    20 HP 4 stroke Honda WOT problem

    I overheated the motor; engine died. I changed waterpump impeller and now cooling's ok, motor works at mid range fineq oil is clear but it won't work at full power: I think there could be an activated overheat protection which limits WOT operation which should be reset; if so, how can I do it...

    1982 90 hp Johnson

    I apologise for the question but out of curiosity I would like to know is there an extra credit or some bonus for a reply "it's in the manual, don't waste our time"; or it's similar to a pointed finger at a guy asking for a free ride? This reply always made me feel guilty for not being able to...

    Blown power packs

    Can cranking with disconnected spark plugs damage power packs and can blown power packs by inductivity influence readings on tacho? Motor charging - 13.75 V at low RPM - rectifier and regulator and stator o.k. Tacho worked fine on 2 and 3 cylinder engines - switched to 4 shows double r.p.m...

    Do spark plugs light twice in a stroke of each piston? There are 2 magnets on flywheel for the timing base at 180 degrees and two or four sensors at 90 degrees in a four cyl engine. This shows one magnet passes sensor twice per 1 rpm - 1 stroke and spark plug fires twice or there is a counter...

    V-4 90 hp 1982 serious ignition trouble

    I recently purchased a motor, checked up all mechanics and tested it on the boat. It knocks slightly when idling: knocking increases under load, it didn't have power. There are no adjustment screws on the carbs so I tried timing. I couldn't reduce RPM lower than 1300, when throttling knocking...

    1982 V-4 90 hp silencer

    Out of curiosity I am asking why they put 8 bolts on the silencer cover. Can't figure it out; for sound effect, or to complicate removal; 4 bolts too many; these in the middle?
