    BF 9.9 Dies soon after starting

    Are the 23°C lower and 60°C upper temperature readings being seen as the engine rpm drops? It does appear that it might be going into "limp" or "guardian" mode but your temperature testing would not seem to actually support that conclusion. 23°C (74°f) is very low and 60°C (140°f) is near...

    BF 9.9 Dies soon after starting

    Only the remote equipped 9.9D outboards have the buzzer I believe. You might try running it BRIEFLY with the wire for the temperature sensor disconnected to see if anything changes. DON'T FORGET to put it back. That sensor is the engines lifesaver. The impeller should easily last longer than...

    2006 BF90A BUZZER and limp mode

    I'm no 90hp tech. Never touched one. In case you haven't fixed yours yet though just wanted to toss this out. I really have no idea why but I have read a few times about the relief valve (item 4 in link) will cause cooling issues and I seem to recall it can also cause the alarm...

    BF75A Obstruction in Cooling System?

    I've already said my piece. While I'm no guru for this outboard... ...never worked on a 75hp... ...just pointing out that the tell-tale bypass is the FIRST passage that gets water after leaving the pump. A good pee stream really means NOTHING to cooling other than to indicate the pump is...

    Honda BF50a Tell Tale Diagram

    Hi gashby, (I had to correct stupid AI from calling you "dashboard") You didn't say what year your 50A outboards are so I selected 2007 and newer parts pages for reference. Did the larger tube come with a fitting with a larger nipple that screws into the block? (Item 9 in link below)...

    BF75A Obstruction in Cooling System?

    No, there isn't. Trying to flush the cooling system through the exhaust system would probably end up with flush water entering one or more cylinders and, ultimately, going into the crankcase. Not something you would want to happen. Exhaust gasses exit the cylinder head via a single pipe (see...

    BF 9.9 Dies soon after starting

    You don't list year or if it's an A or D model. That might help. If it's a D model, does it have a manual or auto choke? But FIRST thing to check for this is the fuel tank vent. If it's not open all the way or is partially clogged, this is the classic symptom. If you're not sure about if...

    Can't find a fuel line connector that doesn't leak

    Check the female connector for a missing or damaged Oring. It should sit in a slot near the opening of the connector. Good luck.

    Honda bf90 2002 vacuüm hoses not completely present?

    Hi siscoken, I believe he was asking about the hoses and "T" type fittings under the muffler but I think we were able to answer the question using the parts page diagram. I'm not sure Teus needs a photo now. Thank you for offering to do that though and we'll see what he says.

    BF75A Obstruction in Cooling System?

    Yes, probably many hours and mineral buildup too. Especially if it did most of it's work in salt water. I don't want to be the bearer of bad tidings but you may be in for some unpleasant disassembly to look for that blockage. A task that you will  not want to be doing while in or over the...

    BF75A Obstruction in Cooling System?

    Hi Dterch, I would advise testing or replacing the tstat before assuming a blockage is causing the problem. It could be as simple as the stat is stuck closed. A pot of water heated on the stove is all you would need in order to determine if the stat opens or is stuck closed. If you have a...

    Honda bf90 2002 vacuüm hoses not completely present?

    Hi Teus, The link to your photo wouldn't open so I can't comment on that. I don't know why the drains for the muffler would affect the idle like that but I will try to keep that in mind as a troubleshooting tip for these outboards. I suspect it may have a connection to the high engine vacuum...

    Honda bf90 2002 vacuüm hoses not completely present?

    Hi, Does the arrangement for items 17, 20 and 21 in the link below look similar? https://www.boats.net/catalog/honda/outboard/2002/90hp/bf90a2-lrta-vin-bbbl-4410001-to-bbbl-4499999/muffler-cover The original hoses would have been of clear vinyl but may have since been replaced by vacuum hose...

    Prop Recommendations for a 2006 225 on 22’ Outrage

    Hi, I'm certainly no "propping guru" but that sounds almost perfect to me. Particularly when you say absolute top speed isn't something you often want/need. I do recall reading that the sweet spot of that engine's "power band" is right at 5500 and "experts" (ex-spurts?) recommend 5800 to 6000...
