    Honda 225 jerking and choppy while trimming down

    My 1999 owners manual specifies the fluid, I don’t worry about the brand. I use the same stuff in my 1963 Pontiac power steering. It’s not a high stress usage.

    Honda BF150 erratic running at high RPM

    20 hours a year since new- how big a fuel tank are you running? Could be an old fuel issue? Did you find anything dirt or water wise in your fuel water separator or the filters you changed?

    Honda 200 HP shuts down after 10 minutes of slow trolling

    The shop manual from Honda may have a good troubleshooting section on this, get the one for your engine.

    Honda BF135a Overheating if we go over 4k RPM

    Have you replaced the water pump recently with a new impeller etc? Is the outboard pumping lots of water through the telltale?

    Honda 225 jerking and choppy while trimming down

    You’ll need the same type oil/fluid the mechanic used to bleed the system, it’s easy to do. I use a long necked oil squirt can and my 1999 Honda calls for the pink power steering fluid, I used a GM spec available just about anywhere. Cycle the engine all the way up, remove fill screw, squirt...

    Running issue with 2008 BF225 with 1000 hours.

    And a valve adjustment may correct the cold idle problem.

    Running issue with 2008 BF225 with 1000 hours.

    I’m not a serious engine rebuilder mechanic, just read stuff that I retain randomly. If you have good compression, but you are burning oil, would a treatment with Yamaha ring free help? Your plugs- are they all similarly appearing, or does the one with a bit lower compression look worse...

    BF90D overheating at WOT

    I find AI is good for common problems with common issues. It’s a generic checklist of things to check. I worked on a Clarke Troller once, nothing in AI for it.😁

    The whaler has wood in there, you cracked that hard.

    BF90D overheating at WOT

    Good use of AI and common sense.

    BF90D overheating at WOT

    I would ignore AI’s solutions, they are very generic and draw from data on many brands of outboard. Your 4 blade prop may be too much “load” for your Honda’s torque curve . Kinda like putting a 35 inch tire on a 4 cylinder 1960 VW.

    Running issue with 2008 BF225 with 1000 hours.

    You can get a uv dye to add to motor oil, antifreeze, etc, wonder if there is one for a fuel leak?

    Honda BF90D 2004 Water Pressure Valve

    I don’t know but a Honda shop manual will tell you how to do this. Buy Honda only for your outboard, not Seloc etc.

    Honda BF25D 2007 Cylinder 3 Issue

    Also, did all fuel filters get changed? If those plugs are that ugly, maybe the filters are ugly too. 10 year old fuel will be very ugly and if the dealer didn’t do new plugs, the filters are suspect.

    Honda BF25D 2007 Cylinder 3 Issue

    Definitely change the plugs and run something like sea foam in the gas, a high dose. Those 2 plugs are badly fouled, your valves and cylinders may have a load of crap too, the sea foam will help clean that out. And adjust the valves as suggested.
