    Honda BF50 bogs down, expert mechanic perplexed. What say you masters of mechanics?

    Stale and/or low octane fuel will also cause it to bog down when the engine is cold and accelerating rapidly.

    Advise needed. Buying a boat with a '04 Honda 150 with low compression

    As already said, maybe the throttle was closed when tested. Or it could be a compression gauge fault e.g. the gauge is under-reading either because it is faulty, or they are using a flexible gauge adaptor & the schrader valve which must be fitted to the engine end of the adaptor is missing or...

    BF225 - Tilt Motor Bogging Down / Quitting

    Maybe the 4 motor casing crush tubes aren't s/steel?

    BF150 Crank but no start ( Hot no Start)

    Check the VST water cooling chamber is flowing water through it. It could be blocked & allowing the fuel to vaporize causing a no-start?

    Honda parts

    Thanks iang, and there is another company called Impex-Japan who I've used for a number of years, who operate the same as Yumbo with the exact same(good) prices. The shipping from Japan to New Zealand takes typically 1 week using DHL or Fed-Ex, & that's going via China, Singapore, & Australia...

    Honda BF130A

    You didn't say how many hours it has done. If you're going to buy a BF130, then a 2003/2004 year is the best model to get. Pre 2003, pre BZBE 1400001 they had a possibility of a cracked cylinder head, & even earlier the possibility of a cracked cylinder. Being a 20 year old motor if it's been...

    BF150 Barometric Sensor

    High altitude requires a leaner fuel mixture. Not sure how that relates to boat motors, being at sea level, unless you're on a lake high above sea level. Bob

    Honda 115 suddenly running loud

    Have you tried trimming the motor in/down? If the motor is trimmed out/up too far it will be louder than normal due to the exhaust exiting the water directly Bob.

    Honda BF130hp BZBE1200302

    Check your VST water jacket for blockage. If it is blocked the fuel in the VST can vaporize & cause hard starting only when hot. Part #6 https://www.boats.net/catalog/honda/outboard/130hp/bf130a2-xa-vin-bzbe-1300001-to-bzbe-1399999/vapor-separator-1 Bob

    Yes, that is correct.

    BF50 2006.....Cylinder #2 not firing....

    If you get a spark on all 3 cylinders, then most likely a blocked idle jet on #2 carb. Bob

    BF130 water in oil and questionable compression

    You said you fitted a new cyl head, which should be the superseded part #12201 ZW5 020ZA. You must also use the superseded head gasket part #12251 ZW5 023 to match that cyl head. But I see that Impex still sell the earlier head gasket #12251 ZW5 013, which won't suit the new head. Hopefully you...

    BF130 low idle

    They idle quite slow when in gear, about 650 RPM. There is an adjustable idle air bleed, but it is unlikely it will need adjusting. Most likely the IAC(idle air control valve), and the throttle body need cleaning(watch you tube video to see how to do it). Here is a link to a free workshop manual...
