    Early 2000s bf90 carb head scratcher

    Well, all I can say is Whew! That's a relief because I was not looking forward to bugging you to get you to try things and have nothing I suggest work out to get a fix. People don't take well to open ended suggestions that don't work and I know people get mad at me and often just want me to...

    Early 2000s bf90 carb head scratcher

    I've never worked on a 90 so my questions are generic with guidance from the Honda Marine Carburetion Manual. It could take a bit of testing and adjusting to try and clear this condition up. You probably already know this but #4 (bottom) carb is the "BASE" carb for synching them. Did you set up...

    1999 BF50 Propeller Fitment

    Yeah, it's hard to tell (for me) how much damage your case has suffered by looking at the photo. It does look (to my old eyes) like there's still plenty of the retaining nut left but there could be fractures in it that can't be seen because of all the violent contact that was taking place. If...

    1999 BF50 Propeller Fitment

    Well, after looking at the parts page I sent you, it does appear that I was WRONG about the propshaft holder and bolts. It looks like your outboard has a different gearcase than the one I was thinking of. NO BOLTS, NO FLANGE. My confusion stems from what I believe is that Honda used.Mercury...

    1999 BF50 Propeller Fitment

    Weeeeell.... ....I hate to say this to you...and.... ....I sincerely HOPE that I'm wrong... ....I often am after all. But in your first photo at the top of the the thread, it looks as if the portion of the gearcase that the propshaft holder bolts to is no longer there! I also don't see the...

    Bf 200

    Hi, 2008? Only 500 hours? Sorta/kinda sounds like they couldn't figure out the problem and just parked it for 18 years? Do you know if it starts, runs and will push the hull? Albeit not for long I'm guessing. You may want to see if the dealer has, and is willing to give you, the recorded...

    2013 Honda 9.9 four Stroke wont stay running sometimes.

    Try unplugging the temperature sensor (item 16 in link) and see if it will stay running as per Ian's suggestion in post #2 of this very old thread. If that doesn't work, start your OWN post with more information than you provided here. Describe the problem with as much detail as you can...

    Leaking water jacket

    Hi, If you have access to a "real" straight edge, you might want to use it to look for any low spots or warping of the cover. Since you seem to think someone has "been thar afore ye", it's possible that the cover was bolted back on incorrectly in the past. Poor technique, like tightening the...

    BF225 - Tips for removing propshaft holder?

    Your hesitation is just nature's way of expressing how WISE you really are! Care and patience are the two things that will work in your favor to prevent breakage and financial tragedy. It sounds as if corrosion has a firm grip on the holder and forcing it is likely to only end with a cracked...

    10 Amp fuse blows on my BF30

    Hi, Yes, finding a blown fuse problem can be tough, for sure. But the no warning lights in the remote thing could be a big clue. We're those working OK before this started happening?

    10 Amp fuse blows on my BF30

    Hi, I don't have the wiring diagram for your outboard but the parts page shows two 15 amp fuses for the charging system and two 10 amp fuses in the remote control wire harness. That says that the 10 amp fuse that's blowing, may be for ignitiin/starting or possibly the choke. I don't know. If...

    BF15A Fuel Pump rebuild

    Hi, No, you shouldn't need to drain the engine oil. The fuel pump should mount to the cylinder head valve cover and is powered by a lobe on the camshaft. Any oil up in that area will have drained back into the oil pan by the time you've removed the pump. It looks like there's a fairly large...

    Popping sound on my trim and tilt

    Well, in my opinion, you don't need to worry about the zinc, wire OR those bushings. 50 hours is almost nothing for these as long as it's on a trailer and not submerged in salt water on the back of a boat. It also sounds to me as if you've taken care of your concern with a little clean up and...

    Popping sound on my trim and tilt

    Hi, There are many years models of the 115 Honda. You didn't say how old yours is. Do you know how old the outboard is? Look at the link below. Is the popping coming from the area of item number 10?...bushing, swivel case. If so, is item number 9, wire, lead (the electrical ground bonding...
