    Please help... its not the carbs 2007BF30

    Just wrap up this thread. There were 2 things wrong with the BF30. The temp sensor was bad. Even though all the common volt meter test said it wasn't. i finally replaced it this week and the boat no longer stalls after a minute. The second thing was the idle jets in 2 carbs. Even though...

    2017 Honda BF60 Temp alarm

    I am following your thread with interest. i have a thread going here on my bf30. My motor will not run for more than a minute with the temp sensor plugged in. I have tested the sensor, thermostat and all connections to cdi. I am currently waiting on a new sensor. i had this issue occur...

    So my next question is do i risk messing with those caps or just adjust to the best option with them in place. Which allows me less than 1/4 turn of adjustment. i would like to settle that before i do the balancing. moving them within the limit cap allowance make little difference if any...

    Vacuum gauge ordered. My honda carb manual says 3 turns for the bf30. Do you recommend i remove the limit caps to check them prior to the balancing? if so heat is the secret?

    Mr Ian you are correct. (again) I switched the coils around to check them. But number one was still the bad one. So then i started to consider your thoughts on fuel delivery. And then i got a call that my idle jets were in. So i put new jets in 1 and 2 and the difference is major. She's not...

    Ok The cooling system has had a full service. Now she pees like a race horse. I have discovered that she is running on 2 cylinders at the most. i made a video but its too big to upload. Its basically running on cylinder 3. Not at all on cylinder 1 and only partially on cylinder 2. That is to...

    Question on the internal waterways: if i plug a hose into the wash plug and pump water in should it reach the motor? I did this with the water jacket off and no water was present in the motor from the hose below. I did also run water directly into the thermostat orifice and that water did...

    update: With the temp sensor disconnect she does not stall. So i believe it is the cdi causing that. Maybe for good reason. Ive been running this thing on earmuffs that don't seal super well. The water coming out of the pee hole has always been underwelming. sometimes ill put a wire up there...

    The more i think about it, the more it makes sense to me that my motor is in protection mode. It start instantly but stalls with the same consistency. When i pull the plugs they are black which seems consistent with the cdi limiting spark despite all my encouragement. By disconnecting the temp...

    By choke i meant fast idle (partial throttle) at the control box. It electric start with power trim. While i had the bystarter off, i just hooked a 12v battery to it and it warmed and extended around 3mm (1/8") in a few minutes. ill try the suggestion regarding the temp sensor. Can anyone...

    Do CDI's weaken? i thought they worked or they didnt? i have been checking grounds etc. Ill try to find that one. BTW checked the carbs again. all clear. The floats float and move freely.

    i've checked every electrical connection now. It starts up everytime. But only half choke. Will idle there for about a minute then stalls. Happy to fire up again immediately to do the same thing. I half to revisit fueling because there seems to be not much else. If i disconnect the linkage and...

    i believe i have confirmed timing is correct. By way of the alignment shown in the photos. Also confirmed no.1 piston is at top.

    Does anyone happen to have instructions for timing alignment for a bf30? i see all the marks but i am unsure what is my landmark for the flywheel T.

    Thanks for the excellent feedback. i am confident all tubing was replaced correctly. I also ordered the idle jets as a precaution. Today i will confirm the timing by marks and i will manually add fuel while it runs to see if it alters the pattern.
