    Tilt Trouble BF8

    I think I figured out what is wrong with my tilt. The little pins that join the shaft and cams are rotten through. Any idea on how to replace these? Do I need to get all new shafts and have the shaft ends welded again? Seems involved.

    Replace Water Seal? BF8

    While replacing the impeller, I noticed that the gasket material on top of the water seal was coming off so I removed it. Should I replace the water seal all together? The SELOC manual is silent on the issue. If so, how? I imagine it takes a special tool.

    Yamaha 300 hpdi fuel leak

    Emptied the VST and cleaned and/or changed all of the filters. When I pumped the bulb to fill everything back up, I gave it a good squeeze to make sure. The next time I tilted the motor up, fuel came out of one of the weeps on the lower cowling. Maybe a teaspoon. I thought I might have...

    Need help with no spark

    No spark on an early 90's BF8. I have a Seloc manual and did all of the tests that it recommends. However, it does not have a chart for the BF8 to test the ignition module. It lists all of the other engines. How do I test this? The resistance on the primary side of the coil is about twice...

    How to ID 8 hp Honda year

    I have an 8 hp Honda kicker. I am preparing to replace of bunch of parts, but cannot figure out what year it is. It looks like there is a spot for a serial number tag on the mount, but there is no tag. If the tag is missing, how else can I ID the engine? Thanks.

    2005 Yamaha 300 hpdi will not get above 4100 rpm

    Two weeks ago, at the end of a day-long trip, the engine lost rpms and the boat fell off plane. When I gave it addtional gas to get back up on plane, the rpms would not rise. Turned off, checked prop and no problem. Fired up and was fine. Took out again last night. Fine for 45 minutes or...
