    BF225A HP fuel pump

    You might want to check out the fuses. Looking at the wiring.diagram the main relay gets and delivers power through a few fuses. Sometimes just pulling a fuse, checking it for continuuty and putting it back can knock off enough corrosion to have it make better connection. A little contact...

    stray current

    To answwr your question about current flowing when the switch is in the.OFF position, NO.... ...UNLESS... the switch is defective in some way. Switches CAN break internally and allow unintentional current flow. They can also "stick" on or partially on. A boat can act like a battery part in...

    BF225A HP fuel pump

    Up front, I'm no Honda 225 guru. Never worked on one. Just pointing out that this could be a wiring or connection problem. A partially broken, multi-strand wire can ohm test "good" (providing continuity) or deliver full voltage for your meter to see if only one wire strand is still intact. But...

    BF20 overheating

    Hi, Not much info provided. Is this actually a post 2002 BF20D or an old pre 1997 BF20? How long have you owned it? Bought new? Used? Did this just suddenly start happening? What does "thermostat's fine".mean? You tested that it opens fully in 140°f to 150°f water? Did you replace...

    BF60 Moisture in engine oil

    Hi, I honestly don't know. I have never worked on a Honda 60. That does look like water intrusion though and it doesn't look good to me. When I was first reading your post, I was thinking "maybe a cold running engine due to a stuck open thermostat". But then I saw the pictures you posted and...

    New timing belt edge chewed

    Hi, If the damage is on the belt's edge, I would look closely at the belt retainer flanges on both the tensioner pulley (item 7) and the idler wheel (item 12) along with the crank pulley (3) for any burr or nick that could contact the belt...

    Honda 20HP Engine Stand Recommendations

    I have a large capacity wheeled stand for my '06 BF20D. LRTA. The stand was made for much heavier outboards and that makes it very easy to use with the 20D. One thing that became annoying for me was the pneumatic tires going flat. I bought wheels with solid rubber tires so that, when I went...

    Honda BF50A Trouble restarting after running great for hours

    You might consider runinng the 50 that's not fed adjacent with 9.9 on a portable tank to see if the problem changes for that unit. The fuel pressure specification for the 50A is listed as 2.8 lbs. That indicates that the "lift" or suction value of those pumps is likely quite low too. So, again...

    Honda BF50A Trouble restarting after running great for hours

    Yeah, the outboards are older than the hull then. My mistake. Here's the page for your vin #s As you can see, pretty much the same.stuff. https://www.boats.net/catalog/honda/outboard/pre-1997/50hp/bf50a-lrta-vin-bazl-1000001-to-bazl-1099999/carburetor 1500 hours isn't much so my valve...

    Honda BF50A Trouble restarting after running great for hours

    You're welcome. Yes, checking boxes is about all you can do to find the cause. I know the Keihin carbs on these pretty well and have studied the Honda carb manual. I have two editions. While this does sound like it could be fuel starvation problem. It doesn't sound like a carb issue to me. I'm...

    Honda B100L Timing/Stumped

    Not knowing your boating experience, I will say that, because the waterpumps are self priming, you should never start it dry....out of the water. The pump is very powerful and will produce damaging heat in just seconds without water for lubrication. That will destroy the impeller and melt and...

    Honda BF50A Trouble restarting after running great for hours

    Contact the administrator about the trouble loading pics. They arr friendly and helpful. There's been some recent marketing spam so it could be something related to preventing that. Those primer bulb arrows need to point upward to ensure the check valve always works properly. They don't need to...

    Honda B100L Timing/Stumped

    Sounds like you'6re making progress. Since it's "new to you", it would be a good idea to, at some point, to check and possibly change the lower unit gear oil and maybe look at the condition of the thermostat and it's housing. Getting a shop manual would definetly be a big help for you to...

    Honda BF50A Trouble restarting after running great for hours

    Hi, Jusr letting you know that no photo was attached to your post. I find that I usually need to reduce the file size to 40% or lower to post pictures here. It doesn't seem that doing that harms the picture quality much at all. It wasn't clear to me, from reading your post, if the no start...

    Honda B100L Timing/Stumped

    Hi, In the picture you posted, you can see the pull starter support. Next to the bolt hole there is a stamped line. To time the valves, bring the top cylinder piston to TDC on compression stroke (valves closed) and the "T" should align with the stamped line next to the bolt hole. There is...

    Water at flywheel and rusted starter

    The "find the leak" advice from boscoe is something I would heed and should have suggested myself. I see from the parts diagram that the block thermostat (item 9) as well as the water temperature sensor (item 16) are both located just above the starter. Link attached below. It's possible that...

    Water at flywheel and rusted starter

    Hi, I can't answer your question. I was hoping someone else here might have seen this before and could give you some good advice. Somwtimes it's just because the post isn't read by people that you don't get an answer. So, I'm replying to "bump" you back up to the top of the mail list...
