    1998 BF75 water indicator keeps plugging I think

    A 75. I have cleaned the tube back to the engine nipple and also ran something through the nipple a couple days before this event. Did get some calcium pebbles out. when cleaning up originally the head was so clogged it is highly unlikely I got all of it out. One section was so compacted that...

    1998 BF75 water indicator keeps plugging I think

    I had a post a long while ago. I had picked up a 98 BF75. Long story short the cylinder cooling and head cooling had sand and such in them. The block cleaned up very easily but the head took much surgery to get it opened up but I did get it. after all of this I never overheat but pee hole...

    BF75 cold blooded

    Got an older carb'd BF75 that I brought back to life that is a bit cold blooded. Symptoms are when first put in the water it starts best by having the throttle up a bit and then you have to leave choke on for a few minutes. Run's great once warmed up. If out fishing and shut the motor off, if...

    BF75 shifting dilemma-suggestions

    I have an older BF75 that I picked up and brought back to life. One thing is bugging me related to shifting. I have the service manual and believe I followed it to a tee related to both the engine and remote rigging. When coming from forward to neutral I have to go ever so slightly over the...

    Any ideas on where to find an older BF75 water jacket cover

    Had a few other posts going and successfully got a 1998 BF75 running well. It had been neglected relative to living in saltwater and was not flushed, probably ever and was full of sand/dirt. The water jacket area on both sides of the thermostat were corroded. I built back up with JB weld but...

    Starting question on a 98 BF75

    Got a couple of other threads going working through various items. Got a 98 BF75, low hours that needed some TLC. After going through things I ran it on a stand. Was not fun getting it started and chalked it up that I had drained the carbs and the fact that it had been sitting for a while...

    Water indicator……kind of a weird one. Input?

    Picked up a 98 BF75 with low hours. Knowing the owner reported low flow on water indicator after 10 mins I was in for a bit of a gamble but the price was right. The engine was used to get back and forth from sail boat and was saltwater. It lacked care and I basically cleaned and replaced a lot...

    Flush port fitting size

    Does anyone know what the fitting/thread size is on the flush port for an older Honda BF75?. I could buy one or obviously use muffs but I am in the process of trying to get a 98 up and running and plan on doing a neutra salt Anne sump pump flushing procedure for several hours to see how much...

    New to group looking for help with a couple of items

    Just picked up a 98 BF75 AW series motor. Had a water flow issue….I think. Replacing quite a few parts related to buildup in the water jacket area. Borescoped the cooling ports in head and cylinder block and all generally looks well other than it needs a good flushing. The water jacket had...
