    Yumbo order- unbelievable FedEx shipping

    Decided to try Yumbo for some Honda parts not easily available locally and to see how it worked. Their site is not very user friendly at all, you place the order and then it takes a while to get it confirmed they have the part and receive it from a supplier. You pay for the part on order, it’s...

    Spam

    I’m seeing lots of spam and seeing everyone on this forum is seeing it too and we have all reported it. Hopefully it gets cleared out, it’s also on the other forums, like Mercury, so I assume after the holidays it will be fixed. Hopefully.

    1999 130hp spark plugs

    These are my spark plugs I removed yesterday, likely 8+ years old, I think they look pretty good. They are original spec NGK ZFR 7F-11, is there any upgrade available for say iridium?

    2005 5 Hp - idle on without thermostat?

    Working on this nice little outboard, unknown maintenance, used only in salt water about 5-10 hours a year on a dinghy. Looks very good but lower gear oil looked questionable, motor oil looks very clean/clear, spark plug looks ok, telltale puts out a lot of water. External fuel tank looks good...

    Are any Honda outboards direct injection?

    DI is good on fuel but adds complexity plus a new maintenance requirement to clean the back side of valves of carbon. On autos, this occurs around 150,000kms/100,000 miles. With outboards doing a lot of low speed trolling, I can see the buildup of carbon happening much faster than in an...

    2001 BF90A-Running rough at low RPM

    I have another neighbour with a rough running Honda, I’m going to check plugs, change the fuel filter, and add a good dose of Sea Foam to the fuel. I believe a valve adjustment could be part of the problem? What are the valve settings on this outboard? Thanks, Don

    2002 BF50A valve adjustment help

    Going to do one on a friends 2002 but have no shop manual. Is intake 0.13-0.17mm and 0.21-0.25 mm exhaust correct for clearances? Done cold, choke and throttle wide open, all 3 plugs out, rotate counterclockwise, any other advice appreciated. Don

    1-2-both Blue Sea dual battery switch

    In 1 position, I’m getting a lack of starter power, , just clicking, switching to battery 2 or both, starts fine. Voltage on both batteries is 12.5ish with engines off, with switch in the position for battery 1 or 2, and 14.3 v in the position for 1 or 2. Does this mean I have a bad switch or...

    1999 130hp throttle & shifter cable replacement

    My top mount shifter is shifting hard, difficult to gently add rpm on the throttle, one cable cover is cracked where it enters the outboard. I assume both cables are original 1999 and salt water use. Any recommendations on replacement? Honda, Teleflex, or other? Thanks for any assistance or...

    Thermostat Question

    I know it’s not a Honda but you fellows have lot of experience with outboards and this is a generic sort of question. Friend has a 1996 mercury 50 hp 4 stroke, which is one merc sourced from Yamaha while they developed their own 4 strokes. It a 4 cylinder carbed model, a real nice running little...

    2017 Mercury 30hp 4 stroke idle sticks

    Neighbors outboard, used every year, just going in the water and had a problem with idle. It’s in a center console small zodiac, has mercury remote shifter, side mount. It starts and runs great except when I used the high idle lever and let it run in a barrel, run it up to 2500, take lever...

    1999 BF130 tilting shaft tube part number

    I can’t find a part number for this, mine is rusty, I cleaned it out and greased it and installed a new cable plus starboard side grease nut 2-3 years ago, now jammed up again inside the shaft. I’d like to find a stainless shaft. It’s the tube inside the tilt tube, threaded on both ends, the...

    Good digital tach for 1999 BF130

    What’s a good option for a digital tach- I see references to one called a Tiny Tach? I have an analogue Honda tach but I find it kind of vague for dealing with idle speeds/low speeds of Rpm. I tried my InNova timing light, it does not read accurately when connected to number 1 plug. Any...

    1999 BF130 IAC gaskets?

    Was planning to remove the IAC and clean it but having a delay in getting a gasket. From what I see, it looks like a double o ring? So is it reusable? There is also a filter, looks stainless so likely reusable once cleaned?

    Battery to outboard cable question

    1999 130hp, moving 2 batteries from stern splash well into the center console. The wire cable feed from the outboard to the battery and a master switch is currently a rectangular shaped double cable that passes through a big rubber grommet in the outboard case. 1. I need to extend this cable...

    1999 Honda 130hp- hour meter?

    I don’t have an hour meter on my outboard and am wondering the easiest way to add a simple one that works off my key switch power or some other method that someone might recommend. I’m picturing an LCD type dash mounted or even installed under the engine cowling, pulling key on only power. Or...

    Hydraulic Steering Recommendation

    My original (I believe) 1986 cable steering is slipping, I assume the gears are stripped. I’m pulling the boat today to check it out. Prior boat had hydraulic, Sea Star, I liked it a lot more than the old cable system. Cost of a Seastar system is significantly higher than a NFB cable system...

    2005 T60TLR Shifter 703 Button broke

    Helping a friend with this outboard, his up down button broke off. How do I figure out which 703 this is to order the part? It’s a right side mount. When I look up parts drawings on line for this outboard, under controls it shows nothing for the shift handle parts. Another question, where...

    1996 mercury 4 stroke coils 50 hp

    Carb model 4 cylinder, it’s been breaking down once warm, carbs cleaned, it fouled #4 plug, now has new plugs. Acts to me like a coil breaking down once it heats up. The pee stream is cool, so not overheating? engine has low hours, clean fuel. How do you diagnose a bad coil? Where is a good...

    1999 BF130AX HP Telltale questions

    When running/flushing at say 2000RPM in a barrel, I have water coming out of a hole behind the pitot tube? Is that normal? When running in a barrel as per above, I get a small dribble of water out the hose connection, is that normal? You can see I still have the hose connection attached here...
