    Honda BF15A Tell Tale Not Producing Water Stream

    Yikes! I hope that's all there is. That big chunk would be real trouble if it managed to work it's way up into a passage and got hard jammed. Nice goin'!

    Honda BF15A Tell Tale Not Producing Water Stream

    Well, the water not coming from the Tstat area bothers me but I don't know how you tested that. Were you using muffs or in a tank (trashcan) of water? It sounds like the pump may not be priming. If you're in a tank, make sure the water is above the vent plate 2 or three inches. If on muffs...

    Honda BF25D 2007 Cylinder 3 Issue

    Are those plugs original? The plugs support that there's been ignition at #1 and #2 and little to none at #3. But, because it has only run on two cylinders and then on only one for a brief time, i can't read much into what I'm seeing there. The bottom plug looks so fouled, it may not be capable...

    Honda BF15 Year Identification

    You will probably need to ask a Honda dealer parts guy to cross reference that number for you to an accurate answer.

    Honda BF15A Tell Tale Not Producing Water Stream

    Hi, Water not coming from the tell tale either means that the passage is blocked, the pump is not pushing water OR, when the water tube (item 6 in link) from pump outlet to engine got disturbed when the gearcase was off, it didn't get properly re-inserted into the hole in the block. Sometimes...

    Honda BF25D 2007 Cylinder 3 Issue

    Sorry, i forgot about your meter question. I guess my most useful advice is ....homework. You need to do some before plunking down cash for possibly one of the most useful tools you can own. It's been years since I bought my Fluke 87 and 87 V meters They aren't super precision but are...

    Hondas 150 HP stalling at idle.

    Well... ...Very good news! Always love to hear about success here! If you decide to do the throttle body, it's often best to take it off so you can access the back side of the throttle blade and inner portion of the "throat". There can be lots of dirt there you would miss otherwise. Just be...

    Honda BF25D 2007 Cylinder 3 Issue

    Wwll, after you read the section in the carb manual about the dash pot's function, you'll see they are full of IT. Either that or you could explain to ME how they could possibly be correct in that assesment. I would be suspicious about pretty much anything they touched. Although, your...

    Honda BF25D 2007 Cylinder 3 Issue

    Replace the dashpot? I'd like to hear their explanation for doing THAT! It does convince me though that you are a MUCH better choice for doing the work. They owe you money! Yes, you need to figure out why the problem follows that coil. But you'll need info for that. Do you have a shop manual...

    2017 BF60 weak tell tale

    Hi, Just taking some guesses. I've never worked on a BF60. If water is pushing.out of the flush port when the engine is running, I would suspect the flush valve is either coated with deposits, misaligned or the spring is bad. See items 11, 12 13, 14 in link below...

    Early Honda B100 10 Horse Rough running

    Yes, draining the carb or unhooking the tank and running her till she quits...or both...is good for keeping the carb "fresh" during storage. Water in the oil is a tough one to figure out sometimes. It can come from several places like head gasket....oil case gasket...or a hole in the block or...

    Early Honda B100 10 Horse Rough running

    Check out items# 13 and 14 in the link below: https://www.boats.net/catalog/honda/outboard/pre-1997/10hp/bf100-la-vin-bf100-1000001-to-bf100-1020309/oil-pump-oil-filter-muffler That oil fill body (item 13) is made from a soft type of plastic that warps due to heat from the engine. I have...

    Early Honda B100 10 Horse Rough running

    That sounds great Sam except for the oil leak problem. I hope the oil getting in the lower case is something you can find and fix without too much more work. Just make sure you check the level often so it doesn't get so low as to cause major damage.

    BF150 Repeated Stalls/Won’t Start

    Hi, Sorry you're having trouble. Ironically, I too was thinking "allergic to water" when I was reading your post. Have you taken a look at the water separator? Item 2 in link...

    BF 9.9 Dies soon after starting

    FWIW, I've tried doing those "cross check" resistance measurements a few times too and the readings never seemed to match that chart or make any sense to me either. hondadude, a once VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE contributor here agreed. He was an accomplished dealer tech that helped MANY people on this...
