    1996 BF50 Honda Bogging out when trying to plane

    Ok finally got new cover. Since it’s so clean with no pitting do you guys think i should install without any RTV? I hate to gunk it all up if i don’t have to. How are these normally installed? thanks

    Still waiting on helicoil. Yeah some of my holes drifted and left some old screw material. If i pick it out it will be an oval. 2 screws have a little trouble starting when the cover is full seated but if i pull it back just a hair all bolts go i the holes and don’t look cocked when seated...

    Ok thanks…2 of mine are slightly off center so there is a little steel left from 4 to 7 o’clock. I hope it doesn’t cause issues

    i just stuck one of the bolts thru the case and made note of the length and paid attention to the depth. Most I could feel when i reached the end…a few didn’t feel as much i’m sure i ground on them slightly for a few seconds much didn’t go through or anything. Did you use Helicoil brand kit?

    Ok well i’m over the hump- i drilled them all out. Waiting for a m6 x 1.0 helicoil kit (35$). If i had known how much better good drill bits are i wouldn’t have spent so much time welding. These Norseman bits are ABSOLUTELY amazing!!! like not even the same thing as the home depot stuff. I...

    So what are these bolts made of bc i couldn’t get the weld to hold on them with the gasless mig with flux core ? stainless steel? Any ideas…i had it in HIGH and feed on 2/10. Will try more tomorrow.

    thanks matt! i read your ordeal and laughed bc i was just “testing” the bolt out too for later and it snapped lol. Then i just kept going! I’m thinking of using some bottle brushes to ream all the passages out while i’m in here. Was able to get the anode out with an impact screwdriver so...

    i know! i was extra careful with those bc of the clearance with the casing! Today i’ve been spraying and heating. I was able to get the anode out so that’s good. Gonna borrow my father in laws mig welder and weld nuts on them. I’ve had great luck in the past with this. I’m going to u plug...

    Ok i have a exciter coil and set of coils/plug wires coming all mint and tested with warranty for 80$. So i’m 100$ in and will have all major ignition components replaced except CDI. This should be a big leap forward. If this doesn’t work i will have to look at connections/grounds and the CDI...

    Ok got the new pulser coils on and tried it out yesterday. The motor seemed really smooth and i went ahead and planed within a minute of launch and it got up nicely. I quickly noticed it would bog out above 3/4 throttle but when i pulled back to half it smoothed out. I dropped speed and...

    Ok i guess the pulser coil does have 3 individual outputs so i guess it would be a lot more apt to be breaking down under heat and load then the robust CDI. It’s also cheaper and more available. So without guessing i need to be able to test pulse coil output. I’m guessing i need a DVA

    Are you saying like a DVA on the 3 pulser coil outputs?

    Ok tested everything except the CDI.. Everything checked out on all connections seem clean. I know things can test ok cold then fail hot. I’m about to try to decarb in the driveway. I don’t want to separate my new fuel set from the tank compression fittings so might just mix up a gallon of...

    Yeah guys i thought about it all night and the longer we idled the worse it got all around. At the end it was harder to even start and we barely made it back. There were 10 second periods where rpm would go up and boat would sound good. Once we were back in the driveway it started instantly...
