    Need 10+ pull in warm start-Honda BF15 outboard motor

    Thank you so much, jgmo. I will definitely replace the "bystarter" choke #11 and its cable #17. Just one more question, if it works well after replacing #11 and #17, as question (3) above, shall I still turn on the choke for the warm start, or leave it off, and let the "bystarter" do its...

    Need 10+ pull in warm start-Honda BF15 outboard motor

    It is 2003 Honda BFD15 carburetor manual outboard motor, I bought it two years ago. It just needs 1 pull for cold start, but it needs more than 10 pulls for warm start. If I unplug the connector from fuel tank 10 seconds before shutting down, it helps less pull for warm start sometimes, but not...

    Honda BF15D, intermittent can't re-start, primer bulb only 80% hard after many squeeze

    As you guys mentioned about vapor lock, what should I do to solve vapor lock? I already drained the fuel chamber, and adjusted the valve clearance adjustment.

    Honda BF15D, intermittent can't re-start, primer bulb only 80% hard after many squeeze

    Hi Jgmo, I eventually made the adjustment on valve clearance based on the instruction from the shop manual this afternoon. Unfortunately the hot start still be hard. The temperature is 12 degree then. I pulled the recoil rope to cold-start with choke closed , just one pull can make it start. I...

    Honda BF15D, intermittent can't re-start, primer bulb only 80% hard after many squeeze

    How do I drain fluid from the fuel chamber? I only know drain fuel from carburetor by adjusting a screw. Is it the same procedure? By the way, since the primer bulb is only 80% hard, can't squeeze it to fully hard, do you think it is something related to fuel pump, which is item #1 in your link...

    Honda BF15D, intermittent can't re-start, primer bulb only 80% hard after many squeeze

    The engine can start from cold crank smoothly in the morning. I turned it off for 5 minutes in the middle of lake. When I wanted to continue cruising, it can't be started for no reason. I noticed that the primer bulb can only be squeeze up to 80% hard, not fully hard as I firstly prime. We...
