I needed a small trolling motor for my lake boat so a friend of mine from work told me he has a 7.5 HP Honda four stroke that I can use if I can get it going.
It has sat for the past 2 years in his garage and he is just not using it, well I picked it up today and did manage to get it going, changed engine oil, leg oil and 2 new plugs, tweaked the carb and did a general all purpose service to it.
It runs very smooth and quite but the only problem is that there is very little water coming out of the tell-tale unless I rev it up, and reving it up to get a good flow of water defeats the purpose of having the motor for trolling.
I disconnected the lines and blew them out and there does not seem to be any blockage or obstruction, so I am thinking that the impeller is pooched, but I really do not know.
My friend bought the motor 3 years ago as a used motor and only ran it for one year before shelving it, he does not know what year it is but thinks an 81 or 82. I can not find where the impeller is on this motor and do not want to start tearing into it without some more information.
So if anybody has a repair manual for this particular motor and can check a few things for me I would really appreciate it, or if you have a good working knowledge of this kind of motor that you are willing to share that will also be much appreciated.
1981 or 1982 Honda 7.5 HP Four stroke outboard, runs very well but not much water coming out of the tell-tale unless you really rev it up and just a very few dribbles at idle in gear or in neutral.
If you can help me, thank you very much in advance.
I am new to this board and really have no working knowledge of this Honda 7.5 that I now have, so once again I would like to thank you in advance for any help you can give me so I can get this motor working correctly so i can take my grandkids fishing.
