Wow, it's been so long since I posted myself. I can see why you had trouble. But, I fumbled around and figured out at least one way to post a new thread.
Here goes:
Of course, make sure that you're logged in.
Press the FORUM HOME button at the top of the page.
When the home screen comes up, scroll down to the HONDA OUTBOARD button. It has has an illustration of a Honda outboard.
When the Honda forum screen comes up, look for the POST NEW THREAD button a couple of inches down and well to the left.
When the new thread screen comes up, it's basically fill in the blanks
Make sure your heading or title is decriptive of the problem. Something like;
BF5A Hard To Start After Long Run
Then put in as much info as you can. Include your frame number if you have it and all the symptoms you experience. Make sure to list any remedies you have already tried and any parts you have replaced.
It may take a couple of days for some of the guys to develop some ideas for you so please be patient. But if you aren't getting any, keep your post current by "bumping" it once in a while. A simple Anybody??? Should do it unless you have info to ad like compression test results or valve clearance adjustment.
Good luck and sorry for taking so long to get back to you.
