    Honda bf50 spark and carb issues

    I used descaler from West Marine and with the foot off I used a bilge pump connected to the water inlet. Put the descaler in a big bucket and circulated the solution through the motor for about an hour with it peeing back into the bucket. Put a screen mesh with a rubber band around the bilge...

    Honda bf50 spark and carb issues

    Finally can get some work in this week. Today I’ll be attempting to descale the internal water passages. I already have the foot removed. So I’ll be using a large container to hold up to 5 gallons of the descaler. A sump pump with tubing to connect it to the inlet pipe. I already have a larger...

    Also I never ran it long enough to get an over heating alarm

    Also the next time I actually run it will be in a large trash can filled with water. I won’t be using the adapter or muffs and it ensures that the foot is sitting/and getting enough water

    Honda bf50 spark and carb issues

    My new impeller is the wrong one so waiting on the other new one. Other then that I’ll take the advice given on here. Sea rider: I have not taken the crank case apart. I started to see if I could loosen some bolts and they seem pretty stuck at the moment. Tearing it down will be my last option...

    Honda bf50 spark and carb issues

    I installed a new impeller when I got the boat. It was kinda peeing (what’s the proper word for the motor to pee?) at that point. Did the whole carb rebuild and clean. During that point saw crust in the water jackets when intake was removed. Used air compressor to blow it out. On my second...

    When I re did the carbs and took the intake manifold off, there was salt in the water jackets. I took air and tried to clear all the ports I could. Just wanna mention that

    Honda bf50 spark and carb issues

    I am inexperienced with boat motors. This it my first one but I am mechanically inclined in most aspects of cars and motorcycles. I did my due diligence of research before even attempting to start this motor. But information is vast and opinions vary on forums about how people usually maintain...

    Ah okay thanks MattFL

    Honda bf50 spark and carb issues

    Alright thanks. When I get it back together I’ll take the advice of just putting the motor in a large trash can and count hose water pressure out of the equation. Sea Rider: it was used in both fresh and salt water. What do you mean by “count”? I’ll check to see if there is a port on the power head

    Honda bf50 spark and carb issues

    Okay so this one is possibly my fault. When I started repairing this motor one of the first things I did was replace the impeller. It was pissing fine after that. I’ve been using the lower leg flush port adapter since. I read on another forum that it was better then muffs. But I’ll go back to...
