    BF90D overheating at WOT

    I don’t know about engine height on a pontoon but I’ve used only a floor jack to move an outboard up or down. Loosen all bolts with the jack taking the load, block the wheels on the jack if on asphalt or concrete. Use a big screwdriver in the top bolt holes to align them in the new location. I...

    Hondas 150 HP stalling at idle.

    You may not have a local supply of sea foam?😁 I live near the town of Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada. Our boating season is about June 1 to early October, I don’t burn as much fuel as you do.

    Hondas 150 HP stalling at idle.

    Read this post, it kinda outlines the fuel quality issue in a boat with an internal fuel tank? https://www.marineengine.com/boat-forum/threads/honda-200-hp-efi-outboard-issues.488363/

    Honda BF-20D Carb Repair

    I have learned about fuel issues by owning a generator, outboards, lawn mowers, chain saw, and antique cars. Bad fuel caused by age and other dirt or rust screws up fuel tanks, lines, pumps, filters, carbs and fuel filters. Especially true on 4 stroke outboards, the oil mixed fuel in a 2...

    Hondas 150 HP stalling at idle.

    I would do a valve adjustment as specified in the shop manual, in addition to the above recommendations. From what I read here, it’s best not to play with the idle adjustment screw on a fuel injected Honda outboard, unless all else fails. Clean fresh fuel with something like sea foam added to...

    Honda 200 HP EFI outboard issues

    That tank was a mess! Good idea to run it on a portable, I’d run it a whole tank on the water under load once you get it running. Load the fuel with lots of sea foam. Good chance you do need new plugs and good luck.

    Running issue with 2008 BF225 with 1000 hours.

    A fuel leak can allow air into the fuel system, that will cause lots of running issues at idle and all the way through the rpm range. Plus gas fumes are very volatile, you might blow up. Could it be a fuel tank leak- pressure test it. You only need to apply say 2 lbs of air pressure. An...

    Honda 200 HP EFI outboard issues

    Get the inline fuel water separator with the clear bottom, you can see dirt, water, and old cloudy fuel.

    Honda 200 HP EFI outboard issues

    That filter in your last picture looks dirty? Replace all filters, then see if it will run on your fresh fuel. Be very careful with having an open gas can, as opposed to a portable marine fuel tank with closed connections. Got anyone who would lend you a portable marine tank?

    Honda 200 HP EFI outboard issues

    Old gas- depends on how old it is. How much do you think you have in the tank? My previous Whaler had a US 63 gallon aluminum tank that started to leak from rust. I disconnected the fuel hose at the outboard and using a longer hose, siphoned all I could get out into portable fuel cans. Pumping...

    Honda 200 HP EFI outboard issues

    Are you using a portable fuel tank? If not, try one- to ensure clean fuel and no issues with fuel supply or venting. Use a large dose of something like sea foam in the fuel. In boat tanks can be a source of many problems, temporary use of a portable tank eliminates that as a source of your...

    BF115A no voltage to fuel pump

    My 1999 130 which very similar to your 115, when you turn the key on, it beeps and the oil light and gen light by the key switch come on, but the oil light goes off before it starts.

    Honda 250 starter getting wet

    I just put a starter on a friend’s 2001 90, there is an o ring at the base of the starter, I assume to keep humidity out? The o ring was there on the old starter but there was still surface rust on the starter nose below the o ring. Do you have an o ring in the same area? How bad was the rust...

    RPM, speed and fuel consumption question for BF225

    Same as a motor vehicle, fuel consumption depends on rpm and load. Load includes extra weight and or operating conditions, say headwinds or current and trim. I set my trim based on speed on the gps, I keep fine trimming at a constant rpm until the sog peaks.
