    vst question

    So I'm slowly narrowing down my problem. I think I ran out of gas or was very close to it and that might have been the original cause. I replaced the high pressure fuel pump and can hear it fire up on the first click of the ignition for 3 seconds. For some reason the gas is not getting to the...

    Yamaha f90 not priming on startup

    Hello I've got a problem that I'm trying to track down. I have a yamaha 4stroke f90 and had never had any issues until now. I was at idle and the motor quit. Trying to restart it only let the engine run a few seconds and then stop. It is not the primer bulb as the bulb remained hard. It may...

    How do you register a unregistered trailer in california?

    I just got a boat delivered from Florida to California. The boat registration was easy, as I had bill of sale and title of the boat. Registering the trailer though proved to be a problem. In Florida you don't need registration for any trailer under 1500 lbs which mine is (16' magic tilt...

    Hello I've got a question on a boat I'm looking at purchasing. The boat is a small center console with a 50 hp Mercury 4stroke (carbureted version, not fuel injected) outboard on it. The owner is unsure of the year but the engine worked fine for the first four years. The engine only has...

    Honda Bf130 spark plug wires

    I need two new spark plug wires (just the wires not the ignition coil) and was curious if the wires were specific for each cylinder? I know that the ignition coil set is labeled 1,4 or 2,3 but from what I could tell when I looked at where it was attached to the ignition coil they had screw...

    Oil in spark plug wells bf130

    I was on my way back yesterday and noticed the engine suddenly acted like there was missing or one cylinder not working correctly. I shut the engine down and noticed that one of the spark plug wires had wiggled out and was pretty wet from engine oil. I popped the wire back in and it ran fine...

    Hi Mike et al. Do any of you folks have a copy of the honda service bulletin #56? At our work we've got a honda bf225 that has a stuck spark plug and when I was reading up on things about my own bf130 I came across a partial service bulletin for the 225 but cannot find the whole bulletin...

    Honda BF130 dying before running

    I'm having problems again with my honda bf130. I just changed out the low pressure fuel pump a few months ago and the engine was running great, I made a 120 mile run with no problems before this happened. I filled up the tank and stored the boat for about 3 weeks or so, today when I put it in...

    BF130 Fuel Pump problem?

    Epilogue: I wanted to see what makes the low pressure fuel pump tick so I took my old one apart. I got a security bit set from harbor freight tools for about 7$ and took off the nuts/security bolts. There are three springs that work the plunger/piston thing that move the fuel through the...

    Yamaha Ring Free Shock Treatment

    I am about to do the shock treatment using Yamaha Ring Free on my Honda BF130 four stroke and have a couple of questions. The shock treatment uses 2oz/10 gallons and I know I can buy a bunch of it and do my whole gas tank (70 gallons) but I've been reading up and some people recommend using a...

    BF130 Fuel Pump problem?

    Already started on that Mike :). I took it out today for a full sea trial today. The boat ran flawless, not a hiccup the entire day and I ran about 34 miles total. Ended up taking a small 15 pound white seabass which is marinating in teriyaki sauce as we speak. Many many thanks guys, I'm going...

    BF130 Fuel Pump problem?

    I feel like a broken record. I'm still having problems with my bf130 and it is definitely fuel related. The problem is when it is under load it will begin to lean out and will stall. There are no problem if I take it out of gear and increase the revs to 4k rpm, it only happens when it is under...

    Honda BF 130 "Vapor Chamber" and high pressure fuel filter replacement

    Symptoms: My honda bf130 (I am not the original owner) is still having surging problems. Sometimes the engine runs fine, then surges and stalls under load. Sometimes I'll pump the fuel bulb and then it goes away and sometimes it comes back about five minutes later or not at all. Replaced all...

    Fuel Primer Bulb/fuel pump question on a Honda BF130

    I'm having a problem with my honda 4stroke. it started out last summer, only on hot days my engine would run and then start to stall. If I throttled back a bit it would eventually clear itself out and then I'd never have the problem for the rest of the day. This would only happen on hot days...

    BF130 fuel filters

    I'm getting ready to change out my fuel filters and am trying to get a filter list. The fuel/water separator is a 60 GPH Racor Fuel/Water Replacement Element 17670-ZW1-801AH. I also saw two filters under the cowling that come directly from the gas line. One of them said "Taiyo Giken R27" and...
