    BF 75 Oil Pump

    While out boating today the oil light went on and engine went into low RPM mode. Thought it was low oil but found that was not the case. Someone has suggested it may be the oil pump. This is a 1997 Honda BF-75. Engine hours are relatively low despite the age. Is the oil pump the most likely...

    Honda BF75 running on Flush Port

    My Scout is now in care of my Grandson. He had a low battery on the trailer and jump started the Honda BF75 [1996] only using the flush port. I know the manual says this is not to be done but here is my question. He got caught in the bay with an alarm and we are thinking it is the impeller...

    Honda BF75 and avoiding carb problems

    I have a 1996 Honda BF75 and after purchasing the boat it is on about 10 years ago I had to have the carbs replaced due to gumming up because it had sat for so long at the former owners without use. I currently use non ethanol gas with stabilizer and drain the carbs for the winter. This year...

    1996 BF-75 Fuel Pump??

    I noticed that I was making some oil when putting the boat away for the season. It was about 1/4" above the full line. It was suggested that the most likely culprit was the seal for the fuel pump. Would that make sense and, if so, can the O ring seal be replaced or does the entire fuel pump...

    BF75 carb drain question

    I have a Honda BF75 carbed outboard. I always use the carb drains when winterizing but would like some advice on how long I can leave the boat in season without having to drain the carbs. The manual just states how to drain them not any time intervals. I use non ethanol fuel and fuel treatment...

    BF75 on engine filter question

    I changed out the small engine filter on my 1996 BF75 a few years ago. I do use a seperate filter/water separator but was wondering if the engine filter is also a water separator even as small as it is. If so does water that may have gotten past the large seperate filter when I had ethanol...

    Honda BF75 problem

    I have a 1996 Honda BF75. It has been running great and I use only non ethanol fuel, 10 micron filter. I was heading out today for the last nice day prior to putting away. When at the dock I noticed the fuel ball did not firm up as much as normal but did not think much more about it . Started up...

    BF75 coil question

    Last year I had to have a coil replaced on one of the cylinders on my 96 BF75. The motor has been running fine since but to help me avoid paranoia while runniong around on the bay here is my question. Just because one coil went bad is there any reason to worry about another crapping out or is it...

    Keeping Fuel Bulb Pumped Up?

    My Honda 75 carbuerated 4 stroke does have carb drains which they advise draining if boat is idle for several weeks. In the real world however, what happens is a planned trip or two are delayed for various reasons and the next thing one knows several weeks have gone by. My concern, I guess, is...

    winterzing mistake question

    After a long final day of boating I began winterizing my boat and Honda 75. I had cleaned the boat then worked on the motor changing the oil, flushing with Saltaway and drained the carbs. I then pulled each plug and sprayed fogging oil in each cylinder. After reinserting the plugs I decided that...

    Honda 75 carbed help needed

    I have a 1996 carbed 75 Honda. It looks new and I keep it as good as I can. Did have an issue with ethanol last year and had carbs rebuilt, tank pumped clean and now use regular gas and run a 10 micron filter. The motor was running the best it ever has......until today. Was out on the river when...

    I have a 1996 75 hp carbed Honda. It is well maintained. 10 micron filter and have run about 4 tanks of ethanol before I was able to convert to regular gas now carried by our marina. I use PRI-G stabilizer full time. What happened beginning this year is I am getting a surge at 1100 rpm that...

    Honda 75 surging

    I was not having any luck on other forums with this problem so someone directed me here. My Honda 75 carb model is only on its second outing this year. Both times the following issue was present. At about 1200 rpm I will get surges of as much as 400rpm. Not continual but intermittent. However...
