    Honda BF-20D Carb Repair

    I just realized that we never spoke about whether your carb is an auto choke (remote control outboard) or a manual choke (tiller handle outboard). Once again, I get out over the skis. And here I was popping off about the auto choke. Actually, they are very similar in operation but it's good...

    Honda BF-20D Carb Repair

    Well, no problem about speedyness. Time is part of my riches. The problem is that the 20 D carb is a bit more sophisticated and finicky than it looks other than that accelerator pump. Leaving fuel sit in the bowl truly can complicate getting her going again. I should have told you before but...

    Honda 225 will not turn over / tilt not working

    THAT WAS TOO EASY!!! 🤣 Kidding! Glad you found the problem. Thanks for updating. You could though use that bad cable as a prop to teach yourself how easy and effective the voltage drop testing technique is. It is amazing how accurate it finds wires and cables that are partially broken but...

    BF40E issue

    Water vaporator?? Some new fangled, space age device for 2024 I guess... ...OR If you mean water SEPARATOR, it's NOT supposed to be empty. It should have gasoline in it and that gasoline is supposed to go to the engine after any water in it has been "separated" and can be seen and drained...

    Honda BF-20D Carb Repair

    Not sure how I double posted but sorry about that. Have you had any progress with this project? I started thinking about why you took it apart and realize I should have given you some tips about what happens when gas is allowed to sit in the bowl too long. If she's not firing up and running...

    BF40 High Idle

    Hi, You might want to inspect the components in the link below. Pay particular attention to the throttle linkage return spring...item #8. But anything rubbing or hanging against another part could also cause this so check everything out closely...

    Honda 225 will not turn over / tilt not working

    "all fuse good"... ...in what way? Visually or electrically? My point is that a fuse may look "good" but that can fool you. It's best to test the fuse before assuming it's a good one and moving on if you suspect that it could be a problem. I have to say that the same often applies to "all...

    BF200 Tilt Motor problem

    Hi, You can  probe the blue or green wire using a needle to test if voltage is being sent when the relay clicks. Once you have the information, you can remove the needle and repair the puncture in the insulation with something. Nail polish works well but secure ir with some ""sensor safe"...

    Honda BF60a Flush port clogged

    Well, that anode looks pretty bad to me. I think getting in there was a very good move. Makes me wonder what things look like inside the head. Any idea about how many hours are on this engine? I wish that I had some better ideas for cleaning the 90 out but I'm not coming up with any...

    Honda BF60a Flush port clogged

    Is that rust colored item around the Phillips screw one of the zinc anodes? And are you saying that you were able to clear the blockage in the 90° passage?

    BF115A Honda 115 Four Stroke Stuttering/Cutting Out At High RPM

    Please don't scrimp on the manual! You're likely to regret that. The genuine Honda Publications is available here: https://publications.powerequipment.honda.com/marine The real deal manual is the only way to spend your cash. 1/2 priced, knockoff manuals just provide 2× the disappointment...

    BF115A Honda 115 Four Stroke Stuttering/Cutting Out At High RPM

    Sorry, got the year wrong. I guess your filter is like item 38 in the link below. https://www.boats.net/catalog/honda/outboard/2003/115hp/bf115a3-xa-vin-bzbd-1400001-to-bzbd-1499999/vapor-separator I was typing while NSDON was answering you. He knows his way around the 115 so he's a good guy...

    BF115A Honda 115 Four Stroke Stuttering/Cutting Out At High RPM

    Hi, Assuming that you use a portable gas tank, that's where I would start. Make sure nothing is floating around in the tank and that it is clean. Check the vent to make sure it's fully open and there's no debris or dirt partially blocking it. Those vents will vibrate closed over time. Then...

    Emulsified seawater + diesel = burnt/obstructed valves?

    Still needing to transit the canal then up the continent 25° Lat... ....2600NM... Not sure I could hold the pucker that distance. But VERY interested in seeing the after action log wherever that may be completed. Good luck.

    Honda BF60a Flush port clogged

    Yes, it sometimes breaks my brain why engineers would come up with designs like that. You would think that a 5 year old playing with dolls would know better than to put an INACCESSIBLE, 90° passageway for a critical fluid encapsulated in a major component but there's the proof that it happens...

    Honda BF60a Flush port clogged

    Yes! That is page F-3-30 which I initially posted (without all the pop ups) and explained that there's a 90° turn to that passage that can be a "catch all" for debris that causes blockages to form. As I indicated before, if you think the blockage is "in there" you can use shop air to try and...

    Honda BF60a Flush port clogged

    Well, I don't know. Do you think that yours is a "factory" set up and came that way? If so, I listed everything I could find on the parts pages except the flush cap on the stbd. side under cover. I'll include that now. See item 1 in the link below...

    Honda BF-20D Carb Repair

    Hi W Yep, an oversight in the Honda service information including only a fleeting, unhelpful "instruction" about "properly positioning" the "circlip" (their term) in the Honda Marine Carburetion Manual. No pictures or illustrations of said circlip in that book either. You made no mention of...
