      Can't remember if I put a head gasket in this one or not. I can check compression. It starts easy with one pull every time, so I doubt...

      I got the coils adjusted so they aren't rubbing anymore, and the spark advance doesn't jump around like it did. I got the impeller...

      That "alternative" pinion gear is from a 2hp with an 11mm shaft. The 15 has a 15mm shaft. It won't work.

      I don't know if I trust google on this one. This alternative pinion is from a 2hp engine. I'll check with the local Honda dealer and see...

      I cannot find this extended Honda model number anywhere on the motor. All it has is BF15A, but not the rest of the identifiers. I think...

      Just brought home this 15. Seller said it was a 2006, but that's because it says 2006 on the emissions sticker on the cowling. Looking...

      Thank you. I'll try that.

      Yep, that'll do it. Didn't realize you have to remove the powerhead to get the lower unit off. Guess I'm in for some new seals and...

      I have a CD-12 that I am working on and have a few problems to figure out. One of them that I think is serious is the way the spark...

      I have a 2 line tank that I rebuilt for my 5.5 (it still leaks anyway) but if I get this motor running, I will add a fuel pump to it.

      I got it apart. The top cylinder looks much worse than the bottom. I'll get big bucket of solvent or parts cleaner and dunk everything...

      I'm hopeful it's just cosmetic and it will clean up. If not, I can make my money back just by selling the electric starter. I have a 5...

      Spent a little more time on it today. The lower shifts correctly. Next step is get the magneto off the top and split the case. Not too...

      Location is Texas. If it turns out to be a mess, I don't know if I will rebuild or part it out. Haven't decided yet. Don't see very many...

      Just remembered this model usually has the bad seal, so I will have to tear it all the way down anyway.
