    1999 130hp spark plugs

    Just to update my post regarding valve adjustment, they were all tight to spec. I only adjusted them this week, haven’t started it yet this year, slow getting the boat in the water this year. Am now motivated, it was 36.5C/98F here yesterday in Mahone Bay, NS.

    BF 50 runs very uneven

    Get a thermostat, check the old one, it may be stuck partially closed and really ugly, get several new gaskets too. You can use the spare gaskets to check the thermostat in future. Only flush the outboard in a barrel, these Hondas don’t like the muffs. Do the vinegar flush with the thermostat...

    Honda BF130 starts then dies multiple times before running warm or cold

    Has it been run a lot trolling at low idle? If yes, I’d run a load of sea foam through it regularly to clean out the valves of varnish. Run it on a small portable tank if your boat has a large fuel tank. Use a high octane fuel and run it a bunch at rpm’s above 3500. See if anything changes and...

    Honda BF25 stalling

    Run a load of Sea Foam through it, under load is best. It cleans out the fuel system of varnish/gunk. You changed plugs, did the old ones look normal?

    Running issue with 2008 BF225 with 1000 hours.

    My 1999 130 has been very sensitive to an overheat alarm at cold startup after I did a major vinegar flush. A small chunk of salt seemed to appear and trigger an alarm. Most times on restart, it worked fine, sometimes I had to clear the telltale outlet of a small chunk. The issue went away after...

    How clean or dirty was the thermostat when you changes it?

    Honda 5HP (BF5A) Leaking Oil When Tilted

    If you lay any 4 stroke down on the wrong side, motor oil leaks out. It may say on the side of the OB which side is up, as Marc said, if not check your owner’s manual. Usually the side with the control arm goes up iirc.

    BF115A Honda 115 Four Stroke Stuttering/Cutting Out At High RPM

    And I just remembered there is one available with a clear bottom in the screw on filter, you can see the dirt or water without removing the filter.

    BF115A Honda 115 Four Stroke Stuttering/Cutting Out At High RPM

    Do you have a fuel water separator spin on filter for the tank? Get one if you don’t. Dump that into a clear plastic bottle and let it settle out, check for dirt.

    BF115A Honda 115 Four Stroke Stuttering/Cutting Out At High RPM

    Sounds like a fuel restriction is the first thing to check. What year is this 115? The 1998 to about 2004ish are different technology than later 115’s. The older units usually came with a sticker saying they meet 2006 emissions, that factory sticker is on my 1999. Check and or change all...

    BF20D still struggles to start.

    Good advice to keep the old one and all the parts and good job figuring it out and posting the solution here. I worked on a friends 9.9 Yamaha 2 stroke, needed some small carb parts, found a carb on Amazon for $17. I didn’t bother using the new Chinese carb, just used the parts off it that I...
