    1988 125 HP Force Rebuild

    I think I just figured out what you mean by stickys. I found the sticky from Frank Acampora about syncing the car s and timing.

    1988 Bayliner Capri restoration, parts needed

    Yeah, there's nothing for id on the good parts I have. Was hoping someone already went down this rabbit hole and would be willing to share sourcing info. Thank you

    1988 Bayliner Capri restoration, parts needed

    I'm in the process of mostly restoring my 1988 18' Bayliner. I am missing a few parts for the removable soft top/enclosure. 2 of the 4 anchors for the frame of the top are broken, need replaced, but don't have a clue as to where to begin my search. Please see attached pic of the part(s) I'm...

    BF75S Honda 7.5 HP won't idle suddenly

    Yeah, mine doesn't have the connected hose. I can still use this option if the dock is busy thus being impractical to run the carb empty at the dock. Good suggestion, thanks.

    I pulled the carb and cleaned it thoroughly and also switched to rec gas, no more ethanol. She's purring like a kitten again.

    Fiberglass Hull Restoration

    Well now, that was a lot of elbow grease, I had no clue I had that much elbow grease in me, Lol. I finished the wet sanding yesterday and a lot of buffing today. All oxidation is gone and looking pretty shiny and colorful now. Still need to wax and buff again and again.

    What does this additive do?

    BF75S Honda 7.5 HP won't idle suddenly

    I do this all the time with my other small engines, but I never thought to do so with my outboard motors, primarily because I would want to do this at the dock before taking the boat out of the water. I'll just need to work on making it habit doing so. Thanks

    BF75S Honda 7.5 HP won't idle suddenly

    Last year my new to me Honda 7.5 HP 4 stroke motor ran perfectly at all ranges of speed including idling in gear as well as in neutral. Yesterday was my first time using this motor this year and it runs great at higher rpm's but as soon as I slow it down to shift into gear it stalls. Could this...

    Ok, thanks for the tip, Nordin. I will check that out before I try to adjust anything.

    Alrighty, thanks again, Mc. I really appreciate it. I just watched a video on YouTube about it too. I never realized just how much info you can find on YouTube, amazing source.

    1988 125 HP Force Rebuild

    Lol, I'm climbing that hill now. I've spent a pretty good chunk of change on this motor already and I know for a fact I'm not done. New used cylinder block as well as inspection and rigid honing, new pistons, wrist pins, rings, complete gasket kit, and the list goes on. Cha ching

    1988 125 HP Force Rebuild

    I'm not sure how to change the timing. I didn't adjust any linkage of anything. Is this where timing is adjusted, in pic? This is the first outboard motor I've ever worked on, so I'm kinda clueless with some things. I've rebuilt Chevy 350 motors, motorcycle motors, small engines for lawn mowers...
