I have what I believe is a 1997 Honda BF50A that I bought with my pontoon boat this summer. The engine has zero idle so I am going to take the carbs off and clean them and hope I can get a idle. I am not worried at all about the carb cleaning I am just wondering about sync the carbs. I know I need to get a vacuum gauge (Right?) and plug into the spark plug ports. But how do I adjust the carbs to align them?
Do you guys have a recommendation for a compression tester/vacuum gauge? Are they the same thing?
The boat was sitting for 3 years without any work done on it or ran so I plan to replace the spark plugs, oil/filter, fuel filter, fuel hose assembly, and the water pump. Do you guys have any other suggestions I should look at?
Does anyone have the part numbers for the gaskets for the carbs to replace also? Thank you a ton for all the help.
I am also having a leak I believe from my engine coming out and turning the water a rainbow color. Does anyone know what this could be? I am assuming its a gas leak from somewhere.
Thank you for the help. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated. Pictures are also awesome. Thank you!
