    Something wierd on the thread, took 2 days to post and had to do the quote to finally post the last message. Well, anyway, fixed and done!

    2017 Honda BF60 Temp alarm

    Problem solved! Removed side cover thermostat housing (Thanks iang6766!). Cleaned and flushed. Minor debris came out. Hose flush still not working so I removed the starboard side mid-cowling to gain access to flush tube. Removed tube. Started poking with a stiff weedeater line but would go more...

    Can 2021 Yamaha t9.9 support a remote hour meter?

    I use a little hour meter that has a wire you wrap around the spark plug wire. Mount meter on motor under the cover. Cheap, less than 15.00. Works great for maintenance intervals.

    iang6766, I think you are dead right. I have been wrong diagnosing this problem from the start. I don't like being wrong, but I was. I overlooked the obvious. Worked on motor today. Put new MAP sensor in, no change. Not surprised. Got better angle with laser temp gauge, registered 180, too hot...

    2017 Honda BF60 Temp alarm

    I agree, but you just gotta start somewhere and keep testing until you find something. The sensor may not fix the issue but it may be a step in the right direction to isolating something else. I could not figure how the MAP sensor would trigger the temp warning, more like it should turn on the...

    2017 Honda BF60 Temp alarm

    Got factory manual, went thru several pages of testing. Verified it is a false temp alarm, thermostat housing never got over 140F. Checked codes by shorting diagnostic connector black and lime wires. Cleared codes. Got to MAP Sensor test and it failed. Waiting on new MAP sensor, should have...

    First thing I would do is pull the head and do a visual.

    2003 50 hp Nissan outboard.

    Does this boat plane? Is the top speed the same as it was when you got it or do you notice deterioration in performance? Does it sit in the water or trailer? Also, verify the tach is reading true RPM. Neighbor last week had pontoon reading 3K at idle. Yeah, I knew it was idling around 1K from...

    2003 50 hp Nissan outboard.

    Is this a new to you boat or have you actually seen it do more than 4k rpm? What size pontoon? Is it possible they might have water in them? Is the throttle linkage confirmed to be opening the carbs fully? Can you confirm spark advance is operating properly? Prop size? As mentioned before, lower...

    2017 Honda BF60 Temp alarm

    Thanks. We are both old retired guys and he spent 10 days helping me put a new roof on my place. Least I can do is mow his yard sometimes and try to help out with what I can. He has no trailer so I work on his boat with mine under it. Taking it to a repair shop would be really inconvient. I did...

    2017 Honda BF60 Temp alarm

    Newbie member, just joined the site. Hoping to get some help on neighbor's engine. Pontoon boat with the Honda 60 4 stroke on it, approx 225 hours. Original owner since new. At 3000 RPM or higher, the temp alarm sounds and lights up red. It has the round gauge with the green oil light on...
