"hello,
my outboard stopped
"hello,
my outboard stopped to throw the control water jet
it's a 4 stroke Honda 40 HP, BF40
it seems to run ok, which makes me think the water pump is working
questions:
- if the water pump won't work, this outboard will stop or show signs of not cooling properly, or will just run till disaster ?
- how can I find out if the water pump works, as long as is not throwing the control jet ?
- if the control jet is blocked because of debries or something like this, is there any good method to unblock it ? I tryied using some wires and push them on the control jet hole, I used a compressor, I even blowed and it did not seemed to be blocked, when I blowed some gasoline started to get out on another hole..
The boat is in a remote location and it would be difficult to take it to a repair shop.....
thank you !"
