    Honda BFP60A will not exceed 3800 rpm

    Got the injectors back. Report from the mechanic was that one had a horrible spray pattern. After cleaning them, they flowed and sprayed correctly. He said he didn’t think the improper spray pattern was enough to cause the rpm limiting I’m seeing. He didn’t have Any suggestions as to what to...

    Honda BFP60A will not exceed 3800 rpm

    That’s what I was leaning towards. I don’t have a whole lot of experience with marine engines in general, but I always assumed that you wanted a load on them when shifting. Thus I never do it out of water. I’m open to whatever opinions or experience is out there. It would be a way to...

    Honda BFP60A will not exceed 3800 rpm

    I have not tried that. Is it ok to remove the prop and put it in gear on a water hose? I ended up pulling the injectors and taking them to a guy to be cleaned and flow tested. Initial report from him is that one of them wasn’t acting right. He was going to reclean them and I should have them...

    Honda BFP60A will not exceed 3800 rpm

    Just got back from a test ride and it runs exactly the same, 3800 rpm Max. I could not find anything about a feedback loop on the trim limiting rpm. I ran another compression test and it was all good. It starts and idles good, when I put it in gear it seems to vibrate more than I would like...

    I opened up the separator tonight and the grommet seemed to be jammed in on one side and there were a few splits in the wide part. towards the pump. i ordered a new Honda Pump and Grommet, and will report back after install and test ride.

    Honda BFP60A will not exceed 3800 rpm

    No difference after the filter change. Engine ran about 3800 rpm flat out with 6 people on board, 15 mph. I used a stethoscope to check the injectors while idleing, and they all sounded like they were working. Back to the drawing board.

    I reply back when I’ve had a chance to test it. Memorial Day may be the opportunity.

    Honda BFP60A will not exceed 3800 rpm

    And just a note on the speed of the boat, we’ve had 4 people on board, and at 3800 rpm we were at 17 mph on the gps. So 20 mph at 5800 rpm, sounds completely doable. Not so much looking for speed , just getting the engine running correct.

    Honda BFP60A will not exceed 3800 rpm

    I pulled the high pressure filter out of the vapor separator last night, and it was the dirtiest filter I’ve ever changed in my life. So hopefully that may be the issue, it’s the first thing I’ve found that could possibly be a cause, everything else checks good. I haven’t had the separator...

    Honda BFP60A will not exceed 3800 rpm

    Thanks for working the calculation out. I looked at quite a few of those prop calculators, including the Honda one but couldn’t find the answer I was looking for. Yeah I’m perplexed as well. I’m going to change all of the fuel filters when they get here, and I’ll report back if that changes...

    Honda BFP60A will not exceed 3800 rpm

    I believe they have upgraded and sold all of their old inventory. But I do understand that this boat is a big boat for only a 60hp, it almost kept me from buying it. But I’m not really looking for speed, just want the motor to reach its cruising rpm. The prop is a stainless Honda prop 3x14x11...

    The engine is located on a 25' pontoon.. I purchased it during the winter from a rental company. I did not take a test ride due to the weather at the time. just ran the boat on the hose and it sounded great. after taking the boat out a few times, it will not accelerate past 3800 rpm. The...

    Outboard running erratically when at an angle.

    I have a 1974 Johnson 50 HP esl. I purchased the boat about 2 months ago and it hadn’t been run in about 15 years. Pulled the carbs and cleaned them. Got it running initially, but then it started running rough at idle. Determined one of the cylinders wasn’t firing during idle. Ran a...

    1974 Johnson 50 hp telltale

    Finally got around to putting the boat in the water, and I immediately noticed I couldn’t see any telltale hole of water anywhere. I knew when I ran it in the muff that I had seen the stream of water. Most of the lower unit was submerged but there appeared to be water and exhaust coming out of...

    1974 Johnson 50 hp lower unit

    I recently acquired a 74 Johnson 50 hp model # 50ESL74M. The engine will start and run, but the propeller shaft is frozen, and there was no gear lube in the bottom end. I removed the prop, and have been trying to remove the bearing support, but it seems to have welded itself in the housing...

    Mercruiser 5.0 overheating

    I have a 94 Sea ray 200 Signature, and for the last 17 years the boat has been predominately in salt water. The engine block was changed approx 5-6 years ago when it was inadvertently ran out of oil, due to a loose oil filter(ugh). I've had overheating issues in the past (pre engine change)...
