    I have a 2006 Honda outboard BF20D6 serial BAMJ 1301660. I purchased the motor used in 2010. It never ran very well, I had to be careful how much throttle I gave or it would die out.

    honda 20hp 4 stroke 2007

    This little kicker will start on the first pull everytime, but as soon as you give it throttle, dead. If I throttle up slow, I can keep it running at about 10% throttle long enough to get my 19ft skiff back to the ramp (ask me how I know). This motor was run on ethanol gas until I purchased it 1...

    The impeller has never been changed on this engine, so I was told by the previous owner. The stream always seemed weak to me, and I think I am overdue for a change anyhow. Any suggestions? I am not familiar with taking off the lower unit, and I would like to know of anything to look out...
