Hi All
This is my first thread so sorry if it's old ground.
I got my first sail boat last August and have been finding my feet since.
The boat had an old Force 3hp engine with it for the tender which I just threw in the shed.
I've just got round to looking at it and i'm wondering if it's worth the time keeping.
It hasn't been run for 3 months and it started 2nd pull. It purrs like a kitten and doesn't cough at all when running.
It's a 2 stroke 1 cylinder engine.
I ran it in a barrel and it's not pushing water through the exhaust.
I can't see intakes or outlets anywhere and i can't see air filters,intakes,out takes either.
Has any one any experience with these (dated) engines.
Is it air or water cooled and can you still get parts.
I can't find any info on the net anywhere.
