Greetings fellow Honda owners,
I am having a new issue that I hope somebody can help me with.
I have a 2003 Honda BF 225 with 3300 hours on it.
The engine has been meticulously maintained since I bought it new.
This summer the engine began to whine at idle speed. This is an intermittent whine that only seems to happen at idle speed when I shift from neutral into gear. The whine will disappear once I increase the RPM.
The whining noise is loud and very noticeable.
The engine runs great, the alternator is charging and the water pump is pumping plenty of water.
I have replaced the alternator belt, adjusted and tightened the timing belt and there was no change.
I recently completed major maintenance to include new thermostats, oil, filter, spark plugs, coils, fuel filters, impeller and lower unit oil.
The whine started three months ago and was very intermittent, but lately the whine is occurring almost every trip and needs to be addressed.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thank you!
Ben
