I have a 2007 Honda BF25D and I’m a little confused on the tach setting I should use. It’s an inexpensive inductive tach that wraps on spark plug. Engine is a carb’d 4 stroke 3 cylinder. Is it 1 pulse per revolution?
The options the instructions are for 4 stoke 4 and 2 cylinder engines
Figured I’d come back and update. Main jet on bottom cylinder was totally clogged. Also the float bowl on the top cylinder was clogged where the starter enrichment feeds in.
Issues were totally solved and now the engine fires right up

Secondary 3.3K (within spec)

Thank you for the info! I have ordered a meter and I’m waiting for it should be here this week. Did some research and I think it was a good choice.
Since I have the manual I figured I’d get started going down the list…
Pulled the plugs today and tested compression.
#1 190
#2 195
#3 190...
Yes I ordered the shop manual and the carb Manual and they have just arrived.
Definitely disappointed in the dealer, but not really surprised either. They did not charge me for the second trip when they didnt resolve the issue. They said “sometimes these dash post valves can cause problem like...
Hey guys
I recently got a 2007 BF25D from my grandfather. It had been in storage for almost 10 years. It has only 160 hours on it.
I brought it to my local Honda shop. They did a complete overhaul of the carbs. They also did all of the recommended services impeller, engine oil, gear oil...
