    DF175 Suzuki quit when coming off step...

    ...and into the harbor. It was running fine, but as I back the throttle down (nice and slow) and got just above idle, I heard a single beep, and by the time I looked down the engine was off and the gauges were blank. No electrical power at all. Even the trim wouldn't work. I had to drop the...

    9.9 Honda Carb Cleaning?

    Gents,<br /><br />I've got a Honda 9.9 4 stroke which won't idle. It will start and run at high rpms with the choke fully engaged. But, when I push in the choke, it dies.<br /><br />After searching the archive here, I believe it's a dirty carb problem. I took it apart and cleaned out a bunch...

    130hp Honda secondary fuel filters?

    Gents,<br /><br />My 1997 130hp 4stroke is running a bit rough at idle and slightly above (I notice a shake while at slow speed in the harbor.) I've recently tuned it up, basically changing the plugs and Racor fuel filter. I suspect there may be gunk in some of the fuel filters located under...

    130hp Honda Lower Unit Servicing...

    Gents,<br /><br />I drained my lower unit oil a couple weeks back, and noticed some 'milkyness' to the oil color, but not too bad. I just drained it again tonight, after putting on about 20 hours, and it's gotten worse. Darn near pure 'eggnog' this time around.<br /><br />I was planning on...

    Honda 130 smoking...

    Gents,<br /><br />My boat (22' aluminum approx 3500lbs) was loaded down today pretty heavy today and I noticed that my engine had exhaust smoke, or steam, blowing around down low, at the upper part of the lower unit. Kind of where the lower unit meets the engine cowling.<br /><br />There was...

    No green oil light on my Honda 9.9

    Gents,<br /><br />Sure glad I found this forum, as I have lot's of Honda questions! :) <br /><br />Anyhow, I went down and started my Honda 9.9 4 stroke kicker (1999 year, I believe) and it ran okay, but I noticed the green oil pressure light wasn't illuminated.<br /><br />I shut it down...

    About that honda recall?...

    Gents,<br /><br />Thanks for the great board! I'm new to both this board and Honda outboards. My previous experience was all in Volvo Penta I/O's.<br /><br />Anyhow, I recently bought a boat with a 130hp Honda 4stroke which has put on the boat in 1998.<br /><br />Should I contact Honda, or am...
