The previous carb (that gummed up while I has in hospital) worked very well and started on the first key turn. With the new carb it will not start on the first key turn and I have to wait around 15 seconds...

    Auto Choke on BF20D

    Hi Guys My motor is running well with a new carb but although it starts on the first key turn it splutters and dies so I need to restart it and on the 2nd try it also starts instantly and doesn't stall but the auto choke manages to keep it running and after that it gets smoother and smoother...

    Back to Square 1 with BF20

    Hi Guys I had to buy a new carb (2nd one now) as I let the other one sit for nearly a year with fuel in the float chamber so it gummed up. Put a brand new carb onto the motor from Honda last weekend and actually used the boat to push and shove a houseboat around into a new pen with no issue...

    Honda 20D tell tail seems a little weak?

    Another approach to carb channel cleaning??

    Saw this on the Facebook Sailing and Cruising Group .. "After 3 months on the hard, our rib with Yamaha 15hp would not idle. Everything pointed to the carburettor and we were at anchor off an island in Thailand. Used a butane gas lighter refill can to blow through all the channels in dismantled...

    Is the BF20D silencer carb gasket essential?

    Hi Guys The fancy gasket between the plastic silence box and the carb face is somewhat shredded and broken. I have ordered another one but in the meantime if I run without the gasket will if affect running as it could suck air between the silencer and the carb face ..Honda obviously include it...

    Hi Guys I bought a 3.7m dinghy with a Honda BF20D motor that had been standing for a year and obviously wouldn't run well so I stripped the carb and gave it a good clean but it still struggles to start. I need to ask two questions for those experts with these little carbs. I took the float...
