    Tachometer recommendation

    If don't want a fancy dial tach which costs way more, a nice alternative would be an induction tach with extended pick up cable.. What's the distance from the motor to the center console ? Happy Boating

    Honda bf50 spark and carb issues

    Yep should have said if had a built in flushing port on the powerhead, which could have been fantastic to flush direct. Don't want to spoil the party, but testing/flushing in a barrel will render the same results as with muffs or lower leg's water port, what's already clogged will remain so...
