mark 7..I got a 125 hp force coming friday..most the time i just condem them they have one or more pistons bad...and they dont want to spend big dollars to repair them..with new pistons getting harder and harder to find.(Wisco)..
A firm in Australia will make you new pistons & rings from a in house " blank " or you measurements at a good price. Their name is JP Engineering. Goodluck. They are cast - then machined. Trev New Zealand. Auz Auz Auz Cobber !
Well let's agree to disagree about the Force motor's. but on another note i think my 50 is mag ign. And i might have a line on a very nice single cyl green top merc for you.
now the stores is out, thats why there no merc in your DVD..they are a special bread of cat....I had a heck of a time splining up a shiftshaft on a 1996 40 hp today..And if there was a lake close by it wouldn't seen the liight of day again..
whitch size is the 7.5 hp carburator? maybe i can set on an other one in the fitting size. tho original one is not easy to find. thanks a lot; greets from germany!

Great outboard! I have a 1976 Chrysler 6hp. Pushes my 1976 12' Mirro Craft around the lake.

I have a vintage 6 hp Chrysler just like the one in this video with the exception of a broken handle. Is there a way to find out what it's worth?
