    2005 BF90 warm restart issue

    Just a guess but you might want to have a look at the valve adjustment. Tight valves can affect starting. During "break in", an engine can experience some wear "up top" to rockers and stems as they work in against each other. The same goes for initial valve to seat contact. Whatever is causing...

    Honda 150 hp BAPJ crank/no crank

    Something "quick and dirty" you can try to find if its a bad batt cable is to overlay a jumper cable from battery to starter. I do that on cars but it's not as easy on outboards. Just another trick/idea if you wanted to give it a try. You need to be really careful to prevent "accidental welding"...

    BF60A trim problems

    Hi, I don't have quick or surefire answer for you. My experience with trim "repair" is putting seals or motors and brushes in a few BF20D units years ago. A real pita IMO. I'm not a "hydraulics tech" either. Did you back into anything or did someone run into your stern before this began...

    Honda 150 hp BAPJ crank/no crank

    Hi Allois, My first suspect for this would be poor battery cable connection or defective battery cable. It could be on the positive side or the negative as both are equally important in the circuit. Here's why I say that: Heat in a circuit creates increased resistance. A connection or a cable...

    BF20 overheating

    See item 8 in link for the temp sensor in question. Good luck. https://www.boats.net/catalog/honda/outboard/2007-and-later/20hp/bf20dk0-lrta-vin-bamj-1400001-to-bamj-1499999/cylinder-head

    BF225A HP fuel pump

    You might want to check out the fuses. Looking at the wiring.diagram the main relay gets and delivers power through a few fuses. Sometimes just pulling a fuse, checking it for continuuty and putting it back can knock off enough corrosion to have it make better connection. A little contact...

    stray current

    To answwr your question about current flowing when the switch is in the.OFF position, NO.... ...UNLESS... the switch is defective in some way. Switches CAN break internally and allow unintentional current flow. They can also "stick" on or partially on. A boat can act like a battery part in...

    BF225A HP fuel pump

    Up front, I'm no Honda 225 guru. Never worked on one. Just pointing out that this could be a wiring or connection problem. A partially broken, multi-strand wire can ohm test "good" (providing continuity) or deliver full voltage for your meter to see if only one wire strand is still intact. But...

    BF20 overheating

    Hi, Not much info provided. Is this actually a post 2002 BF20D or an old pre 1997 BF20? How long have you owned it? Bought new? Used? Did this just suddenly start happening? What does "thermostat's fine".mean? You tested that it opens fully in 140°f to 150°f water? Did you replace...

    BF60 Moisture in engine oil

    Hi, I honestly don't know. I have never worked on a Honda 60. That does look like water intrusion though and it doesn't look good to me. When I was first reading your post, I was thinking "maybe a cold running engine due to a stuck open thermostat". But then I saw the pictures you posted and...

    Honda BF50A Trouble restarting after running great for hours

    As the teen girls often say when they see something they don't care for...... ...EEEEEW! Dock gas gives me the heebee-jeebees!

    New timing belt edge chewed

    Hi, If the damage is on the belt's edge, I would look closely at the belt retainer flanges on both the tensioner pulley (item 7) and the idler wheel (item 12) along with the crank pulley (3) for any burr or nick that could contact the belt...

    Honda 20HP Engine Stand Recommendations

    I have a large capacity wheeled stand for my '06 BF20D. LRTA. The stand was made for much heavier outboards and that makes it very easy to use with the 20D. One thing that became annoying for me was the pneumatic tires going flat. I bought wheels with solid rubber tires so that, when I went...

    Honda BF50A Trouble restarting after running great for hours

    You might consider runinng the 50 that's not fed adjacent with 9.9 on a portable tank to see if the problem changes for that unit. The fuel pressure specification for the 50A is listed as 2.8 lbs. That indicates that the "lift" or suction value of those pumps is likely quite low too. So, again...

    Honda BF50A Trouble restarting after running great for hours

    Yeah, the outboards are older than the hull then. My mistake. Here's the page for your vin #s As you can see, pretty much the same.stuff. https://www.boats.net/catalog/honda/outboard/pre-1997/50hp/bf50a-lrta-vin-bazl-1000001-to-bazl-1099999/carburetor 1500 hours isn't much so my valve...
