"Hello All,
I own a Honda
"Hello All,
I own a Honda 9.9 outboard for my small sailboat. I like the engine overall it has served me well, however this year the engine will not rev beyond 3500 RPM, even when the throttle is fully depressed. I took off the cover and operated the motor and I located a square black box that has a white plug connector at the front of the engine. When I press down on the white plug...low and behold the engine runs perfect at 5,000 RPM! If I take pressure off the plug the engine does not go above 3.500 RPM. I believe the black box has male electrical pins and maybe one is broken... I dont know what this black box is or maybe I can order it and the white plug to possibly eliminate the source of the engine problem.
Thanks to anyone who has seen this problem...I appreciate your help!
Regards,
Steve B."
