Hi all,
I just purchased a BF100S (assuming mid 80's) blue & white. The motor appears to be in immaculate condition with brand new parts everywhere. I have not started it because I cannot find a fuel hose to fit the connector on the motor but have heard that a Johnson / Evenrude hose will fit, is this correct of do I need to chage the connectors to newer ones? I also cannot find a downloadable service manual, anyone have a link for it?
Lastly, gentleman who sold me the motor said that after five minutes of running it gets hot and shuts down. I have checked the engine oil, it is full, the impeller is new as well. The intake screen is also clear and new. What could be the problem? I'm guessing thermostat or clogged cooling jackets? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated,
Regards,
Beardsy,
