    BF20 Headache

    Hi. Good news. It all seems to be caused by a half working thermostat. Ordered a new one with the broken water temp sensor and thought I'd check the existing one. Put old and new thermostat in boiling water and noticed the new one opened up about twice as much. After swapping out the thermostat...

    Thought this was too good to be true. My order was a thermostat, sensor and few bolts - came to 24 USD for the parts which was great. Shipping only 8 USD, great again - but the hidden customs tax ended up being 24 USD kinda kills it. There wasn't really information on that up front as well...

    Yeah heaps cheaper. Just got a few things. Quick question, do you pay for the parts and shipping separately in your experience? Feels like I only paid for the parts but I did select a shipping option...

    Ah crap. From past posts I thought there would be an alarm. Think I found the sensor. Will try opening up the cooling side, clean out what I find and flush. Appreciate the input. Will report back when I find what's causing it all

    Yep Green light is on the whole time. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there a buzzer that goes off when it overheats? It certainly doesn't smell like it's cooking itself but I hope I haven't been cooking it. No idea where that overheating temp sensor is. I'll do some looking but if there a...

    On the good news front the engine did get me to a favoured spot, about 10min ride away and managed to bag some decent fish 🙏

    Thanks. Only had time to shake out that chamber. Also took off the fuel pump and it all seemed ok but I don't really have a baseline to compare against. Can I open that thing up? Noticed it's only sold as an assembly. Took it out on the wknd and it only played up once and later in the day. I...

    BF20 Headache

    Yep I know. Have only had this thing for a few years and it's been a nightmare. It's probably had about 150hrs in that time so you've got to accept things need maintenance but this is something else. Many thanks for the ranges. Will shake out the chamber this afternoon. Appreciate the...

    BF20 Headache

    Not sure how to test that one. I plan to rule out what I can before taking this to mechanic again. Can you let me know why this seems like something to check? The engine runs perfectly when warm at all speeds. It's just when it's warming up or after a rest the issue happens. Interested in your...

    Any idea what the intake and exhaust range is for those valves on a bf20dk2? Also when you say spark plug lead gap you mean the electrode gap right? Sounds like you're talking about something else

    No wait that year of sale. Pretty sure it was 2017 but it's definitely a newer model

    Cheers will take a look. New impeller about a year ago and did new fuel lines when I swapped the tank under a year ago too.
