About LinkBacksI recently purchased a Harris Kayot 24ft cruiser pontoon and it has a 1999 Honda 50 4-stroke on it. I had it serviced and they said it was in great condition but it idles rough and they told me that the carbs need rebuilt and re-synced and they want to charge $1,000 to do it. Does that cost seem reasonable for a rebuild and sync? I am not mechanical so I'm not looking to do it myself but I don't want to be taken advantage of.

Re: Cost to rebuild and sync Honda 50 4-stroke carburetor
Three hour job and maybe $180 in parts...So that's double what they should be charging you. Were you lighting your cigar with hundred dollar bills while you where talking to them

My answers are like Zen...It may not be the answer you want, but it is generally the answer you need.
The 3 Rules:
1) Look in your service manual first...Then ask me if it is correct.
2) Understand that your desire to repair your engine does not mean that you have the ability to do so.
3) If you are confused, take your engine into a dealer..Then let them be confused...At least, in theory, they sent someone to outboard 101.
