    1996 BF50 Honda Bogging out when trying to plane

    Well Matt…it’s a brand new OEM Honda line and bulb and a brand new tank pickup. Pumping the bulb does nothing and actually maybe even makes it worse (possibly). Can the fuel pump still be bad when pumping the primer has no affect? My theory is the inside of the fuel pump is heavily...

    Allright i did a meticulous carb clean…i mean whole carb in ultrasonic with carb formula multiple times, air compressor, carb cleaner thru all fine circuits multiple times. Covered individual fine holes and flushed thru pilot circuit both ways and confirmed output. All needle jets were...

    Ok guys!!! NO OVERHEAT! Was able to plane and run around the bay for 20 minutes. Was low tide and late but i’m very relieved. The boat ran a little rough at certain throttle levels (mainly 1/3 and WOT) so i had to kind of hunt around but the gas is 6 months old and has been sitting out...

    thanks Matt…hopefully go out this afternoon. I plugged back in the trim box in the back and the trim alarm was buzzing so i don’t understand why the overtemp didn’t buzz. The red light clearly worked. My only guess is that the trim connections disrupted the circuit? So i unplugged just the...

    Look at this from november…I’m at 165 now guys…140 on the lower cylinders. 20 degree drop. It’s going to work. I know it. Overtemp is 190. I was hitting 185 idling…everything is making sense. The second i gave it rpm it was overheating. There may have been something intermittent with the...

    Allright back together…engine runs great. Pee is strong AF. There was like a half inch of sediment at the bottom of the bucket. Pic is what was left after dumping…there was way more looked like a lake bottom. Thermostat housing looks great…confirmed that it opens. Just let run for 20 minutes...

    ok it would have filled the exhaust chamber and tube and without any exhaust pressure would have made its way up to the exhaust valves and which ever one was open during at that point would have made its way on top of the piston and then the slight overlap would have allowed it out the intake...

    I’m fatigued but maybe this wasn’t supposed to happen.

    Ok guys I did 3 hours of flush with some barnacle buster…was the only thing local. Then I mixed 3:1 vinegar and warm water and am doing that night now plan to let it go all night. Here is the problem…i foolishly tried to flush the vinegar solution up the exhaust tube in the lower unit to back...

    I agree Matt. Big dilemma now is that rydlyme says to remove the anodes also. I have brand new gaskets and anodes on both sides and really don’t want to rip into it all until next service interval. I’m just gonna have to leave them in and hope that not too much life is taken off them…even 30%...

    Matt was one bottle of rydlyme enough? I was under the impression it would take 2 or 3 to mix 50/50 in a bucket and have enough to cycle? thanks

    Yes they definitely do have limp mode…in the owners manual it shows how it cuts the power. This was an another clue in hindsight being cut on plane at the same RPM levels. The bogging out off idle and eventually sputtering and dying was do to just pure heat at the end, unfortunately. No...

    Ok guys finally got it out and after new coils (pulsar, stator and ignition) the same thing happened. I was already to day it’s CDI time but looked down and saw the red temp light on!!!! This was in the evening so i was able to see it clearly when i hadn’t in the sun before! No alarm tho...

    I’ve mention this earlier but pulling the middle plug wire doesn’t change the running very much compared to the outer two cylinders. It is more noticeable when i rev the RPM higher tho. Is this just due to the nature of the balance of the engine? Outer cylinders will throw off balance more?

    I started it up…sounds about the same. Water jacket holding great. The top green oil light works. Will sea trial asap

    1996 BF50 Honda Bogging out when trying to plane

    Ok thanks. I’m gonna sea trial the new swaps asap. If it still starts degrading after getting warm i’m gonna need a game plan. At that point it’s either CDI, fuel pump (although i pumped bulb during bogging and didn’t help) or carb/fuel passages (maybe the tiny holes in the throat or the fuel...

    Ok guys haven’t tested the motor yet but i’m confused. Pulled up some old pics and the brand new OEM flywheel (which makes zero noise) seems to have done all the new damage in the pics. This particular charging coil had no damage with the old delaminated flywheel. The coils are non...

    So i’m swapping the exciter and ignition coils now to try to remedy the deteriorating iginition symptoms and i found some interesting gunk on the case of the exciter coil as well as a dark colored contact on the terminal. I’m praying this is my problem. I’ve also noticed lines on my brand new...

    Got it back on! It’s just a hair more to the left bc of a few holes drifting but not enough to cause issues. If you didn’t see it before you would never know. The oring has plenty of wiggle room on the mating surface. That whole ordeal sucked but have a fresh anode and jacket is cleaned out
