Hello. I have a 2002 Honda 225 which i have owned for a couple of years now. I have used a couple of Pinellas dealers for service with mixed results. I would appreciate any recommendations on a Honda mechanic that knows what they're doing, is relatively convenient, and not outrageously priced.
This is for annual service, but also for replacement of the mid shaft bushing and exhaust anodes....this motor has been serviced annually since new at various Honda dealers in Florida, but i see nowhere in any repair invoices that the mid shaft bearing has ever been serviced or replaced. I removed the lower cowlings, and i see slight cracking on one side of the area where the bushing would be. It looks much better than some of the ugly pic's i've seen online...i'm hoping the bushing can be replaced without a gigantic repair bill. Wishful thinking?
Thanks for any & all opinions.
