servicing 8 HP Honda

[barryheath]

I would like to be able to print off info on how to remove prop, change impeller, spark plug gap specifications, general servicing of my Honda - change oil and gear oil , etc.
Also, what device does one use to test the impeller when motor is out of the water ? I have a 2 -cup system onto which one can attach a garden hose, but the impeller on the motor is hidden on the lower leg near the prop and the device does not clamp in that area.

Prop removal is easy.Remove the cotter pin in the prop cone and unscrew that cone.There you will see the shear pin and propshaft and hopefully not a big ball of fishing line.Flushing this little critter is a little more dicey.That water pickup is at the front of the exhaust snout and the flushing attachment Honda makes for these units can be confusing but work ok.Changing the gear oil and motor oil is the same as everything else.Nylon seals are 90507 921 000 and you will need 3.

thank you - I presume the nylon seals are for the screws one removes to change gear oil ?
