    I'm getting frustrated. Hard Start.

    Back again. Bought just a cheap aftermarket starter and it worked flawlessly for a few months. I mean flawlessly as in tap the key and vroom. Now back to cranking a good 6 seconds than key off, restart and it will stumble to life. Once it clears (about 20 seconds). I can turn it off and...

    I'm getting frustrated. Hard Start.

    You’re talking the battery isolators? As in what keeps the battery's separate from draining one another? There is a battery isolator in the boat. but i think the power lead goes right to the on / off switch for both of them. I think the wire was built together like a speaker wire but one larger...

    Honda 225 Outboard Ignition Issues - Won't Start

    I think what was happening is the small terminal that triggers the starter to spin was drawing too much power. My guess is because of this small wire drawing too much, it than in turn did not have enough power to run the ECM or give enough power to the coils to make good spark. Again, im no...

    I'm getting frustrated. Hard Start.

    Thanks so much for the replies! I have not turned it on and off 4 times, but have done it twice than start, no good. Huh, I have never thought of an 02 Sensor for starting, could try it. Odd, so the other day I ordered a new HP filter. It got caught up in the mail and I got impatient so...

    2009 Honda BF200 oil weep hole?

    Thanks again! You have been very helpful! It's been about 2 years and I am literally only going off your direction and you have been right every step so far. In Michigan Honda outboards are far and few between and really only a small amount of Honda dealers. I've been on a waiting list for...

    2009 Honda BF200 oil weep hole?

    Thanks so much for the reply! I'll pull the starter when I get back to the boat. Looking at the diagram this is where the oil filter goes as well as the oil fill. There's not supposed to be oil back there?
