    Honda BF15 dies at 5 minutes at idle

    I have a Honda BF15 that starts and runs absolutely fine. The only time I have a problem is when it is sat at idle for 5 mins or so when the motor coughs a few times and then dies (this can be either in neutral or running in gear at minimum revs). If i give the in line fuel bulb a few pumps the...

    Just wondering if anyone can help. I've just bought the above motor - it is a twin cylinder points ignition motor which currently has a toggle switch installed at the front in order to stop the engine (with four wires attached - running from each condenser to each secondary coil).

    Charging 7ah battery from Honda 15hp

    I am thinking of buying a 12v deep cycle 7ah battery in order to provide power for my Bravo BP12 electric pump. I am wondering whether this can be charged from my Honda BF15 engine? It says 12v 6A from the output - I am wondering whether this will be too much for such a small battery. Many...

    1981 Yamaha 9.9/15hp deceleration problems

    I have a 1981 Yamaha 9.9hp (two stroke) that has been upgraded to a 15hp. The motor will accelerate with no issues, I can accelerate as slowly or fast as I like and up to about 90% of WOT I can decelerate smoothly again as fast or slow as I like. However, if I take the motor to WOT it will...

    Honda BF5 (2006) Stiff Gear Shift

    I have owned this outboard for about 18 months and the gear shift has always been reasonably stiff, but when I took it out last week it had become so stiff that I had to use two hands to get it in and out of gear. I was worried that I may have a problem with the gear case so I disconnected the...

    Which Spark Plug

    I have a 1979 4hp Evinrude outboard. Model number 49B36D (I think its European hence the problems!). It currently has NGK spark plugs B6HS. Reading through a few threads it looks like it might run better with Champion plugs - but I'm not quite sure which ones to get. Any help would be...

    No Spark!!!

    I recently purchased a secondhand 4hp 1979 Evinrude Motor (49B36D - I think its a European model). When I bought the motor it wasn't working - but soon started after a good carb clean. Today I decided to replace the HT leads (even though it was working fine) as one of them had been patched...

    Struggling to identify new motor

    I have just bought a outboard from ebay which has the model number 49B36D. From a brief bit of research I believe this is a 4hp 1979 Evinrude motor. It is currently not running and I think I'm going to need to replace a few parts, and am struggling to find this model listed anywhere. The only...

    Evinrude 2hp E2RCTD

    I have just got my 2hp outboard out of the garage as spring is now officially here. Initially it failed to start, but after giving the carb a clean it seems to be working okay. The only issue I seem to have is that I cannot move the throttle below the T of start without the engine cutting out...

    Replacing Gear Oil Evinrude E2RCTD

    I am just in the process of changing the gear oil on the above outboard. I have undone the plug to let the old oil out - but can't seem to find a vent anywhere. Does this motor have a vent? If not, how do I ensure that I have fully filled with oil? Many Thanks in advance.

    2hp Evinrude ? electrical problem

    I have a 1983 2hp Evinrude outboard (E2RCTD). It was running beautifully 2 weeks ago. I took it out this afternoon to turn it over and check it was running okay for this weekend. It failed to start. On checking the spark plug, it was only sparking occasionally. I checked the points and...

    Evinrude 2hp Air intake filter

    I have recently introduced myself to the world of outboard motors by buying a secondhand Evinrude (E2RCTD). After a few teething problems, this is now running nicely. Does anyone know if this is supposed to have any kind of air intake filter - and if so, where can I get hold of one.

    1983 Evinrude 2hp not starting

    I have recently introduced myself to the world of outboard motors by buying a secondhand Evinrude (E2RCTD). This worked beautifully in the dustbin running for about 15 minutes before getting a bit hot and stopping (I put this down to the lack of flowing water coming into the impeller). A few...
