    BF225A HP fuel pump

    Update. I took all the electrical connections off the mounting bracket where the main relay is, got the main relay off and replaced it with a pillaged one from a parts engine. All the connections went together easily and back on the mounting bracket where they should be. Motor fired right up. So...

    BF20 overheating

    The sensor is what makes the alarm go off. It detects that your engine is getting too hot and then the alarm sounds. This has nothing to do with the thermostat. Find where the overheating sensor is on your engine and see if it’s operating correctly. You should be able to test it or just replace...

    BF20 overheating

    If the telltale is strong not likely a blockage. Have you checked the actual sensor. I’m pretty sure if you take out the sensor and check the resistance while cold it should show an open circuit and when hot the resistance should be low. You can just replace it for under $50. When out on the...

    BF225A HP fuel pump

    Good idea and I did do that maybe the first thing. Moved around #4 and the 30 amp. I’m never that lucky. I’ve been removing all the electrical in front of the relay. Major pain. Nothing hard but just a lot of taking pics popping connectors moving wires just to get to the relay. Hopefully I can...

    BF225A HP fuel pump

    @jgmo I agree with testing with some type of load. Light would be best. I have a test battery I can get a good idea of full power light and compare that to what I’m getting at the 2p connector. I’m not excited about replacing the main relay if that’s the issue. Lots of electrical clipped on the...

    BF225A HP fuel pump

    My engine quit running the other day out of the blue. The first thing I thought of was fuel. Checked the external water/fuel separator seems fine. Checked low pressure bulbs and they were clear no water. I emptied them and they filled back up when I was turning over the motor(not starting just...

    BF225A3 propeller bearing holder

    This was out to replace the bearing holder itself. The outboard was originally a Florida engine and it had a lot of salt corrosion on the bearing holder. I also replaced all the bearings for the prop and the vertical shaft since I had them both out. I had a thought last night of course just to...

    BF225A3 propeller bearing holder

    Yeah thanks I agree that it should go in easily. But it’s not. If you look at the first diagram the front grease arrow points to where the oil seal is located. That is where the bearing holder is getting stuck going into the gear case. It’s almost like it’s too big to fit into the gear case.Yeah...

    BF225A3 propeller bearing holder

    Yes that’s the correct diagram except it’s counter. I’ve read all the shimming procedures for the forward gear and pinion gear. I used the same shims on the install as were there when I uninstalled them. For this though I’m not even getting the bearing carrier to slide into the gear housing at...

    BF225A3 propeller bearing holder

    Hello all, I need some advice on installing the propeller bearing holder into the gear case of a 2004 honda 225a3. I have the forward gear and pinion gear installed as well as the vertical shaft. I’m having problems getting the bearing holder into the gear case. I have greased oiled heated...
